Didn't want to hijack F6.  

I spent the afternoon cleaning up my N scale stand off scale railroad and changing to Christmas cars. The two flat cars are full of 'jingle bells'  The cars are pulled by an exact scale Norfolk and Southern engine just like the ones I see two blocks from my apt.
The steam engine is an exact scale of 765 which is a restored steamer only 4 miles from my apt.
The two fire dept cars are close to the tree where I'm going to glue a pin size cat with firemen getting out the ladder for rescue. A Dalmatian is included. I'll wait until my patience comes back!

For those not knowing N scale is the measurement of the distance that the rails are set apart.  N stands for Nine millimeter, .355 inches, that's small.

Here is 765 showing the detail of the n scale.  The engine has a bell, sound (air pump, whistle, chuff)

I had really cool HO trains as a kid. Loved them but never had the layout I wanted. These are my adult toys now.


I just purchased another Valk Tourer which is in transit from back East. Some people hoard cats. I have my issues as well.

Motorcycles are NOT toys............................They are attitude adjusters., plain and simple. Smiley

If I'm in a bad attitude I can look at my 'toys' and not change anything.  However, when I rode it was different.
The same goes for my Miata, only it's not quite as strong as an attitude adjuster.

I would think it would be rather expensive to have three attitude adjusters.  You must have lots of dough or a really bad attitude.
