Aftre reading a few of the notes here about scratchbuilding I find the title question coming to my mind. Adn, if one thinks about it, one has to realize that modelrailroading is a job for most of us.

I read something interesting in the current issue of Scale Rails. It was two page article describing something that either has afflicted all of us at one time or from which we are currently suffering: Procrastination.

In the wake of the Giant Claw Incident of last week, I was finally able to get my imaginery n-scale work crews back to work on the layout. They had been terrorized by a black bird which had somehow found its way into my basement coming down the chimney flue and luckily didn't end up in the flue leading to the boiler.

Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s Hollywood made alot of horror movies. As kid I remember going to the movies on Friday afternoon's to see some of those gems (not) with my firends after school. It was a good way for our mother's to get us out of the house while they got ready for the Sabbath and it was cheap at 25 cents too. When I got older they showed many of these *gems* on TV as well and I watched them while doing homework or building one of what must have been thousands of models.
