i one time took a locomotive apart and ended up breaking it because of my lack of skill and cordnation plus i have no idea what i'm doing
i also fear a sodering iron because the heat
its because of these things that i feel helpless
although i am good at running trains that are not DCS / LEGACY
Tinplate is my favorite trains like marklin o gauge and prewar lionel and american flyer o gauge
especially european tinplate like marklin or ace and others has really grown on me in recent years to the point where i have often thought of making it my main focus and operation on my layout
Cody, I am 62 years old. Last year I learned two CAD programs, slicing software, webpage design, and operation of a laser engraver and two 3D printers. You MUST overcome your fear and think outside the box.
Your hobby will cease to be your hobby. Being in business is a different mindset.
