Default You're not a real ham if you never took or passed a Code test.

Man, I went to a Train Show near me recently, I was AMAZED. I didn't know so
much Train Hobby stuff existed. WOW!!!!! Speaking of prices - all my train
stuff went by the way side in a disaster. One "engine" I had - I seen at
this show for $1400.00........ Man what a sinking feeling I had. I'm sure my
dad didn't pay anywhere near "that". This was my "first" train show - as I
was going to the Computer show adjoining it in the same hall. I think the
train show had more customers than the Computer show. Some of the "Computer"
vendors even related to such.

Blow Code, no more damage to my brain then the lead you are breathing in
when putting together your little radios with solder.

But then again, the collector trains come pre-assembled so no glue is
involved. One nice thing, the increase in value of some of these is
incredible.

Paid $20 each for two railcars. Now I am offered $400 for each of them.
Not a bad hobby at all now is it. Don't believe me? Check the prices for
Micro-Trains Illinois state cars (first in the series).

Are trains a great hobby or what?
