"I'm dating a French model!"

Thus the desire to move to a larger "scale."

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

While the rumor is just so much smoke I do know from my own circle of Z-heads that the lack of new models by MTL in Z has a lot of us thinking that Z is on it's way out at MTL.There are so many of the  N scale offerings that we would like to see in Z but nobody listens to us.

I'm quite happy that they aren't going away . :D

Wow!  Does anybody younger than 40 is even familiar with WW II?  I bet casmmr goes to McDonalds and orders "freedom fries". Remember those?  :facepalm:

BTW, I was not one of the down-votes on his post.  :|

I'm half French, and I gave him an upvote. Tried to give him more, but couldn't. Rats.


Hmm... why can't I vote...?

Kis, the French start things and then need U.S. to come in and finish things for them.  So they are on the winning side, just cannot do it themselves, sort of like the little brother who goes looking for trouble from the neighborhood bully, finds it and runs to big brother for protection.  Why do the French have so many tree lined streets?  Because the Germans like to conduct their victory parades in the shade.  later,

Remember when America needed France's help to fight the British? Pepperidge farms remembers...

And as a historical point of order, it was the British and Canadians who had the most impact in the first world war, and arguably the Soviets who had the most impact in the Second world war...  Not to take away from the bravery and sacrifice of the untold masses who served under any flag...
The Railwire is not your personal army.  :trollface:
