But what is bringing me back now is the memories of spending an entire afternoon watching the train run around its figure-8 oval for hours on end (actually, it was a raised fig-8, with a bridge so the train passed over the lower track), and going to other family member's houses, and seeing their trains during the holidays. <br /> <br />Though the box of old MR magazines falling on me might've done something about it too.....

When I was in college My model railroading slowed to a tricle In the 4 years I I went to school I got three projects done in that time. (However managed to start like another 7) However I keep plugging away. And something always seems on the verge of materialization. Im hoping that if I am patient eneugh it will. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by selector</i> <br /><br />Saddle-making....now THERE'S a dying hobby! Who makes saddles, anyway? No one rides horses any more...do they?[/quote] <br /> <br />Well all the cattle ranchers would be glad to know their primary means of conveyance have suddenly become obsolete. Anyone else know how to herd cattle effectivly on a long cattle drive. I have seen ATVs used effectivly. But they alas have limited range.
