    Just yanking your chain Andy, I live in the boondocks of Apison myself. Go to Chattanooga and turn East, when you drop off the edge of the earth you're in Apison. :rofl: When Chattanooga isn't even trying to annex your butt, you know you in the sticks around here! :rofl:

    Hello.

    I was never that excited about the models, I also worked on the real thing.
    Amateur Radio is just a hobby with me, fun but my world does not revolve around it.
    I do not understand why some hams get so upset when CB is brought up, as long as you run your CB legit I could care less, I run both, as well as GMRS.
    Politics? Democratic bagman.
    I disagree with Karol Madera, VE7KFM, but do feel that he has his opinion, Industry Canada not withstanding.
    So, who knows, perhaps I am in Sector R?

    Welcome Andy! I am new here too. You really have to try hard to banned here. It has happened to others here since I joined. The admins, and moderators are very fair. It usually only gets heated in the forbidden zone. This is the best collection of hams I have ever seen, really

    My best childhood memories is my model trains (ho scale). I even had the engines that smoked. I remember the smell of the controller. The sparks, and sounds. It is one of the ZEN hobbies.

    I know Lionel had a "smoking" O scale engine (either a tablet or drops of a special oil were put in the smokestack) starting post WW2. I remember ads for "smoking" engines when I was a kid, and never mind when that was, but I don't recall what scale.

    It's not hard to imagine that if they could do it for "O" they could do it for "HO"

    Hell, Lionel tried to sell us box cars that could launch missiles and aircraft (realistic, right?) so why not?

    The best part: the ho's & smoking was introduced by my Dad, and I was only 8 years old! That would be local tv news fodder these days.

    I called my dad today to confirm it was HO scale. The smoke came from an oil and it stunk. I think you had to place cotton in a chamber, added the oil. You had to really look for the "smoke". Most of my friends had the larger scale trains and that was what I wanted. You know, bigger is better. I did not understand the HO scale was "better" as told by my Dad. He was a CBer too :chin: :chin: hhmmmmmmm
