Blue Comet is one of my favorite episodes, pity Bobby buys it but isn't able to finish his purchase of the Blue Comet. I always liked Bobby.
The actual layout now resides at the home of the TMB Model Train Club. You can come by to visit and see this layout in person, including Boby's blood stains, during our open house events Jan 19/20 or Feb 2/3. our open houses run from 11am to 4pm. If you do stop by please be sure to introduce yourself as an OGR Forumite, glad to meet you!!.

Here is the link to the scene in Trainland where poor Bobby gets whacked.
Seeing Trainland brought back fond memories of my childhood. The money I earned from my newspaper route in Plainview, L.I. was used to buy my first train....a Wabash A & B unit. I was about 14 years old at the time (1955?) when my parents drove me there. I picked that engine, which was on display up on a high shelf at Trainland......as it was blue (and white)....my favorite color at the time was blue! I loved to run that engine on the small layout I had, and ran it most of the time fast enough to jump off the tracks! Abuse....I know, but I still have that engine, although it is time for it to be "refurbished". Still enjoying trains. I had the opportunity to be at the Hicksville LIRR station when the last of the steam engines was sent off and replaced. Think it was a Boy Scout celebration. I continue to work on my layout here in Florida. Haven't been back to Trainland since the time I purchased that Wabash......but the next time I visit my brother in Port Jefferson, I will make the trip to Trainland for "nostalgia purposes"! Hope the "boys" from Soprano are not there that day!
