I have always wanted to drive a train. I dunno how much they get paid, but I always wanted to do it. I just dont think I can handle the psychological factor of not being able to stop on a dime. Driving one of those and if you see someone on the tracks and you cant stop and hit them would haunt me forever. I dont know how they do it.

Try a train simulator.

The train room is where most of the flooding was.. several inches deep.

I basically bucketed water out for a day.. then have had a fan blowing since..

As of now there's only a small spot of water left.

No real damage.

Wanna know something cool?

A famous former Bulls player is into model railroading..

He's got N scale and models the Chicago and North Western

Take a guess who it is..

You're gonna be very surprised

That's pretty interesting..........
With Jordans wealth, I'm pretty sure Jordans lay-out is very impressive.....

Is there any pictures on the internet of Jordans Model railroad?

Since the HO scale layout is about 95% done..

Starting a small N scale layout.

Come on, you know as well as I do, that there is no such thing as nearly completed. :lol:

Looking good though.

For this one it pretty much will be. Finish the yard and engine service area.

Then it's done.. will be my father's layout till he passes and I get to take it all down in a few decades.

You should hear my ideas for my first full on layout when I move.. (If I can do it)
