new year 2008
Peroni, Jim Beam, and Absinthe (I would be interested in a logical explanation as to why I even bought it, let alone drunk it! :shock: ) makes a person rather philosophical at this stage of the new year. Will the Marklin AC 3 rail survive? :) Will 3 rail be replaced by2 rail AC or DC? :8) Will analogue 2 rail or 3 rail survive? :roll: Will all locomotives come pre installed with full sound chips in the near future? :lol: The only common thread to all this is, when the Nuremberg toy fair rolls around ever year, on the one hand we will be happy, but (and it’s a big but) on one side we will be “wowed” by the new releases, and disappointed by the things that we want that have still to be released. A happy new year to everyone, and may Nuremberg bring something for your layout. John, Thinks its time for bed! :!:

John, My, my, my - that is quite a combination! :shock: Whew! My dear wife happens to be allergic to everything that makes up Absinthe, so we do not have it in the house :8) . However....the Jim Beam.....:wink: .... However, one does wax philosophical this time of year and I like your range of thoughts. I personally hope that "analogue" "3-rail" survives - it is all I have :roll: ! That said, I would like to see all possibilities flourish. It makes it harder for the manufacturers that way, but, so...... :wink: And I can not wait for the new releases so I can turn the "Drool" mode ON! Sound chips...I have no opinion either way :roll: :shock: ...nobody said I was not just a bit strange :lol: Peace in this new year, Jim

Will all locomotives come pre installed with full sound chips in the near future? Oooh, please NOOOOOO!!! :shock: I don't know where you'd fit an EC88 or KT66 in your average HO loco anyway :wink: Steph
