Well, this FNF doesn't start on the happiest of notes. It all started on Friday
afternoon when a LARGE box from UPS appeared on the front porch, and my wife,
always on the alert for what I might be spending my money on, asked, "What did
you order, NOW?
Well, long story short, I thought I had bought an On30 4-6-0 from Ebay, but
what emerged from the box as I pawed through the packing was the most beautiful
4-6-0 I have ever seen, but in G scale, and did I mention that it was LARGE!
As I am prone to do on occasion, I hadn't read the description close enough to
realize I was bidding on a G scale model, rather than On30, and needless to
say, the better half was not impressed. "That's nothing but a TOY!" was her
immediate impression. Myself, I like the engine, and was about ready to sell
off my S scale and go into G, but my better senses, and my desire to keep my
marriage intact, I let that impulse pass. Today, it sits above my computer in
its resplendent glory, a constant reminder of what almost was, where my wife
can't see at it and remind me of my major Ebay misadventure.
That being said, it is a beautiful locomotive, and I'll have to see if I can
find a G scale layout in the vicinity to see it run. In the meantime, if
somebody would like to have it, sight unseen and untested as to running
quality, I'll take $100.00 for it, plus shipping. While the seller did an
excellent job of packing it, I believe I can do as well for a lot less. Contact
me offline if you're interested, and save me from going off my wacky completely
and executing an excursion into G scale.
Time to leave for the meeting, so I'll take this up again later.
