Apparently I brought a smile to a few faces when I mentioned the
Wather's catalog.
And I got a few inquiries as to whether or not I was into model
railroading.
As I pointed out, I'm a "recovering" model railroader. I used to be very
involved,
but after a 2nd wife, a house and kids, I sort of gave it up. Recently I
got back
into it in a small way. I figured, "Well, it's just one caboose" I think
I'll be ok.
Of course, it's a 1-1/2" scale caboose and I have only 25' or so of
track for it.
I'm terrible with names, so bear with me here. I see there are a few of you
out there that still "play with trains" a couple of extensive HO gauge
set ups,
and one in particular sticks in my mind, the guy with the switch and
signaling
gear that apparently is playing in the 12" to the foot scale. ;-)
And I thought *I* had too much stuff.
Once I get moved and settled in out int he country, I'll have to lay some
track between the house and the shop so I can (using the teletype of course)
send in an order for food and such and run a short "extra" up to the
house and
back to retrieve my goodies.
