Where's the "Playmate of the Year" series, huh?

It's all too easy to mock Micro-Trains fantasy schemes.
(this is not a hint about the next series  ;))

I'm waiting for the presidential assasin series that will quickly follow the president's series. Each car will come with a copy of Catcher in the Rye. I'm sure it will be a big hit.

Of corse we all know their "Mc Donald's" location series will be a big hit too.

It's a shame that they are locked into "series cars that we can do without paying licensing fees".  If they took the plunge and paid for rights to do a Star Wars series, they would probably sell two million of each car.

New from Micro Trains for 2009.... " Famous Model Train Pundents" car series..... start your collection with the Tony Koester car - it won't go anywhere without a waybill, a Car Track plate and a CTC system being installed on your layout... Next will be the MR editorial board car, it will be emblazened with the Walthers and Woodland Scenic's logo and related advertising........ ;D
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

That sprung a maybe better off dead brain cell into life . What about a cattle car with a cow in it and coupler springs mounted under its hoofs which in-turn are mounted in detents in the floor allowing the heifer to wobble around a bit . A Mad Cow car , bobbin around like a car rear deck wobbly head .

I could go for a Three Stooges 4-pack but only if they had sound.

I curious to know what N-Scale Collector will be doing to further enhance this series… “Almost A President” cars? What will we get, Al Gore? How about William Henry Harrison – he was only in office a few months?

That Southern 50' boxcar would have been running back in 1972 right?

If it fits the era i might just have to get one of'em.

I'd have to break the set and sell the Shemp car.

Nah. Repaint it into a Curly Joe car.

If they were used on a switching layout, would it be considered the Curly Shuffle?
