A train ride at L.A.L.S.

[MarkConductor775]

No, this is Lloyd Davis's loco and train...he built everything except for the club gondola and flats in there.

[MarkConductor775]

Little 0-4-0.

[MarkConductor775]

This was just one a saturday when we decided to come in and run. I'm the engineer, jason and andrew in the train are my buddies, but I'm not a member, they are.

I thought you were not allowed to video tape while on the trains. Everytime I go there they get mad and yell at me if they see my video camera, whats the deal with video tapeing on the ride ?

[MarkConductor775]

we were there when no one else was there, and it's a privately owned, non-public carrying train.

[DC6V]

True, true... but I was talking so I was quite paying attention; also, the view isn't bad from the passenger type of view.

[ggspin12]

I am a friend of Marks, could i maybe come down there one day?

[ggspin12]

YOUR SOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!

[MarkConductor775]

become a member, or get friends in this hobby.

[doglover1000]

Dont crash Mark. Your so lucky. See, you deserve to have to go back to school and I dont. You guys are always doing stuff that I cant so I get to sit here for another week while you go to school.

[MarkConductor775]

I'm a member now!

[MarkConductor775]

Hey, there I am! LOL! nice camera work.

[BRIANamtrak]

cute.

[ggspin12]

wats the speed limits

[MarkConductor775]

none. well, try and keep it under 25mph if u can go that fast.

[chappybolo]

Yeah, there are speed limits, it's 6 mph for 7.5'' gauge, 8 mph for 4.75'' and 3.5'' gauges, but no one follows them....

[MarkConductor775]

y'all can go faster? No $%^#ing way. That's not fair. I seriously thought it was like 15mph. no one has speedometers!

[chappybolo]

Watch it Mark, they have a radar gun and they'll catch ya in the west end, of course, when they see my little engine @ highball they don't do nothing...

[MarkConductor775]

do they really? I went the whole meet speeding w/ that little thing, and didn't have any problems, except on that mondo grade on the Mt. Division.

[chappybolo]

Maybe cause you're not a member, they went easy on you.

[MarkConductor775]

Oh shut up Oskar. Truth be told, they don't know the difference.

[chappybolo]

Okay, Okay sorry, sorry!

[chappybolo]

hehe.....hehe....hheeeehhhhheh­hehahehahehahahhahhehahhhhehha­hhaeeeeeeeeeeeeheaaaaaeeeaeaea­aeeaeaeaaeeeaeaaeaaeeaeaaaaeea­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhahea­hhhehhhahhhahhhhhahhhhhhh.....­............................Ke­yboard experimentations......

[MarkConductor775]

no one seems to give a crap period. I don't see anyone breaking out the po-po speeder or radar gun.

[chappybolo]

Who cares, it's fun to crash their cabooses...

[MarkConductor775]

have u done that before? I think that's a bit ironic, considering Lloyd/Andrew's fell off the lift not that long ago....

[chappybolo]

Sort of...long story...if u want to know, YouMail me.

[MarkConductor775]

ok.

[CoasterMike2105]

Haha! LOL! It looks kind of like the train is being pulled by you!! Great engineer skills, Mark!

[MarkConductor775]

thanks!

[MarkConductor775]

Thanks! It does take some practice, and the thing has real airbrakes, all locos and cars are supposed to. It's a load of fun, you should try it some time!

[CoasterMike2105]

Mark, btw, the vid is gone (along with 420 others...)

[MarkConductor775]

I saw.

[CoasterMike2105]

what is wrong?

[MarkConductor775]

?what r u talkin' about?

[CoasterMike2105]

you sound upset...

[MarkConductor775]

Well, now I am. Don't much want to talk about it right now...

[CoasterMike2105]

wow, wth? u really have some issues...

[MarkConductor775]

No dude, you don't even know what about. So don't go making assumptions. Why, what'd you think I was upset about?

[chappybolo]

I wasn't there when that happened, seriously.

[MarkConductor775]

I know, I hated going over that, but I was afraid the low ground clearance and the weight would affect me going over the mountain division.
