Ok, so what hobbies do I like?
|
If I'm watching something other than
animation it's most likely informative, such as the History channel, A&E,
PBS or watching tapes of MST3k.
Which by the way I've watched from it's very inception when it was ONLY
shown in Minnesota on KTMA.
I'm also a railroad
fan, both Model and Prototype. One of my favourates is the Minnesota
Commercial, but I've also taken fan trips on Milwaukee
Road #261. Before I moved out east (from Golden
Valley, Minnesota *Just west of Minneapolis),
I was building a 11x 20 H.O. scale layout. It was called the Minnekeeta
branch line, if you happen to have the '1994 National Model Railroad
Association Official Register Of Model Railroads' booklet you'll
find
it on page 6. It modeled the era from 1970 to 1974 and it was based
on a generic, small Minnesota Mississippi river town. The railroad
was
mostly Milwaukee road,
although the Minneapolis, Northfield
and Southern made forays onto the two level layout.
I was going for very high realism, a quote-unquote 'Magazine' quality
model railroad. When I moved out east I built another one
with the help of my roommate Tom. It had been a freelanced combination
of Milwaukee
Road and B & O. It's
gone now though.
What
not to do around train crossings.
