I prefer my IPA to be around 7.5%, and after a few of them it doesn't matter if the wheels are clean or not!


This   :D      Guilty of RTWI then.

Indeed it is; like (probably) most of us, I have trains in several scales. And (also probably like most of us) S scale seems to be the "perfect" size. Just a shame it never really "caught on". I have some pretty nice early (immediate post-war) examples; the engines run REALLY well, and are very easy to work on...  :)

Yes, I ended up with all the trains we ever had and I have the same hopper which is part of the train set my dad got for my oldest brother in 1949 when my brother was 7 months old (my dad liked railroads, too \:^). It also had the 639 "reefer", red 638 caboose, and 300 Atlantic which I have recently restored. My brothers and I would spend hours just watching that train go around an oval my dad put on a 4X8 sheet of plywood. The sight and sounds of those big trains are magic.

I was the only one of us whose fascination with model trains persisted.

So the consensus seems to be that DWM (Drinking While Modeling) is hazardous and can cause damage to armatures.
