Well, maybe you and Gramma Cindy should talk...she wants to do a "spring fling" type of thing...it might be too much to have both going at the same time...don't know.

I'm always game for junk though!

I'm in for whichever one everybody decides on. :)

The JT took a full year last time, didn't it, nm? & it got stuck at a few stations, sometimes...but I had a great time participating...so I'd do it again if anyone starts co-ordinates it! Jeanne S.

Just looked up my prints of JT in Iowa ...March 2009...and another note, anyone who's wanting to participate needs to post pics from their train station. (that's what makes it so much fun...seeing the mascot traveling to diff places & the "junk" the train leaves behind! IMO. Jeanne S.

I'm in for what ever is going to go on! Would like for JT to visit again.Grandkids had a grand time..But I'm up for another adventure. Thanks Backyardmom

I would love to participate!

yes, yes, yes~

Please! :)

I wasn't around for the 09 train, so can someone explain it to me? Not sure from reading the posts. Sounds interesting!

Mary 2010,
Read the Junk Train '11 guidelines-updated. If you still have questions, ask!

Okay let's see if I have this correct. The junk train starts out for the first station loaded with a mascot and some "junk". At the first station the station master takes a picture of the "junk" and the mascot, then puts the mascot back on the train, along with a supply of "junk" and sends it on to the next station. Is that it?

You're close.
You take out of the box what junk bits and bobs you can use then reload it with fresh stuff you've collected. Then you send the box on to the next station. We collect "wish lists" of the stationmasters so hopefully you can include some goodies off the next stationmaster's list.
I think I managed to make something that's actually very simple sound complicated. Oh well.
