The day has come, I have finally retired (early), and I have a 24 by 70
foot basement that needs something in it.  And for Texas, that is an
absolute rarity.
Actually, I know what is going in part of it - I have been model

I just read an article in last Sunday's Washington DC's Post,
explaining that oil-based, alkyd paint has been banned in the
mid-atlantic region due to air pollution concerns. The article goes on
to explore professional painters' scramble to buy up every can left

Just noticed that our 'friend'  has decided to HIDE his feedback.
I wonder WHY?

Well as one of those souls who will gladly hold up his hands and say I was a
sceptic, I have to say that the arrival into stock of the brand new Hornby

To all the friends and customers of GMCRail, Greetings:
I would like to thank you all for a great 5 years.  I've gained some
very good friends, and had a lot of fun.   It's been a good run, but
all good things must come to an end.  Much as we hate to let it go,

It was learned this morning that Pittsburgh's Best hobby shop A. B
Charles & Son will be closing in the near future . The building has
been sold for a car lot and the shop will close.

I bought an HO gauge Lilliput track cleaning wagon about 20 years ago.
