Card exchanges can be done alongside package trains :)
"I have read and understand all the Package Train Rules/Guidelines" I understand if I do not follow the guidelines my name will be added to to the consequence list in the sticky”
Currently not apart of any trains. Would like to join for me and my 3 kids. Kyle 13, Abigail 7, and Molly 5
lemme know if you should be on one of the lists
I'm interested in doing this but I have a couple of questions. 1) Do you have to be on other trains at the moment to qualify to participate in this one? 2) How does our "buddy" get decided, is it random? 3) Is there a link to other years threads on this? It would be fun to look through and see what other people got sent other years :) Thanks!
Ill try and answer, Ive rode for the last few years! :) No you do not need to be riding other trains at the time as long as you "fit" the qualifications posted at the beginning of the thread. Buddy are choosen by conductor usually through a random draw using Randomizer or something like that. 2013 Advent train can be found here: http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/369909-army-slammies-crazy-christmas-advent-package-train-canada/Quote:

scbpooh gave the link so no point repeating it
Fallen, where do you sign up for the card exchanges? In the past they have been stickies but couldn't see the Thanksgiving one. Would definitely like to sign up for the Christmas one.
Thinking about participating, but was wondering if anyone that has participated in the past could tell me approx how much I'd be looking to spend? Lots of people to buy for Xmas, so just want to make sure it fits in the budget :)
Would love to participate in the card one!
I will join the adult one "I have read and understand all the Package Train Rules/Guidelines" I understand if I do not follow the guidelines my name will be added to to the consequence list in the sticky”
not riding any trains at the moment
will send a wl later on in the week as I need to get one together
They did not request permission to run it or ask for it to be stickied, I didn't see it eitherQuote:

Thanks for answering my questions! I'm going to read through the 2013 thread to help me decide if I should join :)
