...it's great when you've been in the hobby long enough that you can put together a layout with the perfect conditions for rolling stock to reproduce...
An online friend sold me a locomotive, only to miss a flaw that can easily be overlooked in N scale. Upon learning his error, he went above and beyond what was necessary to fix it, sending me the N scale diesel switcher and a kit for a cottage as a token of good faith.
Thanks buddy...little did you know at the time that the diesel switcher has as many fond memories for me in N scale as the 0-4-0.
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.---Proverbs 22:1
---If you decide to make thrills your regular diet and try to prolong them artificially, they will all get weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer, and you will be a bored, disillusioned person for the rest of your life. It is because so few people understand this that you find many middle-aged men and women maundering about their lost youth, at the very age when new horizons ought to be appearing and new doors opening all round them.---C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
I see so many newcomers to this hobby blow in and burn a wad of money on model trains, only to lose interest and try to sell off what they bought 6 months later, expecting full or near full retail.
Christ promises food and raiment sufficient for the day, everything else is cake. Don't be the next Bozo with a dust covered "Plywood Pacific Railroad" in your basement and a wife you haven't taken out and wooed in over a year...make sure your house is in order, with the Blood of The Lamb on its doorposts and lentil, before you try to build a layout in it.
