So, you own thousands of dollars worth of trains, and you want to save a few dollars on smoke fluid?!?!?
This always cracks me up....guys that don't blink about spending $1K on an engine but don't want to spend a few bucks on smoke fluid
Except in this case it was a false assumption. The original poster said it wasn't a matter of money, but rather scent. Danr and
gave the best answers.
I'm well aware of it - and was when posting - however I see this A LOT and it is usually from the same suspects running $1K+ locos around.
When I was involved in the modular club, I offered to find a restaurant that was reasonably priced, convenient to highways, etc. for the monthly business meeting. I found one, came back and said it is available on X date. Cost per person for a full, 5 course dinner for 30 guys would be about $15 per person with each paying their share. Several proclaimed how that was "pricey" and we shouldn't go. To me, that was reasonably priced but the same group of people ****ing and moaning about a $15 - GOOD - dinner were all the ones running the biggest and best Legacy/Vision Line/PS3/PS2/MTH/Lionel/Whatever engines and seemingly buying them on a weekly basis.
