    Christmas card from the track gang...

    ...that works the Manayunk rails. They'd been out to see the dress rehearsal of Washington's Christmas crossing of the Delaware River just south of New Hope, Pennsylvania. A shot of a steam train on the move while stuck in the middle of the track seemed a good idea? We're going back...

    newbees, ask before u buy

    I did the same thing once and... ...pulled them off the cars I'd started- 3 or 4. I managed not to mangle the packaging and slipped them back in and took them back where I got 'em.

    John Hopper or Thomas? The Polish people, of which I am proudly descended from invented the toilet seat when they first became Polish. It was very popular. A rage as a matter of fact- so I heard. Many millennia later a hole wore through and so the seat you have today... Ah, the stuff they...

    Major yard as theme of layout?

    Having a yard is... ...better than not. As much as I don't want a yard to dominate a model RR I do like the action in the yard. It's the natural extension of running the trains. Gotta put 'em somewhere and they gotta be shaken and stirred so they can get on their way and do stuff. I just...
