Darn! I just shipped two boxes of stuff to someone with an alias of Ben, in Scottsbluff, NE, who promised me a winning lottery ticket number in exchange for oodles of Tyco stuff. I think I've been Enroned, er, Fannie Mae'd, eh, Tyco'ed!

Or as he's known to his underworld buddies, "Ben 'Stickyfingers.'"
So Walt, since I don't collect Tyco, does this mean I'm safe?

Mine are under guard, I have 4 attack cats, any time you put food down, they attack it! LOL! Uh, forget I said anything about distracting my guard cats with food.... They'd give you a permanent layover if anyone touches my trains...well, the stuff falling on top of you would, as my collection is stacked all over. I'm not sure if I could tell if any were missing, hope my wife hasn't been selling them on Ebay! She's been buying quite a few trinkets herself lately....hmm...

 I've seen those rides at train shows in front of the actual building where they have the layouts and dealers.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."
