I have a friend that for medical reasons needs to sell his collection of trains. He doesn't want to put them on "the" auction site as he says he won't get anything for them. Knowing him, as I do, they're probably in fantastic condition. PM me if you would like his contact info.

I don't have any room left, most of my trains are packed and under the train table. I would like to see if there might be a couple that I would like. I do switch trains every once in a while.

Post didn't go thru so I will try again....Very cool set up thefile. Your hobby inspired me to go to our local historic train depot today.
Wow! Have been here almost 20 years and had never stopped in to see the free display. These guys definitely are in to their passion and hobby as evidenced by their work. They had 5 different large set ups of surrounding towns...Wow! Details were excellent right down to sound effects and cameras on two of the engines that you could watch on a tv screen as they traveled along....I had a great time...thank you! Don't let RR's small cowboys hold you up though. :lol: get the Henry out... :D

BTW..would be interesting if you care to, to go to the " User Name " thread. Some are pretty self explanatory, others are not. Yours opens food for thought.

Another one of my hobbies is my stereo, I have been an audiophile for many years. I had a CD Player that you were able to program the title of the CD, I wanted to program Thephile for one test disc but you were only able to use 7 letters so that is how I came up with Thefile.

Real nice. I like the detail. It that a car/pedestrian accident in there?

When I was a kid I'd lay on the carpet at the end of a section of straight track and watch the train coming head on. I got too close once and got punched in the nose by the locomotive. Smarted and saw tears on that one.
