New Thunderbird?

I have never made a secret of my Goth penchant, Jake!!! I even bought these guys' current CD!!!

Herr Biersack (what a name, he sure doesn't look like it!) and his fellow mascara-lovers sure did a lot of listening to HIM (the band, not Ritchie Blackmore). Probably too catchy for real Goth lovers and then that heavy metal guitar solo, but I like it. Is this what happens when American youths try to sound Yuropeän?

The ever enematic holy Zephyr! I now have vivid visions of that chrome torpedo of a train entering, no, intruding a dark damp tunnel, the glistening metal forcing its way in ...

Parental advice: There is nothing innocent about model trains or the people who collect them.

60's spec please! Is that so much to ask? Have SD or Lull do the pups. use my bridge and offer a II as well as a IV. It's not that f'ng difficult.

Unfortunately it does seem to be too difficult for them.

Boy that sure looks good all chromed out!

Dave W · October 24, 2013, 10:43:00 AM

That does look nice. Chromed TB Plus or something else? You would think he would mention if these were upscale replacements, especially at the asking price.

Too bad they didn't put a Badbird bridge under that bridge cover instead of another three pointer.
...and yes, nickel is the way to go.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the pups. It really does look great!
