    Is this dumb or what?

    After my job took Me to Barrow- In - Furness England for 2 long years I can see why. They were bored to death and ran out of money trying to get drunk. The weather there is so bad they would have died of frostbite before they got their underwear off...... Notice how the only people who strip...

    Layout Update

    $10k seems too high for material for a basement. I spent less when I gutted my kitchen and dining room built all new cabinets and laid a maple HW floor. You might take a look again...I am not disputing your figures but coming from someone who gutted his entire house room by room and used the...

    My living room

    Stephen Nice Job, I wanted to do the same but my wife did not like the idea.....now instead of going around a room; it takes up a whole room. At what height do you have it?

    Stop Me before I Mess Up Again

    My Layout has grown little by little but I think I have maxed out unless I get divorced. It is an L shape Pattern with the sections being 6x8 & 4x8. I am using mainly American Flyer track & Switches with the rubber roadbed. I have some New K line track which is similiar and works with the...
