"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Reason 13(b)(iii): Having had reasonable success at trying to corner the Fuji War Bonds market by nefarious fair means, I am now appalled that absolutely no one will accept them as legal tender or even as an exchange for a $5000+ brass steamer. Cheers, the Bear.
JaBear continues to to defame the good name of Fuji, knowing full well that it is Fiji that has issued War Bonds to finance it campaign against Tuvalu.
No wonder no one will accept his "war bonds" as legal tender.
Maybe Reason 13 why I hate this hobby should be JaBear's misleading replies to my well meaning forum posts.

Yes,that's my line every time I find tiny screws between the 6 axle trucks and fuel tank that's hard to get to..
That's my line when I'm down on all fours looking for a tiny part that ends up defying the law of gravity by landing 5 feet away from where it fell..

Rich, I can't think of a single reason to 'hate' this hobby. I can, however, think of several dozens of reason why I love it.

Are we talking real dust here or scale dust? I have plenty of real dust but have not been able to find any good scale dust anywhere in a long time.
russ_q4b I hate spending on average $500 a month on this hobby. What else could I do with $500 a month. Hmmmmmm.

You make it sound like a bad thing! A lot of folks here would just love to have $500 a month to spend on any hobby, myself included! Heck, we could manage a brass engine once in a while with that kind of money to play with!
cold stealThe world would be a better place if I could get a loco to run thru an atlas switch without stalling.
An SD45, SD40-2 or tunnel motor ought to do the trick!

This thread was started strictly in jest to counter the recent threads that find fault with the hobby.
You need to read between the lines to interpret my original post correctly.
I understood it all along, Rich, but wanted to post a firm statement and be lazy at the same time...I didn't wan't to have to think up of reasons why I hated the hobby because it would have been artificial and dishonest.
Okay, I admit it did come off sounding like I was a wet rag.....
Sowwy.
Reason Number 12.
AMEN!!!
Fight Back, Buy American By Americans.
Wilde Tool company, Hiawatha, Kansas.
The grump with dust on his merchandise, sounds like the grump in Witchita, Kansas.
Too, much trouble for him to get off rear and stop looking at porn on his in store computer, to look up a item in inventory, for a customer.
Being nice about it to his greatness.
No need to do business with such a retailer.

Reason #13 My skills aren't as good as all those other guys that post on here.
Reason #14 I procrastinate too much to even begin building a layout, therefore hampering the polishing of my skills.
That dust on those boxes have an added cost for a reason......pre-weathered models!
Luckily at the LHS that I used to visit back in PA, he had Athearn and Roundhouse rolling stock kits in the $6 to $8 range....and they were even clean.
