Well, THAT is a pretty "cheap" car for someone to be questioning how much you spend on your hobby. Now, when the guy with the S550 'Benz makes a comment about MY hobby, that's when I draw the line.

I always enjoy visits from children, or an adult that has a similar interest in trains. Nevertheless, I feel an obligation to share the gifts and talents that God has given me, and I suffer through the insults. Sometimes parents let their children run wild, which is disappointing.

Merry Christmas !!!!!!

Take care, Joe.
