My other Bachmann, the 2-8-0 Spectrum is in the dead line.
Well, folks, I’ve caught the insomnia train again, and I’ve been up syne just about 3am [it’s now five-ish] and I’m drinking my third cup of coffee. All the lights are out in my house, except the little ones lighting up the keyboard, and these little lights, as bright as all get-out, are coming from a Dash 9 on rollers grinding away about two feet over my right shoulder. Boy, those things are BRIGHT!
Been doing the things you do when you can’t sleep - fixing the steps on a caboose with some of Phil’s excellent little brass bolts, re-painting the window frames on the work caboose I’m building to go with the gon/flat I’ve already built, and generally futzing around until it’s time to get up and milk the chickens and see to the house hippos.
Me and pal Broos went to the 16mm Association show last saturday, and managed to spend very little money, pretty unusual, huh? Prices were ranged from the preposterous to the downright WTF? and I was less than impressed. Cans of gas were actually pricier than they were at my local Home Depot equivalent, and the asking for some of the USA Trains stuff beggared bleef.
I bought a great yard crane kit, though, from a guy I’ve known for many years - he sold me some of my electric AccuCraft stuff as well as a couple of steam Shays and a few cars over the years - and picked up my caboose cut-levers from David Bailey. But in spite of the usual three Ozark dealers being present there was not a single item for sale - 'can’t seem to get anything out of ‘em, anyhow, didn’t you buy everything we had last time?’
the Roundhouse stand, as ever, was beseiged by keen-to-part-with-money types, and the order books for the new ‘Taliesin’ loco are full for a couple of years, no doubt - it IS rather nice, in a kind of Forney fashion.
The great thing about a show like this is that is portrays a hobby that transcends age and station - it’s true you can check-book your way into it, like anything else these days, but the real commitment of the vendors to provide interesting and innovative products - Ivan Prior and his IP Engineering passenger cars comes to mind there - can only be good for all of us, whether or not our interests lie with British NG, or anything else.
tac, going for his forth cup of coffee…
