 ;D  First post here. I went to Portland for the Convention. Put some cars in the Auction and contest. Wandered the swap meet anf looked at the Mods. Took a layout tour and visited a couple hobby shops. Did this 'swearing' I would buy NOTHING, Nada, Zilch.......BUT, then it happened. Strange really....er, what do you want for that??????...REALLY...What do you want for that??????...REALLY. Well, my NON-buying spree netted me over 30 cars. New Kadee kits in bubble packs, 10 gons (buck a piece) some old cabooses ect. Well noe with all this new old stuff it's down to modeling. Finished 2 MOW cars fron the Kadees...SP&S Ice reefer and NP Water tank car, and this...a NP 24' wood caboose made from an old RAPIDO caboose. Cupola was changed and the car was shortened. Some detail, paint and decals and my $1 purchase is now this..........

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!
