Worlds colliding

[Brakie]

My biggest surprise was working with a guy that had a 4' x12' Lionel layout in his basement..We had worked together for 4-5 years and one day during lunch I saw him thumbing through a Classic Toy Train Magazine..We had never discuss trains or to much of anything because he look like your every day pickup driving "red neck" that spends Friday night guzzling beer at "Billy Bob's " and ends up busting his face when he thrown from a mechanical bull.. Turn out he was none of that ..My neighbor that lives 3 doors down likes to watch trains but,that where it ends.
