[OldBlue67]

Well I origionally asked for the whole weekend off because I wasnt sure what day you guys were planning for the big get togeather. of course since its sunday they didnt give me sunday off I'd still love to get out on sat if anyone is going to be there

[72hiboy4x4]

Liz and I will be in Seattle doing the sights (aquarium and Pike's st Market). The only other one that has said he's off on Saturday is 390nut, but I haven't heard if he wants to join us yet.
You feel like going with us?

The MNG won't happen until 4:30-5:00. if your off early enough, you can boogie on down....

[Tallboy]

Still up in the air if the truck will be running......
I should be getting the motor back sometime on Thursday or Friday so we'll see

Jen and I are going on the dinner train on Sunday so we won't be able to make the swap.....

Maybe Saturday we'll be able to meet up. 72 PM me your cell and we'll see whats up

[Faithful Old Road Dog]

I've got Fri-Tues off! I thought this time I'd make it easier on myself and give myself more driving/site seeing time. I haven't figured out what to do yet. I just know that I need to be close to Puyallup Saturday night to make the swap on Sunday morning. My kid will be with me, anyone know of steam train places up that direction?

[pat67shorty]

You sure you are going to be able to yard that rig out of its storage?

I think there is still a model train museum on the hill towards Bonney Lake. Maybe Heep can see when they are open?
Apparently there is a dinner train somewhere, ask tallboy about that one.

BTW:the weather has been great the last couple days! a little rain this morning, but it shaped up nice by mid-afternoon.

There's a dinner train in Renton, it's called The Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. It runs Friday and Saturday nights as well as Sunday brunch, I believe. It's pricy though, we last went about 1 1/2 years ago, I think it cost about $75 apiece.

[390Nut]

Not sure if I'll still make it Saturday or not. I might have to work in the morning, and I've got a whole lot of harnesses to finish up and get shipped this weekend, if I can.

I'll let ya know by friday evening though, so I can figure out where I am going if I can make it.

Do you know if it's a steam train?

[heep70]

Its not a steam train. I believe this will be the last year it will be running.

I don't know any train museum in BL.

[72hiboy4x4]

ITs a little toy train museum/show area 1/2 way up the hill before you get to BL. O.n the top floor of a tavern, or restaurant thing on the right side. Been a while sincce I've been up there, I can't remember what the place is called now

[kentdaryl]

Is that the place that used to be a winery? Back to F.O.R.D.'s question, does the train out of Elbe run this time of year?

Thanks for the offer, thats my stomping ground right there, I go to school in walking distance of both. I'll see how things go, I'm going to try to rearange my schedule a bit I'm just not sure how much I can (I've been kinda rearanging it a lot lately )

As of right now I dont get off until 6 on sun ad travel time and I would be rollin in around 7. Although to ad to complications Blue has sprung a leak in either a hose or the water pump and isnt drivable at the moment....I hadnt even thought of not having a ride But thats what boyfriends are for right?

The Elbe train isn't running yet because of track damage in the Nov. floods. They should be going soon.

Yep, that's the place. The museum is upstairs. The restaurant itself is kinda lame.
