I am sure all your books are gone by now. It sure is a nice way to be to others as we need more people in the world like you!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

Ed, thanks for the welcome. Due to other obligations in life: work, marriage, child, etc. my starter set had been sitting in the basement for 20+ years. This year I took it out just to see if my 3 year would be interested. He was AND he's not heavy handed too. He can set rolling stock on tracks w/o my help and has a finer throttle hand then I do!

Because of this I decided to get back in 110%. I've already dropped $500 to get us going. Had DC for about a week and returned it for DCC thinking long term. Can't wait unitl the Springfield, MA show!

Why does that sound familiar??? I know, that was me a year and change ago. Welcome to the SOHCWDLB (Society of Hollow Core Wood Door Layout Builders). Good choice going with Normal Scale. [:D]
