(...) It's not just emotional - it's financial. Not getting at Larry, but there's an example of someone who's got tons of stuff. On a smaller layout, like we do with the NBLTC, every single thing on the layout is a one-off. My four GWR carriages, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains.org)
