Dear Citizens:
Pardon me for not writing recently but I have been busy working on the Railroad. Not a simple full sized prototype but the 1/48 variety. I've been building a Lionel empire.
At my age some men buy a fast car or seek the company of even "faster" women. It is said they lacked something in childhood or adolescence or early adulthood. Not so with me --I had fast cars, and wild lady friends. Come on, in order to settle down, I married Elizabeth Taylor and so I was astounded when the urge came to dig out that old three rail equipment in the attic, update it and buy something new.
New, Lionel certainly is, and expensive also but what a kick. The engines now do things that we, in the fifties, only dreamed about. So pardon me while I return to the little town of Philloch (pronounced Pill-Ick) and work through designing a rail yard and some out buildings. I get back to you during this Lenten season on the progress.
Be well
A Journeyman
