I lost the momentum for a quite a while but I finally got it back.
Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes is Right
No, I'm not changing the topic of this blog. It's just that the theme of chapter 3 is that there is a time for everything, a time to laugh and a time to cry, a time for peace and a time for war, etc. I knew that I was eventually going to have to put... Continue Reading →
That Was a Really Long “Week”
Remember how I signed off my last post with "See you next weekend"?. I guess I won't be that precise in the future. A lot of thinking and shopping (not buying) for power went on after my last post. I went back and forth on whether I was going to use battery power (pure DC)... Continue Reading →
I’ve Reached The End Of The Tunnel!
Four months ago I finished opening all my boxes, expecting to jump right into the hobby. Well, if you've been following, you know that I discovered some unfinished wiring work under the table. Having to do it under a low table with the top on has been a long slow process. Well, today I finally... Continue Reading →

Box #8

I have to say, the... Continue Reading →

Box #6
November 3, 2021 This box was mostly ancient pre-internet mail order catalogs along with catalogs that were printed out from webistes because that's all they were, just catalogs. You still had to mail the order in. Also miscellaneous receipts from 25+ years ago. https://youtu.be/FtnJfwFTJ5U
Box #5
November 2, 2021 NOW we’re talkin’. The cars and bodies are where the fun is. Some of those cars go back 40 years. A couple of them go back 60 years. Miscellaneous landscaping magazines, HO related magazines and a rare AFX handbook. Some packaging for cars that I haven’t gotten rid of yet and some... Continue Reading →
