OK, let’s have some fun with this.
I posted this earlier on “that other forum”, and had some good back and forth.
Granted some of the references make me a “geezer”, but then again, I did turn 50 a few weeks back.
The legacy of Lenny Dean means much more to you than the legacy
The first thing you think of when you here “Hudson” is a majestic
Your know that General Mills made much more than cereal.
Back in the day, if your wife, or kids wanted to go to Two Guys, you
You never went to Branch Brook Pool Company, for pools.
You knew not to go into Madison Hardware for hammers, or nails.
You know that Marx, and Marxists can be a good thing.
Toot, Toot, Beep, Beep, has nothing to do with ladies of the night.
You agree that a 2nd Mount Rushmore should include Joshua Cowen.
Hillside, and Irvington NJ mean more to you than Atlantic City, NJ.
Feel free to add you own.

You look at model 2 rail track and think something is missing.
On your trip to Colorado, the “Wall of Trains” at Mizell Trains is as much a trip highlight as driving to the top of Pike’s Peak.
You refer to a Lionel dealers listing when planning your next vacation.
You actually post in this thread! [:D]
Isn’t that a fact!
…The Christmas layout you set up in your living room 13 years ago is still there, AND you are still married and on speaking terms with your wife…except when occasionally she complains “why does my living room look like a garage”, and the explanation that there are required upgrades in progress does not satisfy…
runtime
Or…
You married the RIGHT woman and SHE’S the one suggesting the upgrades! [(-D]

When your wife dangles a trip to Grandpas Train Depot over your head as a way to get you to complete that home improvement project she wants done.
I guess I’m not one of “you”. Hope I am still welcome on “your” forum

If you owned a Hudson car in honor of the 700E
You think of Jerry Williams(founder of Williams trains) and not Serena Williams(tennis star).
You know that Mike’s Train House(MTH) is not a building.
You know that Ives(Ives Trains, until sometime in the 1930’s) wasn’t part of Currier & Ives.
You remember that American Flyer was originally three rail trains, before WW2.

You also compile a list of public layout displays to visit.
Isn’t that a fact!

Being an American Flyer Fanatic I just couldn’t resist. Lee, American Flyer was originally on two rails before they went to three (clockwork trains).
A “Big” fan of S Gauge but still a fan of O Gauge,

RT - Not to worry, I’m not trying to insult anyone, just having a little fun.

I know I reread what I found and it said clock work first then added electric O and wide gauge so the clockwork of coarse was 2 rail but not the S we think of when you say American Flyer

When you decorate for Christmas, the first thing you think of is setting the trains up in the living room, and leaving them up until new years!
You can still remember vividly how the floor vibrated beneath your feet as the O gauge Phoebe Snow went by on the New York Society of Engineers outside third rail layout upstairs in the Lackawanna Hoboken terminal.

On your e-harmony profile you list a great love of o gauge as a desirable quality in your mate! [:D]
