Cool bet that was something in its day.
My little steam train lit up and smoked. Loved that.
I had a cheap set here as an adult I got at a yard sale. It had a special car that had a rubber coated wheel in the middle that had some kinda little sand or rocks in it. It touched the track and as the train moved it tumbled and made that chug chug chug sound.
id still like a little Z scale set. MUCH to expensive these days. A cheeseburger is on my list of big purchases Monday.
This is what I had. I still remember the day my dad gave it to me. I also think this loco and rolling stock are still in an old foot locker in my basement that I haven't opened in a couple of decades.

That looks like my engine but mine may have had only 3 driving wheels. And mine wasn't a Chattanooga ChooChoo

I don't enjoy it when I hear it, but I get it. I used to have a great voice (blowing my own horn there), and could talk for hours. Since I got the back of my tongue cut off, though, it's harder to understand, and it only takes a half an hour of speech before my tongue feels like it just did an afternoon of power lifting. Some people don't have the voice of a narrator, or they have a speech impediment, or they have a strong accent that tends to make them unintelligible to people in most other parts of the world:

I got about 80% of that. My wife had a Indian doctor once and she couldn't understand him. I could sit and listen and understand everything he said.
Re: YouTube videos - post'm if ya got'm nsfw possible.
Last Saturday we attended our dear friends' Passover Seder. It's always a great event because everyone (about 30 people) brings their best cooking and high spirits. The readings are expected to be challenged and commented upon (wittily and a little irreverently), so the Haggadah takes a while. This year's was the first in-person Passover in two years, so everyone was especially animated.
Having recently quit drinking alcohol, I can report that a Passover Seder is *far* more trying when done on nothing but sparkling water.

Came across a cool little YouTube channel called Construction General. He builds mini things...like a lot of water powered mini structures...dams, pond generators...neat stuff.
Did I just see, the other day, something about this in the news? People coming to his defense or something over this???

Yeah, it was posted on Twitter for its anniversary and there was much "WTF?" from millennials (who I guess for some reason were still on Twitter?) on why it was funny.
I could say the same for some of the TikTok stuff my kids find hilarious. Humor is subjective and can be generational, so <shrug>.

Man 17 years. Sure flew by. Weren't original videos limited to 10 or 30 seconds in the beginning? I remember watching one and realizing it was 15 min or more long and liking the change. Its sure a lot more a place than it started out to be.
Remember this gem?

Pretty much a legend when you can be dead 27 years and still put on a show for a huge crowd.

"Some say this time was paradise. "
"Some" doesn't include anybody who was black. Or brown. Or gay. Or non-Christian. It was a paradise for a few, at the expense of the rest.

Me and the wife always dreamed of going back in time to the 50s. Take in a old movie like a b sci fi. Then hit up a diner for some good food. Walk around town and buy some nick nacks . Would be great to be able to do. The movie and the diner are really appealing.

Considering whites it wasn't exactly "a few" but you're absolutely right about the rest.

Whites? No, not just a few. But when you expand it 'straight white Christian males', the only group who 'had it all', the numbers change. Specific demographics are hard to dig up, but it looks like, just in the US, around 40% of the population qualified for the American Dream in 1960
