Alas, I went back to IL, one hour north of St. Louis.I only spent $2,000 to get my items from there, just to find the main items I went after to be stolen.
I do plan on going back some day to finish college at MMI. I bought a 1/3 water damaged RV (Keystone 23KRS) but my beast (89' F-Superduty) has a bad rear-end. I was originally buying a 30' single wide but when the car blew up on my way to college. I couldn't get the 90 miles to college from the trailer. That is when I became homeless the first time.
I would love to find an acre down there to put my RV on to finish school. But I have had to many slumlords, including in Phoenix. Never a decent landlord yet.
The guy in Phoenix was the worst yet but not by far. So I need a piece I can buy. Preferably on Contract for Deed without a down payment. I need an acre minimum because I was raised in the country and I don't want to hear other people fighting.
I am currently gathering supplies to build a modular layout in O scale. My RCS 4-way switch just arrived at my sister's (MO has no tax from eBay, IL is 8%). It will be a 3 main with 4 track yard. But my turntable deal fell through last month. So I still need one of them.
I had one bought on eBay but the idiot was pulling all kinds of things and I lost the $150 diamond scale turntable. I don't need it indexed but it would be nice. I just want a pit style that is big enough for a full scale GS-4. I will never have the money for a Big Boy. But someone else running my layout might.
I have an awesome deal worked out on a roundhouse. I have to make them but he is willing to sell me his molds. Then I will be selling them at the shows also.
