Trains Magazine General Discussion

I know that everyone else on these here forums have other intrests besides trains. What are your other intrests. Things like Sports, TV, Trying to get LC to give Jim H. his RS18, Roller Blading, Playing Golf, or Going out to pick up women.

I know that Mookies other hobby is her Dear Cat that she would jump into a pool of Molton Lava to save named Mookie. (Sorry Jen, Couldnt Resist),

Johns (The guy sitting in Jail for Failing Spanish and throwing his computer onto a BNSF Train, and was fined $26.50, aka Railpac) other hobby is Football, He and his mom are St. Louis Rams Season Ticket holders.

I don’t really know about Jim H…

Raakone’s other hobbies (He hasnt been on here for a while) includes drawing, writting stories and going to coffee bars in his home City of Montreal.

This one will be a shocker, but I have several other hobbies than trains. But the number 1 non train hobby that I am into is… Japanese Animation, AKA Anime. You guys werent expecting that, were ya? But, my Railroad Videos currently out number my Anime Videos on a 2-to-1 bases. My current favorite series is Galaxy Express 999, which is about a train powered by a Southern Pacific GS-4 type 4-8-4 locomotive that travels through outer space. My other hobbies include Going out to Baseball games, Shooting Video, and Relaxing at our families homested in Northwestern New Mexico…

…Well you know some of my hobbies, but what about you guys, What are your other intrests, I know that you guys must have at LEAST 1 other hobby, But if its railroad that your intrested in, than you have no life…

Adios for know, and remember:

“All your bases are belong to us”

Trains are my life!

I’m retired due to disability and my kids are grown. In the past at various times I was into building models as a kid, radio, playing in a rock band, electronics, computers, and R/C airplanes.

Now it’s just the trains…
(oh yeah, and attractive women whatever their age.)

6

I crochet afghans and read. Like biographies, Christian romances, mysteries
(especially Lilian Jackson Braun), and sometimes the other romances.
Every once in a while I’ll read a science fiction book of locomutt’s if I can get
into the plot.

7

I play with my daughter, tend to the house and watch baseball. I also read anything I can get my hands on!

8

I like to modify and race cars, work on the model railroad, and garden (vegetables).

9

Model railroading, drawing, demonology, writting, politics, and listening to music mostly.

10

Besides being a railfan and toy train collector, I do have several other interests. Acting is big interest of mine. I’ve always been in school drama and would like to purue this interest further. I also enjoy writing and have done a couple of screenplays. I also love to read (mainly mysteries and WWII books). And, of course, I enjoy movies, TV and music, but who doesn’t?

11

I live and breathe railroads, with a special interest in freight cars–current and historic. Outside of that (or perhaps in connection with that), I’m a bicyclist–not competitive, but I manage to pedal at least a couple thousand miles a year. At home, I’m processing (and corresponding about) my freight car observations and listening to classical music.

12

Well other than the fact that I love railroads;I am a very avid reader,do some woodworking,do a lot of photography,and TRY to keep up with current news.[:)]

13

Hummm…
Which one, which one…
I know!

Besides getting paid to kick cars in a nice and busy classification yard, I hand craft writing insturments, rollerball, ball point and fountain pens, and mechanical pencils.
I also make wood and acrylic pocket watches, and do wood turning.
(Shameless plug here, go to my profile and click on my website to see samples)
Currently working on a line of aluminum pens and penciles…

All that leaves is the collecting of old calvary sabers, riding horses, rebuilding our house, and helping my wife raise and breed her boa constrictors…
Oh, and somewhere in there, we managed to have three daughters…kinda a career in its self!

15

Railroading and other activities with my 2-yr-old son (an avid railfan and model railroader himself), and various fix-it jobs around the house.

16

Got any good Anime you’d like to suggest? I havent seen anything remotely good since Cowboy Bebop came to the US. I really cant stand the rather repeditive recent imports.

BTW, GE-999 is not based on an SP GS4 or any other American Engine, its based on a Japan National Railways JNR class J-50 engine common during the 1940’s and 50’s, same with the passenger cars. Look up old photos from Japanese steam train era and you’ll see almost identical trains. The creator of the series used his childhood memories of steam engines as the base reference and those were from Japanese steamers.
