What am I interested in? Primarily Model Railroading of
course!! Then there is home repairs (oh joy), maintaining the cars and that
22 year old pickup that needs attention from time to time. Speaking of old ,
at least older than me, is my 1955 John Deere 40. Biggest lawn mower on the
block!! So here's a few pics that should help explain it all.

walls moved to form the "downstairs" wall, it is still recognizable
as a Revell kit. See the pic below, same barn, different view

| John Deere tractors.
Oh yeah, gotta love the sound of an old
Deere, and yes, I'm addicted to them too! I have a 1955 John Deere
