scale rail posted:I must tell this story. My Dad (God love him) could not change a tire or hit a nail. He finally got me a Lionel crossing gate for Christmas. His best friend and he tried half the night to get the gate to work right. They just couldn't he told me on the morning of Christmas. I saw the problem right away. They had the gate across the track. Not across a make believe road. It would come down and the train would hit it every time. Somewhere in heaven I hope he's not working for a railroad. Don
Don, you and your Dad were a great team because you had the mechanical aptitude that he lacked. Great story.
