Modeling general discussion
Moving or Migrating
Well we are moving again, 3rd time in 7 years. You would have thought I would learn after close to 70 years of moving with my parents or as an adult. Nope
not yet anyway. To make the story short, son #2 who lived in Minneapolis called us up last winter and told us he was getting married. We made plans to attend and then Covid ran over ever thing and most people one way or another.

Pouring Medium
What can "Pouring Medium" be used for in model railroading?
