RE: Re: [CHAt model trains

Oh Boy! Now you have done it David:)

Do NOT let your wife see any of the Dept 56 village... that also will
take over the house..... started as a cute little village and my old
Lionel train under the X-mas tree, now is over 500 pieces strong and
growing here:(

Also, you need to head to Sacramento in July.... that is where the
national G scale convention is this year... http://www.svgrs.org/  ...
they will have homes to visit and then more ideas come to mind :) I have
to admit that some are great and others... well, they set up a track and
call it a garden railroad :(

Let us know how the tunnel under the house works out :)
