Title: Oooo Train Set
Post by: avesher on November 16, 2014, 12:34:52 PM
my project for the winter cause they are predicting a COLD winter so I wont be working on the truck much. Its gonna be the route from Jasper to Vancouver back to Banff. Its a little tough to work on cause I have whats called "Essential Tremors" (exactly like stage 1 parkinsons) so working on the small stuff is tough with super shaky hands. But its peaceful and makes me happy. Potato hates the train for some reason.

I ve built 3 in my life but since I left my parents place I jusy haven't got room to build one, or time with some of the hours I work. Great hobby though, very creative.

I need to pick up something like that for one my out buildings.  I have a fireplace in one of them but its annoying building a fire, although it does heat up nicely and electric heaters simply don`t do enough.  Anything below 50 degrees is freezing to me.  :D

You don't even have Vodka to look forward to... That said, mad heat can be worse than anything when you simply can't get cool.

Its mostly practice. I'm by far not the best mechanic. But i did get better over time
So the saying  "the best way to learn is from your mistakes" usually it involves money lol
