I have to agree with Bob on this one. I really don't mind the outrage jokes, (and the fact I posted the picture should also make light of that), but this whole thing, as Bob stated, is spinning way, way out of control. Yes, the diamonds are long overdue to be replaced. That's been obvious for a while, but it's still not worth getting this excited over...lets try to wind it down until they actually do go in. And we'll know, enough railfans here visit (and monitor) Durand.Mr. Tops wrote:THEY ARE JUST STEENKING DIAMONDS. Someone who knows how to spell better than the above, please let us know when the diamonds are actually being replaced, and no more daily updates, of "are they in yet?" or "I think they are getting replaced!!" We have already discussed the differences between flange-bearing and regular diamonds, and it is clear that nobody here knows 100% yet what they are going to be or when they are going to be replaced. I don't think I've ever seen a thread spin it's wheels this much before.

Bob, I can see where you are coming from. But, I have been going to Durand since I was five years old. This is the first time I remember a diamond going in at Durand. It is a big deal for me because it will change the way we watch trains in Durand! (I mean listen to them). Since they are high speed diamonds, I will really miss the slamming and the sparks of the diamond there now.Mr. Tops wrote:YEs, nevar have i scene a 3 page thred about a dimond,, What is the Big deal?

Ya, you are right Bob! I was just saying maybe we can get a meet going there since the new diamonds are going to be in soon. I know that the new ones are there, because I have heard from about ten people that have seen them. I just kinda wanted to hear the crap diamonds for one last time.Mr. Tops wrote:I wasn't mocking you Ben, just being a wee-tod.

Pat C said DR and Steven were going to check with Gregg and GTW6401 to see if the museum curator would check and report to TrainWatcher and have him tell SW who would text Mr. TSB who would email Norm to confirm what the curator reported then let Mr PSG know to tell TC John to let CRMike and J T text Zack who has instruction to not tell ADBF cause they'll call everyone on this list and threaten themMr. Tops wrote:I wasn't mocking you Ben, just being a wee-tod.

Do you mean to say you're actually outraged? ACTUALLY, eh?DR wrote:The grammar on this board OUTRAGES me!!!!
