Re: Are we OK?

I know I am not right! I have a new section that is 9.5 feet X 5 feet add on bench in foam and some track. Reason I have not gotten farer along is due the fact I have to remove cars from the main bench on to the new section so I can run my main lines. But, yet I keep buying rolling stock? Started selling of some of the engines and car on E-bay to make room. What do I do with the money? Buy more rolling stock and engines?

 

 Lets not forget we know where they are going as well, but yet we still enjoy watching them?

 

                      Not right Cuda Ken again.

Face it. We ARE all nuts.

Where else could a forum thread with a title such as "Am I doing something wrong with my puffball forest?" be taken seriously!?! Big Smile [:D] Big Smile [:D] Big Smile [:D]

Re: Are we OK?

Yeah, it's starting to get real embarrasing going into Michael's or AC Moore's.  The young girls working there always look at me kind of funny - I almost expect the SWAT team to come busting in the front windows to run me out.

Re: Are we OK?

After 60 years of avoiding art I am now proudly going to Michaels, Hobby Lobby, United Art & Education. I now know the difference between raw umber and burnt sienna and the difference between a #0 brush and a #3 and proud of it!!! I am also carefully looking at sidewalks, streets, bridge construction and many other things I never noticed before. Model Railroading, the most mind expanding hobby!!!!!!

I consider myself quite sane. It's all of those other guys I see at train shows that are the loonies. Big Smile [:D]

Re: Are we OK?

Of course we are.  All those females standing outside the florists when I enter once a month thiinking, "Oh more flowers for his wife, isn't it Romantic?"  And then I come out with a bag full of used floral foam to take home to the Cuisinart and make more ground cover. 

Hey, we're all just FINE!

Re: Are we OK?

After seeing what the rest of you guys look like in MRR, I'm, beginning to doubt myself! At least it isn't dolls!

Re: Are we OK?

Are we OK?  Thats the main question?

There's no way we're OK.....are you nuts?  Oh wait, I guess that brings us back to the question, doesn't it?

A couple of nights ago, I cut the legs off of some seated figures to fit them into the benches of a trolley I'm working on.

Then I had to wonder, "What can I do with these legs?"

Use them to occupy the stalls in your rest room model.

At least one should be tapping his shoes.
