Dear Trains.com Bretheren, I have a small 4x4 table that I am already bored with. After seeing my engines being run on the Grand StrandModel Railroad Club's layout, I realized that my small onwe would not do. So I study the measurments of my room today and went into the kitchen. My mom has always liked trains and she suggested measuring the blue rug that we have on top of our white carpet. So I did and came up with the measurment of 8"10x6"5. So I improvised to 9x6. My mom thought It was great and decided that she would like to help build it. When my dad walked in from outside, I tiold him what I wanted the table to be. His reaction was not what I expected. Instead of supprting me and being a good father, he just raised his voice and said "THAT IS UGE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW." Then my mom cut in and said "Dear it is just 9x6 feet, that would fit in our unused 10x10 geust room. I think its a great idea". Then My dad said, HES JUST 13, HE CAN'T DO IT. ITS SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE DONE THAT WILL ROT AWAY WHEN HE GETS BORED WITH IT LIKE HE DID WITH HIS SMALL ONE.[V][V][V][V] Well I think he is wrong. That will leave an emotional scar behined with me for years. I don't think of my father liked I used to before that unnesscesary outburst. He just dosen't belive in me. He is not a train person and thinks that trains are dead boring and is trying his best to get me away from trains.[V][V][V][V] I belive I can do it, so does the following people I asked. My mother, my grandmother, my aunt, my uncle, my sister, my great grandmother, my grandfather (Mom side) , my grandmother (Mom side), my aunt (Mom side), my uncle (Mom side), my grandfathers friend and my fellow train nut Mr, Richard and his wife, Mrs. Audrey. So lend your support, do you think I can do it.[V][V][V][V] Signed, Nicholas
