Sure, although I'm not upset in the least. Just trying to help you understand how this board usually works, and how the readers are to be trusted. This venue isn't like some of the others, where you're wise to not tip your hand.

Not too many of us Harolds on this board. We gotta stick together! :-)

What Harold said.

Sometimes “smart retorts” are necessary to drive home a point that otherwise gets missed.

One thing I highly recommend (although it's not mandatory) is that you include your general location in your description.
Reason?
The number of times that a reader has sought help when it was near is hard to believe. By disclosing a general area you offer the opportunity for those who live nearby to lend a hand or to offer advice that might be peculiar to your area and not known by those who hail from other places. Beyond that, I often overlook those who ask and don't disclose such information. It's a personal thing with me---not willing to help those who don't trust me.

That said, I want to emphasize that including that information isn't required. It just shows others that you're trying to be a part of the "family".

Assuming you choose to do so, don't provide an address. A general location within a state is plenty good enough.

It took me a bit to find it. My dad kept a detailed record of what he spend building his locomotives. He sold the Triplex in 1993 for $500.

Thanks for the update. Care to share what you and the buyer decided a nicely refurbished Triplex was worth? (Roughly)
