I bought a Tomy Tomica "Roads and Rails" playset. The first train set I ever had. Sure, I could roll my Hot Wheels on the roads, but it's a lot more fun watching the train go around the track, going across the level-grade crossing. It's really cool seeing the gates close by themselves when the train goes on the crossing. Maybe I have a new hobby?
Train sets can get really elaborate. Especially when you set up scenery and all that stuff as well.
I'm thinking of getting a bunch of the Tomica rails so that I can make a line spanning my apartment. (more than 20 feet of rails) And maybe a couple of playsets for the "destinations". This is going to be a lot of fun.
Post pics of the process?

Five two and a half inch hole saws
I had to use an old chipped tooth beat up 3" hole saw to go into an Al PG&E specced box at the beginning of this job. Now I have a 1/2" to 4" new KO set for the steel boxes and new 3" hole saws for the remaining cast Al boxes.  :thumbup:

English translation please?   :dunno:

 :lol:

I ruined two of them today going through roofing shingles.

That's why I have a couple of the Harbor Freight sets. They work OK when you use generous amounts of gear oil as cutting fluid.  :green:

The required operation is more complex than most of the ones described in the book. :GA:

Excellent. I'll just leave the object where I usually drop off counter-intelligence. :zoinks:

Poor me.  I can't wear skinny jeans.  Nothing about me is skinny.  I even wear fat socks. :'(

Holy crap. When I was at Toys R Us browsing the Hot Wheels "Hot Ones", I found a "chase" car. A "Sunagon" VW van with redline tires. Those are rare and they're going for 20+ dollars on eBay! Lucky day this was! This is the first Hot Wheels car that I will not open and may sell at some point for an easy profit. :2thumbsup:

I bought a big 'net' of cob nuts/hazelnuts and a 2011 Beaujolais today. Opened the first already and going to rest the latter a couple of days. (which is a bit over the top for a young wine but.. )(hey)

Not sure. Why not do it again, just to make sure?
