Vic, There was some stuff I wanted to have back. and that is part of what started my buying spree in HO. After moving back and fourth across the country, I lost so much in the moves. I finally have the Tyco stuff I had as a kid, and its set up to run on DCC. So I can play with my childhood toys again. I know the NMRA guys don’t like it, but hey, I paid my dues, built a module, and most times I am the only one running trains. So they can just suck it up that the train running is a puke green, Tyco, Penn Central, F7 with horn hook couplers.

I also have so many kit-bash ideas (shades of Devon), that I really don’t want to let go of too much stuff. I will need some of it for the eventual builds I plan on doing.
So I am a train addict. So what? I finally have a little bit of spending money, thanks to my new and better job. I am paying all of my bills on time. My credit card balance is paid off every payday, and I have a few dollars in savings. Not much, but a few. I am not hurting anyone, and I am not spending my money on illicit agricultural and chemical products. So, yes, my name is Dave, and I am a model train addict.
