Take a Model Train to Work Day
Author: lizzard_45

Well, it's the third Friday of November (Which is Model Railroader Month.) And that means, it's Take a Model Train to Work Day!
I'm taking my HO version of the Prospector.
What are you taking?
Please post pics!!

Be a proud Model Railroader!!! Don't sound like my childhood bud-I always mentioned something about "trains" in front of him and his, co-workers on purpose,just to see him burn.My close co-workers enjoyed it too,and they were also interested in model trains and railroading,and enjoyed when i brought in a new piece or a project,oh I operated Construction Equipment for a living,loved it and miss it.

One day a fellow rail engineering consultant invited me to drop by his cubicle.
What he had was a perfectly painted, lightly weathered Tenshado SP AC-12 cab-forward. We were both former employees of the "friendly".
Good advertising, later he custom painted a SP-1 4-10-2 for me.

Damn, I wonder if model trains would be considered an electronic device...the conductor doesn't use his desk other than to lay his head on and sleep...

Sure did. I brought my OMI ATSF full dome 60 to work. My co-workers know about my interest in trains and don't bother or kid me about it.

Big problem. I guess you'd have to have "take a PowerPoint presentation to work" day...
