I was in our local discount hobby store two weekends ago looking for N scale risers for my HO/N coffee table layout. I was standing in the aisle when this older couple walked by and I noticed him looking at model car kits. He walked up to me and asked if I was interested in model trains. I replied yes. He said he had a bunch of N scale stuff he would give me if I was interested. I said YES!!!!:-D He stated that he also had some HO but that he would probably keep that for his grandkids.
I called him up a few days later and drove out to his place. He gave me a box of N scale engines, cars, track, and stuff. He also gave me a box of HO with 2 engines, cars, track, and stuff PLUS a 4x8 sheet of plywood with the starting of an N layout. Talk about being pumped when I left. :-D:-D:-D:-D
It does happen........................
