Impromptu Rapido Meet and Greet, House of Trains
Author: RapidoJordan

Hey guys,

Jason and I are in Nebraska! Tomorrow (January 30), we’ll be stopping by House of Trains in Omaha for an impromptu meet and greet between noon and 2 PM. Come hang out, talk trains, Rapido products and your future project suggestions. After traveling with me for 2 days, Jason is also looking to nerd out and talk Dr. Who.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Jordan

I'd have to get my British wife to cover the Dr who part, but I'm a StarTrek fan since the 60s.

Allas Nebraska is 2 long days drive from Northern VA.

Star Trek is acceptable too.

We just watched Yesterday's Enterprise at the hotel...

Photo below is from today.

Be careful what you wish for...LOL!
Is Spring Creek in Deshler, NE on the menu?  I have my L&N SW9 on pre order with them. Thanks you so much for doing L&N! Wish I could be there but it's about a 10 hour drive.
Safe travels guys!

Good one!  

Yesterdays Enterprise is one of my top ten TNG episodes.  Another great one is The Measure of a Man - is data property? does he have a soul?

Ok sorry, I return you to your regular programming!

Cheers,
Jim

I hope this means more US locomotives in BNSF, UP, NS, CSX.  Some of your competition down here are dissapointing us.

???? I still have my Mustang convertible. Since it is a 1966, maybe before I sell it, I will get a photo of it with a new looking 1966 EMD locomotive. GP40? SD40?

This is the only photo I have with mine and a locomotive. Going to have to remedy that soon.

On second thought, it might NOT be appropriate to pose my Mustang next to a GM product--maybe a 1966 Alco Century or GE instead? (Technically, it came off the production line in Nov. 1965.)
