Shelf Queens - cn nutbar - 12-24-2020 True model railroaders will probably disagree but I like to display some of my locomotives on a shelf---this way I can enjoy them outside of the train room.

On the week I drop dead, the garbage men will have to bring an extra truck, just for the train stuff and my corpse.  There'd probably be some sort of party, too.   If we were just a little bit closer to Lake Ontario, I could probably get a Viking funeral - me and the train junk in a blaze of molten plastic, heading east, then down.   Wayne RE: Shelf Queens - Tyson Rayles - 12-25-2020 Beautiful queens!
