A walk down the jewelry making isle at the craft store has you looking at neckace chain, and estimating if it is diminutive enough to use as tie downs for your flat car loads.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

With summer carrying on in full swing, here is an opportunity to stimulate those creative juices.  We're all familiar with Jeff Foxworthy and his, "You might be a redneck if..." Routine.  Well, here's a chance to apply it to our wonderful hobby and poke a little fun at ourselves at the same time.

So, here goes.

You might be a model railroader if when you hear the word "couple," you think of two railroad cars joining together.

I'm sure everyone can do better than that.

Less is more,...more or less!
