I appreciate the thought Magoo, but I've lost most interest in anything I loved, that I turned into a business in the past. Even part time, it always grew to became work. Work means stress. Being stressed about your stress relief spoils the fun. E.G,.. I haven't read a new comic book in many many years now.
I was always happier doing work I kinda liked, and didn't mind doing. I tend be "intense" in my work focus as is, and less demanding on myself, and others without the extra drama of feeling real passion for the work 24/7/364.5.
I'd also be so afraid to do damage to a loved train. You'd need to sign a disclaimer. My own deep attachment to mine becomes very apparent here. It might make me seem ideal for the job, but scares the heck out of me.
I'd feel less worry with folks kids in my care, lol.
I'd rather help as "free" as I can, for near anything train related, for near anybody. Esp. you folk here. Real thanks is the "gold".
When I'm more sure it wont fail, as in flames, or a blob, I'll do a good post on it. The use of silicone could possibly lower costs a bunch for the "big guys". If this is an original thought, all I know is they better send me samples to play with after they swipe the idea
I'm still a tinkerer, and train guy. But if I spoil the fun in those, I'd be about out of passions... outside of a toasted peanut-butter sandwich, and a coffee or hot chocolate. Hmmmm I'm suddenly hungry..gotta go...
