Sounds like a good idea Charlie. Most do not realize the value of our work, let alone the cost.
I have noticed that some members in train clubs look forward to the loss of one for his collection.

The recent eBay discussion reminded me of a conversation I had last night with Mrs. D. I was finishing up the Westerfield DRGW boxcar last night and told my wife not to sell it for $1 at a garage sale after I was gone.



I told her when I reached the time in my life when the model RR was being dismantled for the last time I was going to make a small display case for my kids (and grandkids) with a locomotive, a string of resin freight cars and a caboose so they had something to remember running the layout with me. Anyone else considered this approach?
