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!

This made me laugh out loud. Talk about a warped [pun!] sense of humor. It must be great/awful working for him.

They do bear a strong resemblance to the 23rd century shuttles...  A little longer, but I've always suspected that the Starfleet versions really didn't have room for the power plants and life support machinery, so these may be closer to what a "real" shuttle would have looked like.  I like them!

Are you going to sell some that way?

Hey, but you're still alive and kicking!  8) Are you sure you weren't wearing a blue or a yellow shirt?  :D

Thought I recently saw photos of Jason visiting Model Railroader headquarters wearing a yellow Star Trek shirt?

I'd buy these.  Or maybe a Movie-era set.

Though the warp drive is correct, the anti-matter containment is obviously from an earlier class Enterprise.



SHRON!!!
