[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by fishwagon</i> <br /><br />I wish, wish, wish I didn't have $10,000 worth of titanium braces in my spine. <br /> <br />I have space for 300-375 feet of track. I'm retired. I know basic electricity. <br />I have 2 radial arm saws to cut my own ties & scale lumber. I have a mapp gas <br />welder & a 225amp electric welder, all kinds of hand tools, a small metal cutting lathe w/milling attachment, indicators, mics and a bunch of other goodies & I know how to use all of it. <br />I was a machinist for 28 years. I know how to survey & solve drainage problems & I am a 54 year HO model railroader. <br /> <br />I can do damn near everything concerning building a garden railroad except <br />bend over, stand on my feet more than 5 minutes, squat, get on my knees, <br />push a wheelbarrow & other things. So I make do with designing & building <br />a 14'8" X 18'8" indoor layout when my back allows it. <br /> <br />If I had umpteen million dollars, I'd find a surgeon who could/would fix my spine. <br /> <br />Then, gentlemen, I would build one hell of a garden railway. <br /> fishwagon <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />You don't have a son, grandson or nephew who can serve as an assistant?
