    Winter Has Officially Arrived...

    I feel for ya TrainNut. As inconvenient as all this snow gets sometimes, there just ain't no way I'm tradin' a White Christmas for anything! I've spent Christmas in many places around the world... some of them in the desert, and that just ain't right to a Canadian who's used to a solid four to...

    Winter Has Officially Arrived...

    Yeah, we haven't really had a good snowfall like this for awhile, for most of the kids around here, this is the first time they've had a Snow Day. If we get more, and it looks like we will, I'll be doin' the rounds and shovelling not just my driveway, but those of some of the other folks around...

    How many of you have done this???

    Hey guys, you want your girlfriends, or wives to be interested in model railroading? Here's what I did. At first, my girlfriend thought that "Toy Trains" were just that, for children only...then one day the blender broke. Never one to pass up an opportunity, I waited for her to go out, then...

    Lookin' fer ideas...

    Yup...that was my thinking. I've never bought any of the used stuff, but I figured for geocaching purposes, a few bucks on some cheap rolling stock wouldn't hurt. Who knows, maybe someone will find something they like, and take the time to fix it up further to their own liking.

    I could go to my LHS and pick up a few used passenger and freight cars, as they buy used equipment from their customers, clean it up, and resell it at a decent price. Not a bad idea.:thumb:

    Lookin' fer ideas...

    I've got an Atlas Passenger Staion Kit I could include, since I model in N Scale, and the box isn't too big. My brother and I actually have a cache in our front yard, and we've met a number of fellow 'cachers who come to find it. I hope you do get into geocaching, as you get to go to places...

    Hey Russ, Good idea with the model railroading book, I've got a few I could include. Can't use the flyers or catalogues though, since commercial material is not allowed.

    Hey MasonJar, yes, the contents are for cachers to keep, if they want to. The idea is that once you find the cache, you can take somthing, as long as you also leave something behind in trade, as to the durability of the contents, generally, as long as the container is weather-proof, such as a...
