Re: Unka Jesse - Thanks for another fine article
They are only a phone call away. I should subscribe also since i have go all the way to tulsa to buy it. Hastings carries HSM and MW but can't get lLive Steam as it's not on their magazine suppliers list. Just think if i had subscribed it would be in my hot little hands as we speak. (sort of)

Re: Sched 40 pipe
Just bought a powerball ticket for 100M + jackpot, if it's awinner consider it a done deal. Seriously if I could afford it now we probably would but i'm pretty sure the housing is way way to expensive these days. Modesto's a great place that's not more than couple of hours from everything. (except N...

Re: Sched 40 pipe
Curtis, I used to live in Modesto over on Chikaree lane. There Was a house just outside the neighborhood that had a railroad. Never saw anything running on the tracks but the wife said she drove by one day and did see the train running. (darn the torped oops overtime.)

Sched 40 pipe

Re: For those wanting Climax gears....
