    few more - that's about all for now.

    Yes, I get the Big Boy comment. one is in for servicing and rewiring ... I have all the track work complete, and most of the wiring done for the track, Still have to do turnouts. Turntable and engine shed still needs work. Eventually sound and lights will be wired up, and to finish it - all the telephone polls will be fully wired up.... that is a huge pain!!! I figure I have to "plant" about 450 trees... and weather up about 15 more buildings. I work slow - 20 min here hour or two on the weekends here and there.

    Not to go off topic but your picture in this thread with the watch. The watch looks like an older Huer chronograph. I have one like that with a stainless band. Great old watch that nobody knows about!!

    I can't believe this is on a Ferrari forum. Any way I love trains also, mostly steam. I built a fully functional fully detailed live steam model in 1990, it took me 3 years 1"=1' 1/12 scale. It is a B&O pacific 4-6-2 president class # 5316 President Grant, in dark blue. My young son at the time and I rode it all around the club tracks. Then he grew up and I parked it. (he is 30 years old now).But he has 2 boys and one on the way, 3yrs, 1 1/2, and one due in Jan.12. So we will be steaming it up again. I also have HO in boxes and I put my 1954 Lionel around the X mas tree every year. I retire next year, and I hope I have the time for my 87 TR, and 2) 32 Ford hot rods. I guess it goes along with people on this forum into anything mechanical..

    PS. I will try to dig up a photo
