This gives me one of my good ideas.

For couple years I have subscribed to Garden Railways magazine with intention of modeling President Lincoln's funeral train in 1:20.3 G scale. And using the railroad to serve drinks.

Problem: Funeral train does not put the fun back in funeral. President Lincoln not party animal.

But tiki train is. And tiki train does not need specific steam locomotive.

A geared logging locomotive which ordinarily looks out of place on anything but a logging railroad can be used. I would like to see a rivet counter (model railroader who is critical if minute detail overlooked) say, "Oh hell no! Fairies don't run Heisler locomotives!"

And just in case, I will learn Photoshop and have incontrovertible proof that Heislers are the only damn locomotives fairies do run. Take that, rivet boy!

Kenbo-jitsu, forty years from now when I am in golden retirement years happily working under the summer sun in the garden on my tiki train, I will think of you.

I might even buy tiki fairies and torches.
