Soon to be bus-set.

“We’re of the Cramden/Norton school….”

Jets are cheaper than trains now.

“We’re stuck where we are. Face it… we’re Cement-Set.”

At my age I’m cane-set.

To get the jet instead, she could simply say, “That’s a good idea. A train IS more romantic”…

We’re the old Chevro-let set. RIP John Prine.

He’s more like horse and buggy-set.

Nowadays the train ride costs more than the jet ride

That’s me but mine is a slow train, it’s been going in circles for a long time now and it derails from time to time.

Hand car

She thought he had money. That’s why she married him.

He has an ’00’ gauge budget.

H.O. scale train set…

Now she’s upset.

Greyhound class for this family

That beats Covered Wagon set, with all those flaming arrows being shot at you

More like boxcar set.

We’re blessed in my country with extremely good, efficient, and cheap inter-provincial bus transportation, which more than compensates for the fact that we have no rail system (other than a tourist train) and poor to virtually non-existent in-country air transportation.

Hand me down my walking shoes.

Thumb-set.

About the same cost, here in the US. Pathetic but true.

As in Lionel.

Lionel train, at that.

I’ll be “shoe set”, as soon as I can afford some decent shoes.

That’s cause they’re beset with financial problems.

Soon to be wheel chair set.

and model train set at that ….

I’m more the parking lot set.
