Everyone experiences fear, but the key difference lies in the response. A courageous person acts despite their fear, while a coward is controlled by it.

It still surprises me, though not so much as it used to, that so many tough-talkers go to water when the stuff hits the fan.

Sometimes when only the proper tool will do, you have to become a toolmaker.

Looking good.

"Kakorrhaphiophobia" is obviously the fear of kakorrhaphios, either singly or in groups.

Holy what-the-thingamy?

Me too me too me too !!!!!!

Clean, clean, clean. What they used to call "sanitary", and just real pretty.

Always a pleasure to see your very realistic scenes. Inspiring stuff to any builders of dioramas in any scale, including railroad and military modelers.

"Stumped and tooted and bears, oh my" was what the nonsense-spouting AI came up with for the next post.

Seems like there'd have to be a string on it the owner is playing, but I can't see one...

Lot of 8 Proto 2000 freight car kits for less than $8 each including shipping, which is a deal. These are quite nice, highly detailed kits that usually run at least $20. They have separate (and very fragile) ladders, grabs, steps, and other detail parts, aimed at adult modelers. The similar cars have different road numbers too, so that won't have to be dealt with later on. Alas, a couple have been partially started, but the work is mostly OK and what's not can be camouflaged with weathering. The five drop-end mill gondolas are appropriate for a steel mill setting. The double-door boxcars can load either complete automobiles or, more commonly, stamped metal parts for automobile construction, so they're appropriate for a sheetmetal parts-factory setting, which could be close to a steel mill. No real need for the stock car, as feedlots, meat packing plants, or cattle loading pens don't figure into my plans, but you never know.

Always liked him. Also liked the fact he never seemed to think he knew everything about everything, or that his opinions should guide other people's lives just because he was a celebrity...at least as far as I saw.
