Re: Railroad Warehouse 2.8.2 Mikado Logger Build
I have more tools, supplies, and miniature train jewelry than I'd like to admit that I bought but hasn't yet used. However, I have a sense of wellbeing just knowing they are going to be there when and if I do need them, so they were a good investment.
