    Way off topic...for the scale model railroaders out there.

    Not my hobby, but I was impressed beyond belief when I took the kids to visit. The tracks are HO scale and the canyons are approx. 10 - 12 feet deep. Could only wish for that sort of spare time eh?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    It's a bit of a long hike from Mauserland, but I have made note of this, just in case... I started out in model railroading before getting involved with old bangers, but I can't see the rivets any more in HO. What the hell, so I got some LGB! One has to adapt to survive!

    Just dismantled my HO set as building it was the fun and I really don't enjoy operating it that much. I have over 40 pieces of brass I am going to sell and will probably buy a few more Lee Enfields with the money.

    Model railroading is a great hobby and the bonus was meeting so many good people over the years.

    Bought a bunch of G but decided not to build a outdoor layout, sold it to a friend.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Lehmann GrossBahn - "G" scale models, i.e. narrow gauge 1/2" to the foot on Gauge 1 track - prototypes are NG railway stock on 2'6", 3" or meter gauge.
