Totally off topic! A passion of mine train show!
« on: February 22, 2013, 03:35:40 pm »
To All,

Tomorrow morning early, I shall be off at a train show in the Philadelphia area. For my hobby of collecting trains......I have to be away from this fear of twitchiness for a while. I'll let you know how the day goes. Happy weekend all! Perhaps I'll make a few purchases....I know I'll have fun!!!

Folks,


Sometimes, if you let your passion lead you can forget yourself for a bit. What was that commercial......? Try it, you'll like it!

Engage your passion!

Wow!

Where do you live that you have the space to collect trains on your property?

I collect cars and had to buy an acre where I built a building big enough to hold them.

Just kidding.

Model trains, right?

Toot! Toot!

I was a model train enthusiast when I was younger and still get the itch occasionally.

But my cars (actual size) take up all my space.

3/15/18 12mm x 6mm x5mm
9/21/16 12mm x 7mm x 5mm
3/23/15 12mm x 5.5mm x 4mm
3/13/14 12mm x 6mm x 4mm
8/1/13 14mm x 5mm x 4mm (Expected)
1/22/13 12mm x 3mm (Gamma Knife)
10/10/12 11mm x 4mm x 5mm
4/4/12 9mm x 4mm x 3mm (Diagnosis)

Dear Jack,

Yes, I had a ball at Allentown (even though the factories ARE closed down) I bought 5 Christmas Houses in order to put them on the large 3 level layout that I construct every Christmas season at a local nursing home for the community.

I was very happy to go with 3  friends who are also train geeks!

We are very fortunate to have hobbies where we can distract ourselves!

My family and I are enjoying the little golden man awards tonight!

Prediction: Some actors will win most actors will lose! It truly doesn't matter who wins and who loses! What matters is that they got a chance!
