    Ok, I’m not sure if it was here on Trainboard, FB or just a dream, but I was talking to someone recently who had some custom run cars that he has for sale and I was going to message him when I could buy. Well now I can buy, but I have no clue where the conversation was. I have spent the last few hours here looking, and also on FB looking. Does anyone remember this and can they point me in the right direction.

    P.S. no alcohol or drugs were involved, I just can’t find my conversation. It was roughly in the last month or so.

    What were the cars? Might help us to guess who you were looking for.

    Was this in our Swap Meet? In a forum? In a "Conversation" (PM)?

    I looked there already, and nothing. There is a possibility that it wasn’t even here that it was said, but I don’t have any emails or FB messages either… I don’t think I’m crazy…

    When I get home tomorrow I will check my main laptop the messages may have been saved on it, the email program I use on it keeps everything… right now I’m in Alaska again and have no access to it.

    Did something similar years ago. Swore to (and at !!!) people that I found two LL CRI&P N Alco C-415s in red / yellow scheme, two road numbers. Actually held them in my hands at LHS !!!
    Wound up costing me 2 cases of beer, one to LHS owner !!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    I had similar a couple years ago. I was suppose to be shipped stuff. The stuff and original owner seem to be long gone. :(

    Ha, ha, spoke to a colleague today who described in detail an action from the Falklands Conflict in 1982, then couldn't recall what we'd discussed in a meeting last week. We now call it 'C.R.S.' syndrome (Can't Remember Stuff)

    You're not dreaming if you see a Dan Lewis article on modeling these very units in the latest issue of Railroad Model Craftsman...
    ...except, not in N, but in Horribly Oversized...

    Of all the things you have lost, do you miss your mind the most? I do.

    :D

    And I found it! It was through E-mail from a live stream I attend on YouTube on Mondays. It was saved on my laptop, but not on my tablet. So problem solved!

    Now could you look around your house and see if you can find my electrical items, pretty please :)

    You mainly looking for these :) And momentary switches, electrical connectors, terminal blocks, adhesive things, etc... I really don't want to order 100 more when I only used like 10-15, but I am getting very frustrated now!

    I always order those in the 100s or more… I always find uses for them so they come in handy for more than just trains. But that’s me, I do many things that have to do with electrical.

    They don't go to another dimension, they just go home to Oregon.

    I have never been able to find this one locomotive, has anyone ever seen it of purchased one? Not a single one of my vendors ever had one.
    It is my Amtrak missing Link!

    Did you order it with the ESU decoder option? It still hasn't been released, according to the Kato rep at Springfield.

    I will take anyway I can get it! DC, with a decoder, with sound. It is my only missing locomotive in my Amtrak fleet.
