    Thomas T.T.E. Again

    I will say it again. I think things like Thomas, Polar Express and Hogwarts Express are going to save the model train industry in the long run and preserve the hobby. From what I've read model train sales were down across the board in the late 80s and early 90s and that now they have started...

    It's a shame that the harmless prank of yesterday is a felony today because of fear. No I never put anything on the rails. When we live in NJ when I was a kid my dad had a part time business he ran from our basement, gun smithing, he knew every local cop by first name. All of them had his...

    Howto post pics from the gallery

    I'd say Linux is the villain. There is a lot of stuff out there that doesn't work with Linux unless you know how to go in and modify Linux to work with it (son has a degree in puters, I'm not that smart!). Rick
