HO town was built in anticiaption of the railway branching off and with tracks thru the town bringing untold wealth to all who lived here. But alas, the tarins nevr came and the town while it propsered fro awhile has fallen on hard times and slowly building are falling apart or are outright being relocated to new more prosporous neighbourhoods.

No the car didn't fit in the garage anymore, but there was enough room for an 8x4 layout. :wacko:

No its kinda a Bing Crosby town......... Anyone know how to de-snow a Christmas tree?


Its the only time of the year that I can find trees around here. But I really got to cut down the palm trees, they just don't go good together.

If parking didn't suck at my condo complex, I'd be set up in the garage. As it is, my Partner has to fight to get a spot, so my dio is in the spare room.

Maybe you can still use the garage, David. Shelving doesn't take up that much space...you can do a lot with very little, I've learned.
