The wife decided to be nice to me, and since we didn't have to be at the Hot Air balloonfest early, I wanted to hit the local antique mall in Gordonsville, near Intercourse, PA.Long story short ( I'm using my wife's ntebook, so only have limited bandwidth ) I found some good Tyco rolling stock, and 3 different Tyco GG1's. I bought the New Haven for $35, the other two were also that price, a silver Pennsy, and a black PRR. Never seen a black one before. Anyway, also found some Playart rolling stock,several in orginal boxes. All reasonably priced, from 6 to 10 dollars apiece. I would up spending $75 on train stuff. Also found some Trains magagzines from the '50's and '60's, several had articles on stuff I aim interested, the Klause-Maffie German Diesels, and the GG1 (17 pages ) and also some on the UA Turbo train. All in all, a worthwhile stop, I didn't even go into any of the other stores in that antique strip mall. I'll have to go back to that one again, with more money.  Overall a good morning, now to tough it out at the balloonfest and help the wife out til 9 pm, then break-down and pack up her crafts. Yay!  Well, time to get off of this Netbook, thought I'd give an on-the-fly update from the Strasburg Railroad area of PA while I had a chance. All for now,

Thats fun when train stuff pops up like that. Glad the wife is a sport when it comes to your hobby.

I don't understand what you're saying. The school rule is I before E, you said it backwards. The E is BEFORE I in K-M. Whatever.

"...except after c" which is the rest of it.
CVT, are you just looking to find reasons to post?
