Captain Carrales: I have 1 grandson who maybe would help me. My 4 sons & 1 daughter have all said no. <br /> <br />I probably should have given more info about my health problems in my 1st post. <br /> <br />From February, 1997 to August, 2001, I had surgery 6 times; both hands, both arms <br />and twice on my spine. I'm pushing 69 years. I can't rely on my grandson to help <br />when I need him. I was 15 a long time ago & I kinda remember how I felt when some girl crooked her index finger my way. <br /> <br />If my health improves in the next 2 years as it did this past year, I will consider some <br />klnd of outdoor railway. It won't be 300 feet long. More like 80 or 90 feet point to point set in the midwest [(where I reside) (Ohio)] and will follow the natural slopes of my <br />lawn. The only plants will be natural grass & weeds and there won't be a creek. <br />Durn it!!!!!!!! I'll cut my own ties, build 6 foot sections of track and fabricate the switches. Thanx for the post & willingness to help me find a way. <br /> <br />The Big 4 Route of the NYC RR ran through my hometown a long time ago. There <br />wasn't much passenger traffic so the NYC operated a Doodlebug for passeengers <br />and local freight.. A local market ordered a barrell of salted fish every week. This <br />fish was delivered by the Doodlebug, only it wasn't called a Doodlebug. It was <br />called the Fishwagon by all the local people. <br /> fishwagon
