I think a nice large scale model railroad would be sweet, don't you? This would be one loco I would definitely want!

OK, first it was a bunch of gun questions... . now ya' got a couple o' train threads. You've got a diesel. How 'bout ya' getting a nice quiet hobby... . like STAMP collecting :-laf :-laf

Seriously- How ya' doing, Nick.

It would be neet to have RR trains like this, but it may take more than an addition. Might need to talk to a real estate agent for this hobby!

Keep up the posts Nick, this place gets too quiet without ya

Anymore . 50 BMG info? Oo.



When I was a kid I had a neighbor that had one of those small tracks in his yard. The track was about 16" wide. I never saw him run anything on it but he had two engines that he used to take to the club. One was a live steam replica of the Disney train and the other had a 10 HP Techumseh.



He was a retired machinist and had a little foundry in his back yard that he would use to cast aluminum wheels and parts.

You know I have so many hobbies its pathetic. Worst part is some of them are very expensive.



Here is a list:



*Archery (target shooting, have a Hoyt Raptor single cam)

*Guns/shooting (few guns, want a BMG 50)

*Rock climbing (on occasion, some gear)

*Mountaineering (on occasion, some gear)

*Skiing (downhill but kinda got out of it)

*Diesels (BOMBing my truck, learning about diesels)

*Flying/helicopters/jets/all other airplanes (working on private fixed license)

*Trains (trainspotting, reading)

*Jet engines (built one from a Holset HT3B, love learning about them)

*Quantam mechanics/time travel (reading and learning, no time machine yet)

*Camping (few tents)



I think thats it! But my favorite not on the list is the TDR
