Fun Times at FRTS...

What's Roland selling?

I told Chuck I would be in the photo as long as he would turn around and count to 10 while I was on the other side of the shop...... 

I saw some excellent work today by both Roland and Charlie.  It almost made me wish for the return of the local hobby shop, and being able to sit around chewing the fat.  I even told Chuck he should stop wasting room with inventory and put in a couple of couches.

However, I have clear evidence that everyone is not doing their part to keep Chuck busy.  His shelf layout had the substructure complete, and I even saw a locomotive make it all the way around.  If we don't all get on the stick and order something he might actually have enough free time to build a kit!

The one with the hand stamp, they charge cover at FRTS now.

Actually the Pacific Pinball Expo (http://neptunebeachamusementmuseum.org/ppexpo/) is just down the road from Chuck.  Restoring old Pinball machines is another hobby of mine, so I had to stop in.  $25, but over 400 pinball machines all set to free play, stay all day if you'd like.  It's still going on tomorrow for anyone near Chuck's shop, I highly recommend it.

Yep. It's easy to tell all 3 are model railroaders. ;D
