You’re a man after my own heart. I have On30, HO, N and Nn3 trains and some 1/16 German tanks: Tiger 1, Panzer3 and a King Tiger on the way from Canada (shipping is pure hell). I have no real use for the Tiger II so let me know if you want a Tamiya King Tiger without electronics. Right now it’s lost in shipping and I may or may not receive it.

Hello from Wisconsin, BITTIN. Are you making hash marks on the wall until July? I had a great career, had to retired to care for my late wife suffering Alzheimer's--and I still recommend retirement: the ultimate promotion! Dive into 1/16 tanks. I have too many of those, 800 sq. ft. of O-Gauge three-rail, 50 years of experience with 1/16 farm toys and models, static models, esp. 1/16, and I'm still chuggin' along. I see that you "just got a MATO KT Running..thats a whole story in itself." I have a Mato M10, representing over four years of :headbang: work. But now it runs great. Got any tank photos? We like photos. :) In addition to tanks, check the "Forums" link above and you will find places for train and car photos, too.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada.
Retirement--it's everything it's cracked up to be! Sounds like you have lots to keep you "busy". The good busy!
