Post your toys!

I love Diamond tables. The bumpers are more live; the felt is generally better (Simonis 183 or the like). Like playing on glass.

I'm an O Gauge guy myself. I'm a Lionel guy though lately I typically put the Ohio State MTH set under the tree (except naturally the year they were bowl banned). (The link is not my train, it's from youtube)

Got to have plenty of room for O gauge layouts.

I know. Mrs. U has prohibited me from running the trains all over the dining room to the living room bc I leaked oil on the carpet 13 years ago. One of these days I'll have a place for them....

My granddad had the whole garage for his HO layout. If I ever get back into it, I'm going n scale.

Imagine a garage size layout at that scale! It would be a decent size city!

These are youtube videos of the Sebring Model Railroad Club in Sebring, Ohio. My Uncle (and Godfather and who I was named after) is on the third video at 2:30. What a great place to go and kibbitz.

My current fave toy is my vintage 1972 Pignose guitar amp. It runs on ac power or 6 aa batteries and sounds tremendous.

I don't use it live, although I have.

Rather, I use it for studio work. If I need a little reverb I open the case a little. A lot of reverb? I open it a lot. If I want a clean sound I turn down the volume on my guitar. If I wanna sound like jimi I turn my guitar volume all the way up. It's extremely responsive.

It looks like a toy but it's not. Frank Zappa used a pignose to record Overnight Sensation. Joe Walsh told me he used one to record Rocky Mountain Way, Meadows, and Turn to Stone.

Does that sound like an $80 amp running on penlight batteries to you?

The cool thing, although my $80 amp is now worth hundreds of dollars, you can get a great new one for the same exact price almost 50 years later.

Bethere, we should have a beer, I suspect many diametrically opposed forum "enemys" would get on great.

One of my best friends is an ivy league lefty.

I try to avoid political arguments!

I don't ride to often any more, I am getting old 36..lol. I mostly ride and fabricate recumbents, I suggest googling " atomic zombie" to see some cool ass toys!

i got a couple buddies that build some pretty wacky stuff.

this is a trike they welded up with random spare bike parts. It's used to have a small weed-eater engine but people kept getting in trouble on the roads so they yanked it.

Not quite as high tech as your stuff but it's fun

I've been to the club a half dozen times and met the immortal "Doc". An old college buddy was a member and that's how I met your uncle. Small world, eh? Bertenelli or something close to that? On another topic, anybody in your firm that specializes in selling businesses? I've got a 40 page offer I need somebody to review ASAP.
