“Here I am at the Waverly Model Engineering Society, where they build the cutest widdle toy trains you ever saw, along with widdle houses and itty-bitty people too! Ain’t that ADORABLE?” It was so dark you could hardly see your hand in front of your face. A switcher was shoving a cut of cars up the yard lead. A switchman on the roof of the lead boxcar was swinging his lantern in a slow come-ahead when the car lurches. He loses his grip on the lantern and it soars through the air. As luck would have it, a guy walking by on the ground catches it in mid-air and tosses it back up to the switchman on the room who continues his slow come-ahead signal! A moment later the cars stop abruptly and the engineer of the switcher runs up and shouts to the man on the roof. “Lemme see you do that again!” “Do what again?” “Jump off the roof of that boxcar and back up!”
Q: What kind of passenger car must never be pushed? A: A PULLman.
When talking to hobby vendors, please remember to mention MRH.
