One day and already causing problems

Matt,
You would NOT believe the crazy crap I pull off in a hobby shop setting.....I got machines that do just about everything anyone in a full supplied garage can do. I own a custom repair shop for old Lionel trains.....I retired last year due to health, so now the "modeler" is a live and playing instead of "working" and dealing with every single bit of stress that came with being a shop owner....

Thats great. I am working to get myself setup for retirement at 62. I plan on tinkering in my shop on real cars and models, or whatever strikes my fancy.

My dads friend restores old lionel and has one hell of a collection of them. I know what you mean about the stresses of working. I am under constant time constraints working on commercial aircraft. When they arent flying they arent making money.

Thats cool that you have stuff to build your models just like the real thing. There was a thread about a guy who machined and soldered together a 1/25th hemicuda model from scratch on here. Even made a working rack and pinion.

I wish i had the time to be able to spend doing stuff like that.

Matt
