HEY OWEN,

Thanks for backing me, Owen...your checks will keep coming!

Here are examples of the "2 pieces I've glued together":

Would you like to know how many 3/8", 5/16" and 1/4" lag bolts went into this project?

All the structural assemblies were lag-bolted into the wall studs of the game room, using 3/8" Lag bolts, stiffening the game room itself!

What about 3/8" hex bolts, nuts, & washers for bolting the 2x4 framework together? No nails were used.

What about the dozens of track spikes for this 124-foot layout, with soldered rails on the curves?

Also the dozens of shelf brackets, and how about the many 4x8 sheets of OSB sub-roofing panels, and the gallon of desert-tinted paint?

Most of the work on my "Calico Freight Lines" railroad doesn't even show, but it took me almost a year to build it!

Yeah...I can glue 2 pieces together...note the tools I used!

RIP TRACK
