Thanks Larry,
for giving this exhaustive description of my lived hobby. I think you caught
nearly all facets of me being an hardcore AFOL.

They have been named beer waggons by some of the other AFOLs around. I always
counted them as wine cars. And some of my mocs where built under the influence
of at least 10 waggon loads of good California red wine.... ;-)

And Torsten has still that job and those Skoda Diesel 'racing cars'.
While speaking of that nice day do not forget to mention the face of the sales
lady at TRU while buying all their stock of Treasure Raiders 2879 sets (for
ca. 5 bucks each!).

hahaha....
In fact: I have fun in my hobby. And I love if I can share this fun with
others. And Lugnet is a big part of all this fun thing - often by far better
than the 1000steine.
Leg Godt!
