KNOWING your nuts about a hobby.
Posted by Marty Cozad on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 8:55 PM
FINALLY!!!!
I was driving home from work and a I pasted a train that had some shiny new cars.


Then on the way to work I drove by the elevator and low and behold , in number order still!!!! Sitting on the siding waiting to be loaded.

The only thing is those dang little parts on the bottom are hitting sticks and falling off all ready.The USAT parts box keeps getting larger.[:(]

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Looks great Marty, maybe it's time to construct a track vacum to follow new cars to pick up detail parts for reinstallation on a rainy or cold day.[:D]

There's a fine line between being a fan, and being nuts.

A local hobby store has a sign outside that says: "Still cheaper than therapy!"

Marty,

It's great to see that North Table Creek Grain Service is doing well enough to buy some new rolling stock.

I thought eccentrics was something steam engines had. But it does seem Marty is all steamed up about the hobby so if figures.

Well kids, this has been along time in coming.
I'm very happy to have a logo and name that is somewhat beleiveable.
If we ever move it will hopfully still stick.
Whats funny is folks remember symbols more than names and locations. And even colors help..
Here again ,no matter the size or the $$ factor of your GRR. You can still come up with a name and /or logo and creat a beleivable place to,,,,play.
I think it was my 4th year in the hobby that I came up with the name. but only last year did I find a symbol that really identified the RR.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
