Oh my gosh. Tired of the everyday run-of-the-mill hum-drum dol-drums, decided to do something different.
Picture this: an O-gauge oval, set up on the concrete basement floor, consisting of Menard's O36 curved track and 3 = 30" straights on each side. A Lionel 0-6-0 train set Bethlehem Steel saddle tanker, with sounds and smoke shut off, pulling a black Menard's single-dome UTLX tank car, an orange Menard's Milwaukee Road gondola, a green Menard's 40' flat car with military half-track, a silver post war Sunoco 2-dome tank car, and a red Lionel post war 2257 SP caboose. Powered by some unknown cheap little Lionel train set transformer. No whistle, no horn. Just a knob for throttle. What an eclectic conglomeration of a train set, heh???
Ticking off laps and sounding like a gentle fall rain. TV on in the background, while drinking some adult beverages. Can it get any more relaxing than this? I dunno, I'd be hard pressed to find something better.
Hope your evening is just as relaxing with the crisp, fall weather starting to move in.
