This week, my AOTW is a 3 leveled H0 scale display case I got at a train show yesterday for $40.

It's a nice case, but I mostly wanted to comment that you've done a tasteful job of arranging the trains you have on display. It' pleasing to the eye.

For one thing, thank you. Another thing, the reason why they're so nicely laid out is because I kinda have a bit a obsessive compulsive disorder due to the fact that it kinda runs in my family. It definitely turned nice, I have to admit to myself.

Yeah, I'm not that sure what makes it a disorder to begin with.

I've known people who have OCD, who would spend hours rearranging pens and pencils on their desks so they're lined up. Nothing productive, but it looked nice. LOL! Me, the only compulsion I have is CTD (collecting trains disorder). LOL. Organizing is far from my talents, although I seem to have a talent for organizing OTHER people's stuff, just not my own. I LIKE having my stuff organized, it's the KEEPING part that is hard for me. Anyway, nice display and picture.

My wife who works with special needs children say I have a very small percentage of OCD which isn't a bad thing. I wash my hands 100 times a day, organized the counter when I'm ringing out of a store... and have a perfection need especially when I'm working on cars...
I'm told a serious case of OCD is unpleasant for the person....

I have CDO. It's like OCD, except the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be!
And that is a nice case!

The 42nd Annual El Paso Model Train Club is in full swing. This crane and industrial
unit (what is it???) was built by one of our newer members, who prefers not to be named.
I guess the posse is out looking for him.

My just-delivered Tycoscene accessory is my post for this week. $20 through an Ebay BIN, in the box with the manual. Box has one corner tattered, but overall, for a 40-year? old product, it's in remarkable shape. The Tycoscene board itself is mint, never been used that I can see. VERY happy with this purchase. I wouldn't mind setting it up at a module show one day just to display it. Maybe I"ll do some Tyco modules, just for those acessories...anyway. Here's the pictures.
