You buy stuff you don't even want or like..........then your FD tells you to get rid of it, and then the cycle starts again. They say that that is a definition of insanity - doing the same thing and expecting a different result! Still, I guess Miss16 will get a good Marklin inheritance!

Friend of parents said 'last year it was Sweet Sixteen and never been kissed - this year its seventeen and we aren't so sure ...' She nearly killed him (she had had a boyfriend of sorts between the two birthdays).

Sold the aircraft, watched the models and now starting the planning of a 3 levels layout so I can run 4-5 visible trains and 6 invisible, all at the same time so there is lots of traffic and movement. Only one problem...I have no space for it

Just think how hungry you are going to be and how much lovely steaks with all the side dishes and the great puddings like Cream Brule, or Bell Helen, or... you can eat after 24h of fasting. Oh, and I even didn't tell you about the starters This is the latest model. I am very pleased the Mrs. much less, I think that she was a bit at me , so i just order another one without telling her

When she asks me why I needed another train I just say, for the same reason that you needed to buy more yoga clothes. She seems to understand then.

I just started with Marklin this year and N scale this year and think I got a little carried away with buying stuff. Mainly analog and M track in Marklin. Will take some pictures and try to post by the end of the week. Robert
