Yet Another Module

[Russ Bellinis]

The Boley low boys are not that great out of the package, but you ought to see the model that Eli bashed from a Boley low boy and a Peterbilt tractor. It is on display in the glass case at Hobby Warehouse in the train dept.

I dont think there is anybody on here who would dissagree with me when I say in the MRRing dept. you have to be one of the luckiest people on the Guage! I take it Chhristmas money is helping out alot with those HUGE purchases. I cant belive the lumber yard pays that good, or I might be getting a new job soon.:mrgreen: Unless that is you finally have your priorities in line and are spending your entire paychecks on trains.

I know the feeling, I really loaded the bank with my work over the summer, but knowing how much I had in there, I needed to start spending it on trains:mrgreen:, even though Im supposed to be saving up for my truck!wall1 Well at least the school year is more than half over and I can get back to work, and I did keep enough in the bank for the truck Im looking at.
