I have to say that I am disappointed in the
extremely low level of activity on this Forum. Given
that model railroading is a near-obsession, I had
hoped to be sifting through many daily posts looking
for and adding information.
Here's an issue: I've been a woodworker for over
30 years and finally, for health/safety reasongs
gave it up at Christmastime--prompted by my three
daughters giving me a train set to get me re-started
on a former hobby of years ago. I was very excited
and moved by their gift, which is a Lionel set, but
asked if they minded if we swapped it for an HO set.
Of course, they didn't mind a bit. Here's the rub, the
owner of the shop in Portland, Maine refuses to either
take it back, which I understand, it's a small shop or
exchange it, which I don't understand. I really have
no interest in or space for a Lionel layout (no offense
to Lionel people: it's just that HO is what I had years
ago). If his mind can't be changed (my Portland
daughter is going to badger him again tomorrow) I/we
are stuck with a new Lionel set. Any suggestions?
