    Misery Loves Company

    It would appear that the smaller LHS's in smaller cities can't make a living off ONLY model railroaders . They need RC vehicles and rockets , 1/24 car kits etc. which limits the mrring stuff they can afford to carry . Supply and demand I guess . If I travel to an LHS other than my one local one...

    Other RR Forum

    Stanley's coming home...

    Now we know how they felt down south when the Jays won the Series '92 & '93 . Who would have imagined the Stanley residing in Tampa ? They played well .

    Orangeville Station burns

    I was very saddened to hear the news of the fire in Orangeville . I lived in that general area from 1969- 1988 and passed through the town many times . Restoring and/or repairing a structure of that vintage will be costly and time consuming . Lets all hope and pray that the station is not razed...
