The Latest News
May 1, 2023.....
Well, we finally made it back after 2 weeks in NJ. It was 90% work and 10% pizza and Wawa. We loaded 14,000 lbs of stuff on to a tractor trailer by hand. Not a whole lot of trains, just a whole lot of stuff, and a LOT of Lionel parts from pre-1985 or so. Not that im going to get into selling Lionel parts again...its was all just sitting in NJ, and we had to get it out of there. The trailer will probably get here this week, and it will take another 2-3 days to unload it.
Im alive, and we are starting sipping again now.. Thanks, everyone, for your patience.
