never really had thought of that as a reason for that line of thought but that makes a lot of sense!

median home price in 1985: $82,500
DynaTAC cellphone (8000X): $3,995
IBM PC XT computer: $4,395

adjusted for inflation the home price median is $248,401 buuuut actual median this year is $435,300

Interior details not quite on the level of the HO Scale versions, not surprisingly, but still very well detailed for the scale!

That's been my experience in past years as well, when the party floor opens, that's where the con is, and everywhere else is empty so I opted to skip, though was hoping to at least day trip over, though ended up having other plans

It was a really great price! The inclusion of a single cooling tower and lack of need for it though made me pass, got plenty of train stuff collecting space right now as it is 😅

this was my first and I definitely can see how dangerous they can be to the wallet!!!

Happy birthday big wolf!!! Hope you got a big cake to feast on, but if not I might have a little cake available to loan out~ 🐶❤️🍑

Also I should say I'm at the point where that's a deterrent for me as well, I have DC locos, buuuuut if I'm going to pick anything up now, it's going to be DCC (which I guess is a good thing, otherwise I would've left the show with a couple locomotives 😅)

YEAH!! 🐶❤️🚂

Oh wow, they do look REALLY nice with the cars!

I don’t recall, looked like a really nice brass locomotive pair though!

Another Free-MoN module I really liked, all those grapevines were hand made! “I modeled early spring so I wouldn’t have to figure out how to add the grapes”

Glad you enjoyed! I’ll have to give the sukiyaki a try next time I go!!

Hope so as well, got my wish list and been eyeing some stuff online but been a good dog and held off until after the show in case I find some goodies there!

Mentally, I'm the CEO of McDonnell Douglas

I have now! Amazing use of a teensy T Gauge train set!!!
