Hello everyone!

Been busy with life and other trivial things and have had little time to butcher much balsa.

it is pleasant to see what others have built/flown those ww1 birds in post 3030 are real nice and very realistic. althouigh I am not a ww1 model builder they are cool looking to me!

model trains were mentioned.......I at one time had so many I was forced to give them away only to find some years later they were collector items.

All of them were given me by the owners of the hobby shop were I worked for a time, upon moving to a new location I got to disassemble the railroad display and take it home, it was quite a big display the foot locker in my shop contains several pieces of that display, been stored away since 1956.

my favorite piece is a turntable that would rotate to a specific track and permit a locomotive to enter then rotate it to another track and send it on it's way, we had a lot of automatic stuff because the importer stored his stuff in our shop.
