I voted to go to a restaurant. You could buy a nice meal for two with a good bottle of wine in N.S.W. Australia with $100 U.S.!!!! However, in all seriousness, I would have tried to find the owner of the money by first contacting my local police station to enquire if anyone had reported losing a $100 bill. Maybe I'm too honest (or too stupid). There was no box choice to select this action. If there had been, I'm sure many Model Railroader fans would have voted this way.

I voted for buying tools, then I could use them to build or modify much of what I need.

Hey All,
I voted for rolling stock. It would be me last. I try my best to be a blessing first to others. Take the wife and kids out for a treat or bless the kids in the neighborhood with a treat etc. "Give and it shall be given unto you...". Fun to think about. Later eh...Brian.

If I were into sparkin, the 2-6-0 Mogul looks right up my alley.

Of course most of you already know that the terms 2-6-0 & Mogul are interchangeble since 2-6-0 is what the term "Mogul" means.

Definitely on a nice meal out! My wife works all day in a full-time job and comes home and never complains about cooking. She supports my hobbie(s), big time, as I do hers.

But really, this is a tough question. A hundred bucks isn't a lot of money (for most of us). If we lost $100 we wouldn't starve or get kicked out of our homes, however, there are certainly needy people that $100 could buy a lot of turkey with fixin's. Yeah, I think I'd donate the money to feed some needy family. Then I'd reach into MY pocket for another $100 and take my wife out to dinner!

Boy, that felt good!

I voted for gardening plants as it would go a long way and be a pleasure for all to see to see as they mature and enhance the GR shortline. 8-)
