MEEE!!!
Trains are my way of getting away from life. I’m 17 and I’m sure many of you know the troubles of the average teenager. Now if only I can get my father in the same state of mind when we werk on our table. He finds in stress inducing. lol. He’s impatient just like me… can’t wait for the table to be finished. It’s in early early construction… just started laying track. 4 sectioned L shaped table. It’s my pride and joy cause I designed the layout myself. [:D] I’m so proud of it.
Model railroads aren’t my ultimate stress reliever (since something usually goes wrong with them when I run them). But the full size things sure can take your mind off of life. When I really am feeling bad, I put “Double Headed Freight on the Cumbres and Toltec” (Gandy Dancer Productions) into the VCR. If seeing 2 K-36s attack Cumbres pass doesn’t make me feel better, then I go run my full size 4-8-8-4 on my personal 75 mile main line[;)] (sorry-started day dreaming there[:D]). There’s just something stress relieving about steamers, but diesels can do the trick to, particularly when you’re 15 feet away from 6 Dash-9s pulling up a 2.2% grade[8D].
Not that stressed right now[:)],

I do but most usually on days that i can not go out shootin with the boys due to bad weather or extra B.S. at work or most frequently the “honey do s” list
i find that after a real bad frustating day at work nothing relives stress better than goin out and blowin S**t up!! whether its 12 gauge at 20 feet or the 308 at 100 yrds maybe the 8mm Mauser or my personal favorite, the Kalishnikov, A.K.A AK 47 Assault Rifle!! nothing better than to feel that very satisfying THUMP against your shoulder!!
and then see stuff blow apart i love it usually it is car parts or full soda cans or whatever we find out there when i cannot go do this then i go run my trains
two old pieces were executed after they repeatly failed to properly
