Yeah, but ours isn't on wheels. I see an upgrade in our future.

Probably the easiest way to put restrooms on your train.....a few of these. Of course, you will have to stop once in a while. I wish this had been mentioned in that recent thread.

We have one that was recently donated. We call ours the "Blue Room".

Hmmm, standard gauge porta potty. Trouble is, in many places it'd need to be of the retention type to get registered!
Cheers, Bob
