Thanks, 50% and Mode_One. I am, absolutely, sticking with my Cessna. The Cessna's not a kit, it's an ARF. I decided on that, because I want to make sure I can do the final assembly before going with another kit. I built an Eagle before, all the way up to the covering only to end up selling it many years ago. It would have been a nice plane, it went together very well. Whoever has it now I'm sure has probably put more than 100 flights on it.

As for the nick: I'm not a model railroader, and I don't work for the Norfolk Southern. It actually comes from a horn that was commonly used on that Railroad, one of my favorites: The Nathan 3rd Generation P5. People say it has an awful sound, a cross between that of a table saw and a bench grinder. With a bit of marching band mixed in! Here's a video of one:
