All this talk about getting young people started in the hobby made me think of my age. As I have entered into my seventh decade of life I am realizing something that I just never understood as a younger man. Why there are water tanks? and coaling stations on model railroads. Our models really don't need real water or coal to run. So. Why have them? Well I now know for a fact why. Operating in the mornings after two cups of coffee. I need those pretend water tank stops. There is no pretending the loco is taking on water anymore as I make the real water pouring sound myself.
Today I have three water stops on the layout and am thinking of just one more. I feel sorry for you diesel guys that carry their toilet onboard.?
This post is in response to the last sentence of Jerrys post.?

Don't let perfection get in the way of good enough! Keep model railroading fun!
