Hey Everybody Just thought I would post you on the latest appenings. A while back ago I had a bad day with my Bachmann CNW crane and later that night the string popped. So, I took it back to our local train store (Not really a train store, just a christmas store with a train department) called Christe's Christmas. The Train man at the time took it home and three days later, the manager called and said that It was fixed and asked If I would like a job in the train department. Naturally I accepted only I was 13. So I asked my dad, (A police officer) and he said that 13 year olds could work with written parental consent. I have worked Friday , monday, tuesday, and yesterday / wednesday (friday I went in for training) and had a blast. I got up early and drank coffe and watched the sun rise on the front porch until my mom came out and said It was time to go every morning. I operated the train display (O scale, level one, HO scale, level 2, and N, level 3, as well as the G-scale double track system that hung for the ceiling that ran above most of the store. When you where in the train department, a real a large shelf with banisters, or like a loft really, the G-scale setup was at your feet. I was having the time of my life with the HO set up. If there was a train set that the store didn't have out on display, I could open the set I wanted to run and when I was done, I would put it on an emptey display shelf. I also met alot of interesting people. There was this boy who couldn't have been more that eight years old who had a 4x8 layout with a CTC control system and ran three trains at one. He showed me pictures of his layout. He had another 4x8 on one side of his room and another on the oppisitte side connected with a small two track shelf. He had two passenger terminals, two engine servicing facilites, with one terminal and engine facility on one 4x8 and the same thing on the other, and much more. It was my dream job and I thouroly enjoyed it. But, The Labor Department contacted the owner Mr. Coob in Columbia, who contacted my boss who contacted me. They were very sorry to see me leave and they said they would keep the job open until I turned 14. They called this morning while I was planing my layout. Oh well. At least I will be able to get more trains with my last paycheck. Now all I can do is to sit around all day and brood over my loss [V][V][V][V][V] [banghead] [banghead]. I have a few words for the labor department even though I feel they were wise in their decision and doing what is best.
