[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jeffers_mz</i> <br /><br />More than that, I have an engine my dad gave me, a certified antique, and better yet, the satisfaction of resolving the problems of age myself, putting a crusty old grinder back in service, and from all appearances, there to stay for a long time to come. <br /> <br />You decide. I have new engines that perform well, and old engines that I made perform well, and they both give me a lot of satisfaction and running pleasure. [/quote] <br /> <br />I agree... My daughter just got a new set for Christmas. I've had more fun getting my old TYCO & Mantua engines running again than operating the shiny new Santa Fe. She knows that "Dad can fix anything", but I think she's amazed that these old engines from my childhood are zipping around her track. <br /> <br />I have had an absolute ball looking up coupler conversion information, watching eBay for engines to cannibalize for parts and working on these old noisy engines that I "should throw away". <br />
