Not retired yet...hell I may never be able to. Funny as I work for a major financial planning firm. I posted because I like the idea to run a front engined digger. I often think of picking up an abandoned rail(have a friend that sold his extended rail for next to nothing) or even an odd ball car. As car guys we have lots of parts. whistling Why not get together and make tracks?? Welding experience and tools. Yes. Tuning experience. Check. Paint and body work. Check. Knowledge of parts and bodies? Unlimited.
