So how many miles do you think that F&SM Hopper has on it so far?

[bparrish]

John...

I'll put it on the RIP track when it arrives if it needs anything.

My guess for an HO car............ A LOT of miles ! ! ! !

Karl...

Cool....... Thanx..... I'll watch for it.  I have a secure lockable neighborhood gang box nearly in front of our house.  The mail carries is so cool that any railroad looking packages that come along, he brings to the door.  I might make a modeler out of him yet.

Thanx
Bob

It's great to hear the Hopper is on the move again.  It's time to get your name on the list if you want to host it.  Just post here on this thread and send me a PM with your address.

John and all...

The hopper is on the way to me.......... thanx.

I need the address of who is next....... I think Jim Mueller.

This is going to be a quick turn around as I am leaving for central Idaho on Friday and then home for a day on Monday and then off to Portland for a week with the grand kids.

Hi John

I'm keen to be involved.

If you guys are feeling adventurous you can ship across the pond to Australia.

I hosted Tom's AS car when it was traveling the world so wouldn't mind doing likewise with George's.

Regards
Bagman

The Hopper Car will soon be heading to Australia!  Anyone else interest from that part of the world while it's there?

Australia Kool!
       
          Can't wait to see the interchanges across the pond.  I wonder if the Annabell will be ferrying the car over. Quick!, Karl, build an annabell barge for the trip!  If anyone can build one quickly, I know you can.   Bagman, remember lots of pics.   Thanx Thom...
