Happy Birthday. I'm 87 & I m still buying & selling trains.

I'm so glad there are train nuts much older than me out there. Gives me hope.

Well, I turned 80 last Friday and I'm starting ANOTHER  0-31 Layout.  Using same table as my 0-27 layout.  Very small but 2 reversing loops and it will have a passing siding and 3 dead end end short sidings, a town, rtc.  Maybe a mountain in the corner too.  Just getting all the track and switches I need.  Mainly K-Line Super and Snap Track.  6 K-line switches and 3 hopefully Lionel.     And I am selling all my 0-27 track and switches.       Please E mail me if you are interested.  E mail in profile.

Happy Birthday, wish you many more, on 9/17 I will be 68 and still enjoy this hobby, when I retired many people asked how I would remain mentally stimulated and physically active, home maintenance and daily 1.5 mile walks for physical activity working on model railroading and reading books mental activity.

I want to thank every body for the birthday wish.I hope you guys have a happy birthday to.For we are still chugging down the line and doing pretty fine.

Hey, Larry, Happy Birthday and so glad to hear you're ready to get your trains rolling again. Thanks for the trackage you sold me last year - keeping it in Canada's kind of a nice thing, I think! Eli...
