I prefer my coaches lightly browned. Dead [xx(]

I like how the people on the opposite side of the coach are still politely chatting. Laugh [(-D]

And people say I take myself too seriously.  Sheesh.  If there's no place for humor in model railroading, then there's no point in being involved with model railroading.

I don't come to this forum to have to wade through useless postings of eBay threads. I come here to learn about the hobby and find new tricks or techniques to use in the construction of my layout. Unfortunately, that is getting harder to do lately....

So are you trying to say that a one penny opening bid is asking too much? Shouldn't you be working on your layout instead of combing eBay trying to find auctions similar to the one you posted so you can ridicule the seller? I'm amazed at how many times these auctions are featured on this forum.....what business is it of yours if he's trying to sell that burned up hulk of a car? If the owner wants to sell it, that's his business. If he finds a buyer for it, all the better....but why concern yourself with his business??? Rant off for now....SoapBox [soapbox]

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.
