The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[gnatshop]

Check beside the far end wall next to that oval shaped climbing thingee!
Last I saw, he had laid some plywood down so he'd have a clear spot to
take a nap!
If he's there, he's probly in need a Diet Pepsi transfusion!!

When I got this far in, I heard someone mumbling to themselves. I called to Tom and again got no answer. I backed up a little and called his name once again.
"TOM"?



The mumblings continued and it was then I realized it was Tom, my ACL1504!
I found him under the layout or some kind of ovalix thing. I'm not sure if he was going under or coming out.



After several minutes I got him to come out. He had this distant stare and was saying stuff like, FSM George, Floquil, RRkits, Jimmy's car wash, Doug Fos-Foscale, Expo '15, code 70, Fast Tracks, I, cork roadbed, burned fingers, more 1x4's, Gman, need, matte medium, SRMW, brass, to many passenger cars, Ledbetter, a, Xacto, Scenic Express, Walthers, hot glue, Dio Sol, no hand laid track, rail joiners, Erieman, NMRA 2017, damn, to much stuff, behind schedule, three levels, Smokey Bones BBQ, SS Ltd., Master Creations, not enough stuff, Diet, Scale Coat, CCK, Bober won't believe it, Pepsi ---------

Well, you all get the idea. We got Lil' Tommy out and opened a Diet Pepsi and let him take a good whiff! He perked up a little but was still in a daze. I grabbed a couple of Pentrex and Green Frog DVDs, got him in the house and in front of the TV! We expect him to be fully recovered in a day or two. In the mean time the Orlando Police Dept. arrived and declared the train room an official crime scene until further notice.



I'll keep everyone updated. Thank You!

John,

I'm sure they are. He keeps stuff like rare decals in the climate controlled vault!

Oh my goodness.....just hold on Pam, I'll be right down to help Tom with the 12 step program for his Diet Pepsi withdrawals.
 
I'll call the SBG and we'll come up with a schedule so one of us is monitoring him at all times.
 
Not to worry, we'll get him thru this with minimal damage!

Greg,

I really appreciate the help. You know Lil' Tommy, when he goes crazy like, he goes all out! He got on my last nerve this morning at breakfast. I asked the waitress to bring him a Diet Pepsi in an attempt to get him back to some sort normal behavior. As you know full well, nothing with him is ever normal! I guess you could say that normal is usually not normal around here. I think we live an alternate life as Blondie and Dagwood!

I looks like date night Wednesday ran in to Thursday!! You two should not spend all day Thursday together like this. Look what happens. I am sure the both of you will be ok in the morning.

I bet, if they look behind that wall of Yellow Boxes, they'll find Jimmy Hoffa.

Besides, as far as I'm concerened, we're normal and everyone else is bonkers!

Bill,

Date night was pretty special and no Diet Pepsi! I'm okay now but Lil' Tommy is still in front of the TV!   He should be normal, whatever normal is for him, in the morning.

Dave,

Thanks for checking in! Actually, I'm afraid to look behind the yellow boxes. I'll get Lil' Tommy to do it in the morning. He probably has more trains behind the yellow boxes.

Speaking of yellow boxes.....with all the stuff he has, Tom's man cave/train room might also be called an unlisted hobby shop!

Greg,

I'm checking to see if he has anything new in here! For the past several years he only say, " No babe, that isn't new. I've had that for years."

Babe,
 
You might want to keep an eye on the ovalix area.....I heard rumors that it might have been designed to keep the dancing girls (polite way to say strippers?) hidden in between parties!
