Think the new stuff will be around 100 years from now? The old cliche, "They don't make them liked they used to" still hold true.

Ohh boy here we go with that one again. Will your car still be around 100 years from now? How about your refrigerator or washer and dryer? Maybe your TV?

I'm still waiting for my 20+ year old TMCC locos to quit like folks keep saying. They run just as good as the day they came out of the box and I haven't had to change a single brush,e unit or clean a single commutator.

Will anyone on this forum give the slightest care where our trains are in 100 years??? Will this forum even exist in 100 years????

Heck, the WORLD COULD END in 100 years.

I am simply going to enjoy my trains while I'm alive. Someone else can worry about their reputation when I'm dead.
