FLA truck stop modeler

Can't forget this place.

Around Wild Wood FLA, there was a old 76 across from the R/R Yard(long gone now I be-leave). In the store it was full of built models. If I understand rite the builder could not walk so he built models too pass time. On sleepless nights I would sit and watch the trains pass by and count the cars. That would be the best part of a Fla trip. looking at models and counting the train cars.

That is a cool memory....I remember as a kid, I was fascinated with planes, trains, and big trucks.....When you are only a head taller than a standard truck tire, they look colossal.....

loved road trips as a kid counting cars was fun way to pass time love to see the old barns full of old trucks and old junk.

On road trips (to Florida) as a kid, I would always sit behind dad and in the back seat and pretend I was driving my brand-new KW down the highway. Pop was ok with that, but kindly asked that I disabled my *&^%$#@^ jake brake.
