Selector, I've always got em mixed up bro...
By the way, you want to barrow the movie?.
...it's soldering DCC decoders.
Or, the lack of PRR steam in N!

That absolutely PERFECT 36" radius curve I spent hours and hour and HOURS getting just right suddenly letting go in the middle during a heat wave and derailing my very expensive brass Rio Grande F-81 2-10-2. I just HATE that! Flex-track, SCHMECKS-track!

After reading the views on the word "hate", I'll just say there is something I dislike.
I dislike the learning curves on all the technology stuff that becomes outdated as soon as I've learned to use it.
GARRY
HEARTLAND DIVISION, CB&Q RR
EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
***Nelson, it doesn't matter what kind of floor you have, some parts are destined to dissapear forever, or at least until you have somehow managed to replaced then. Trust me on this, last month lost one of those pins that holds the primary gear in place in a truck. I know my eyesight isn't what it once was, but this was on a laminate tile floor in the new studio.
[Removed hatred portion... we shouldn't be dragging people through the mud here. - Bergie]
Don't worry...be happy! -Rob
(revenge is a dish best served cold)
I dislike suicidal engines, you know ones that decide to jump for the floor. Just a couple days ago I had an Atlas GP7 decide enough was enough and jump, thankfully it landed on a nice soft chair so there was only dammage to the hanrails.
Cheers!

...it's nit-pickers!!
You know the kind -- you're showing off a newly-completed building or locomotive on your layout and some joker completely overlooks the craftsmanship and says, "you have one too many grab irons for this diesel," or "this railing ornamentation just wasn't found in this era."
What happened to just appreciating the results of your hard work? What about just rising above the pencil-neck mentality and enjoy something aesthetic for a change?
Gee Whiz!

Bear "It's all about having fun."
Finally making up my mind that I do not need another engine.
Then opening up MTH's Rail1King 2007 catalog and seeing that they are coming out with a GG-1 and PA-1.
There goes my resolve.
OH YES I will need newer passenger cars to go along with them.
After thinking about it, Santa Fe did not run GG-1s. You know what that means.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
This is a "Murphy's Law" Dislike....
Spend a lot of time and effort kitbashing a specific car to match a prototype. "They'll never produce one of these", I thought. A month or two later MR arrives; I look at the ads; and .............yep, you guessed it........... one has become available............ they did produce it.......I hate (sorry) it when that happens..........
Finish this sentence...If there's one thing I hate.....
.... un-patriotic people. Second only to that would be intollerant people. Join the Fight to help stamp out intollerance! :)

Along those lines......your sister-in-law pops in just as you finished up the Walthers Gas Storage Tank, having struggled to get it concentric and not break any plastic supports, painted it to look just like the one that used to stand on the north side of town, and your wife says, "show her what you just finished," and she looks at it and says, "oh....isn't that cute." I hat....er, immensely dislike when that happens.

I was just funnin'!
...it's, as others have also said, the use of the word "cute" to describe our endeavors!
Nothing like grinding, sanding, filling, drilling, patching, glueing, wiring, soldering, painting, decalling, and pouring over four books' worth of photos to cobble a Pennsy H10sa from three different N scale steamers to show the wife proudly, after weeks of work, and have her reply:
"Cute!"
Hmph. I bet no one told the machinists in Altoona's Juniata Shops that their H10sa was cute.
Because I'm in N scale, everything's twice as "cute."
Deep down, though, I know it's a compliment. I'll take "cute!" over that raised eyebrow and pursed-lip look any day!
I understand what you are saying, Dave. Cute is two strokes away from a brush-off in my vocabulary, but far worse is, "That's..........nice."
Or, how about, "Hey, I know a guy whose whole basement is this fantastic railroad and.....yada, yada."
..its when women dont know what they want.
..or better yet, when they know what they want... know its YOU, TELL you that youre everything they ever wanted, but then say "im not ready for a relationship."
