another one

off my bucket list.
Today I was able to accomplish this, the only steam engine of the Strasburg railroad that I didn't have a quarter squashed by it.

Hey @dwhiz . That reminds me of my childhood . I use to live a train track and once in awhile we use to do the same thing . Always pennies because I never had the clad to spare .

 

@dwhiz I wonder if it might be worth your effort to use an engraver and mark each of your squishies by the train that ran them over.

 

You used to live on a train track? Well now, that explains everything.

 

What a great goal!

Brings back memories of my youth.

Brings back memories doesn't it for those around before all this that was your daily fun.

 

@dwhiz . My best time with Trains is when the Carnival would go by with all it's attractions aboard . Another cool thing is there apparently was a person that knew the Conductor and lived in our house before us because everyday he wood slow down and throw us a NY times newspaper. ( Amtrack) .

 

Neat.. List them on Ebay as 'Rare Mint Errors'.. I'm sure some bidiots will fall for it

(I'm just kidding of course )

 

Thats what I'd do. Or you can buy an engraver for like 10 bux at Lowes.

 

Same here. The store wouldn't take my squished nickels so I squished nuts, washers, bolts, screws, nails, and knock outs from electrical boxes. Sometimes it would be many hours or days before the next train came by so I would have a line of different stuff on the track.

 

I have several coins that were smooshed by the SP 4449, I need to get some smooshed by the UP 4014 Big Boy

 

I think my SP Mountain 4-8-2 needs to come out of the shed and rip up the rails tonight.
