Hey Mitch, Imagine me @ 8 and even my 2nd grade teacher was equally as hot as Raquel.

Rumor has it that the scuttlebutt was the statement of the year is that all the mom's noticed that because of Mrs Miller, none of the dad's ever missed a Parent Teacher conference that year.

You guys should try to get to Hamburg, Germany and check out Minitur Wunderland. It's a giant two story HO layout in a warehouse building. The layout goes through different parts of the world, and the the cities are well thought out and very clever. There is the Reeperbahn, Area 51, Rock Concerts, and many other things going on. It even has a working airport.

I spent five hours there, and felt I needed another five hours to really get a better look at everything.

This bad boy! Not a good pic, but it IS a cool ass engine. My wife’s grand parents both worked for SP. We have a bunch of SP memorabilia including a full conductor’s uniform.

When they built the layout, they must of had a great time drinking beer and coming up with ideas of what to add here and there to mess with people.

Here are a few I did spot. There are probably more.

I'm another one that had great fun building 4mm scale model railways since I was a kid. Our models tend to be based on small stations and prototype practices. I spent a lot of time building models of real buildings, like this one, for myself and other people's layouts.

Guitar included to give scale... :P

Over the years I've owned DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee. They were all fine. Pound for pound we use Milwaukee more than anything in the M18 series at work, mainly 1/2" Drills, Impact Drivers, rotor hammer drills, bandsaws and the vacuums for sucking jet-line into conduits. We do got a cool ass M18 series knockout set thats a powered hydraulic punch that can cut upto 4-1/2" holes into as thick as 1/4" steel, which we have to use constantly when cutting in conduit holes for our cabinets and panels.

You wouldnt want to get a finger caught between the cutter lol
