It is not like your normal home I guess

When my wife wanted to go shopping in downtown Stuttgart, I would make a beeline for the LGB store. Then I'd spend an hour or so drooling over the beautiful steam engines. Like this: http://tinyurl.com/jqzhk4d
But I couldn't rationalize the thousand, or much more, Euros to buy them.

On man!

My train isn't anything special. It is Aristo narrow gauge.
Judy bought it for Christmas with no idea what we would do after we
took the tree down.
The answer turned out to buy another 100 feet of track and hang it on
the wall. I did enjoy building that trestle tho. I can hang from it.
It was a table saw trick and a little geometry.

Maybe Harry is right, I should get a job ;-)

I've gotten each family the LGB Christmas train a few years back. The trains get put
around the trees each year, but I can't seem to get the grandkids interested in
electric trains. My brother left a closet full of 'n' gauge railroad stuff which I
could get for them, but computer or ipad or smartphone games are more interesting.
