...Just fifteen hours ago...another thread...

"MVMark V. SpadaroMember

Opened a Railking High Cube Boxcar for the first time today and both of the couplers and one of the trucks literally fell apart. I’m guessing this is zinc rot or whatever the correct affliction is. This car has never been opened before and it’s been stored for approximately 10 to 12 years. Mint, if you don’t count the broken couplers and truck. Hahaha."

...Like waking up to the daily local obits arriving on our email account.

Opening up one of those boxes after blowing off 10-12 years of dust once was like Christmas morning all over again.

Nowadays?........ devil

Sweaty brows, shaking hands, pulse-pounding temples, tightened sphincters...

Thanks, again, China for that great wake-up-in-the-mornin' feeling! rolleyes
