It cost me more money to fix the Menard's box-car coupler then the car cost. They are for the most part very cheaply made. Now your 220 grit is a very bad idea. Use a Scotch-brite green pad and plenty of elbow grease. The problem with the paper is it will put some divots in the track and you will start to get arc-welding between the power pick up and metal wheels on the trains. This caused more pits in the train and the track as the train is running. If you have any switches in working order those are what you want to do your best and clean up as they are expensive now. The trains are expensive as most hobbies are now. My wife is into scrapbooking big time and the cost is not cheap. Of course she has been doing it for years and slowly brought new punches etc.... My brothers and I had an extensive collection when we were young and made big Christmas displays too. We would always got the comments must of cost you a fortune. We mowed lawns and shoveled the snow for money. We were lucky as neighbors wanted us to do side jobs for them for $. People saw the layouts and thought we brought it all at one time. Nope! Three of spending over time. I will say we learned a lot tinkering with the train hobby. Peace

The Fasttrak is rigid but they do make a transition piece to O gauge track ( not O-27 track ) if you need it. The O-gauge track can be cut with a hack saw if need be.

Not even close! Buy some and use it for a little while. The frickin plating rubs off and rust really easily. Trust me on this one. I know Menard's very well . Tonight they will take some more of my money. I need magnetic catches for cabinet and Menard's has them in stock and Home Depot which is half the distance is only online for little parts for the most part.

New Lionel catalog just came out if you want to see $$$$ prices ? And people think musical stuff is expensive!

Lionel in the 50's and into the early 60's was top toy company by sales in USA. So there were plenty trains made. Most were run of the mill. Just a heads up, O gauge track is discontinued so get it while you can. Otherwise you have to go to new Fastrack system.

??????

Gas, it will take all your money ?

Silly Willy Bill

Yes you do! I have to be careful coming here to often as I might come down with OPD too!

Quick do a screen capture for proof before the post is Poof gone ?

Yea, that too

You can but your post will be eliminated.

We never left but you decided to break your curfew and probably surf other DAW forums. There will be consequences for your actions. I'll let Bill decide as I'm such a push-over

Yes Reid Keep them coming please.

Perfecting the Voice-over. LOL for me that would be having someone else do the speaking to begin with

Yep I was in jest. Watching youtube videos how folks use the different DAW's is always interesting for me to watch. I Am just a hobbyist for the most part. I graduated college before the main DAW's even came to market. I remember using Corel Draw and having to take a coffee break as the drawing was taking that long to render. Just mention that as how doing things on the computer have changed. A friend who is now retired Grahic Artist laughs that he never thought he would of been doing almost all of his art work on the computer and even submitting it most of it on-line for his clients to review and okay. Peace

Nice Choir and Orchestra

Hear I thought it was a special pizza dough blend

That is for us old farts With all the modern music going around they like to mix things up and see what they get

Fixed that one for you Ed

CCLarry is in a league of his own. I still think he is an In-human that doesn't have to sleep because he is posting night and day.

Keep it handy you still have to use it for TP ?

I never had a pizza beer. I guess I haven't lived yet. I have had beer in my youth as a "Lad" and still have pizza but never a "Beer Pizza"

You must be very talented to drive on the wrong side of the road

Have fun with the Misses ?
