Bill, Your post below reminded me that I have never posted the completed version of my AF Pennsy tank car that I converted to scale. I bought the tank at an NASG auction from you some years back. This qualifies as a “fun” project, and I enjoy seeing the car run around as it’s the only triple dome tank car that I have. You’re right: once a layout is under construction, priorities shift!
Here’s to having fun with the hobby sometimes! Roger Nulton From: Bill Lane Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: {S-Scale List} rivet counting & reality In reference to some of Chris Borgmeyer's thoughts, it is a constant struggle for me as to how much time to throw at any 1 thing. Many things start out as _ and become a major rebuild with a lot more time consumed. Now that I have started my layout a few things have happened. I have reexamined things on the shelf and sold some of it. I have also had some attitude adjustments. 10 years ago I probably would not have spent the time I did on my H27 hopper given it's American Flyer origins. I was head deep in brass modeling only. I had some fun with the H27 since it was a "good enough" project with some "winging it" involved. But the struggle still exists on how "much" I will spend on any given project. Rolling stock absolutely rules my interests. I don't see that changing much. But I have to back off a bit if I want to complete my rolling stock projects and still make forward progress on my layout.
