A retread. I can't stand seeing this post go unattended for so long. Anyways,
some decades ago (I blinked and twenty years had passed) I had this
model train nut over to my hut, and we were spinning some of his plastic.
I noted that they all tended to be one color or another. I asked him the
standard, "do you model a specific road, prototype, etc?" question, and
was a little surprised when he replied, "not really, I like to collect certain
colors and run them together." Little did I know that the foundations for
my own slippery slope were being laid. That little thought just kept tweaking
at me for years and years, and after ending up with a half dozen, then a dozen,
Penn Central box cars, and then a few Jello cars, later, well, the rest is
Tyco history. And I run my stuff too. I don't keep any wall queens around.
It works, it gets fixed, or out the door it goes. Here a massive Jello train
groans its way around the El Paso Model Train Club's get up. The little
tanker I just patched on the end, just for my sheer amusement. It was
a gift from TF master model man WKS. Which, in its turn, has led to a
new string of cars...chrome Shell tankers. Only got three right now...
