I see that was published over 60 years ago.
And they thought we were a new oddity!

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

The last man mentioned in the article, Lester Friend, manufactured and sold castings for a line of live steam locomotives in the 1930s. The line is being revived by his son or grandson, I believe, and now operates under the name "Friends Yankee Shop Models." They advertise in Live Steam and Outdoor Railroading magazine; check out www.friendsmodels.com.

#2 would be siomeone other than Kludge

#3 would be Kludge

#4 would be someone not wacky enough to enjoy a hobby that cost so much mental and fiscal anguish to fix/(admit) the mistakes to ones self even though self never makes mistakes.

I've been told how crazy I am for perusing this hobby many times.
One day I took one of my models to work with me and a coworker
who is just a little bit brighter than the average human being,
(if you know what i mean), asked me why.

He said, "You are building models of machines that were obsolete 100 years ago.
Why bother?"

My reply was, "I do it just because you can't."

That was rude and completely out of line but it did save me from his useless
advice and interruptions for almost 3 whole days! ;D

Ah, I beg to differ. I have documented proof of my wackitude from the VA who has also seen that I get a total disability pension as a result. In that documentation are records of "vacations" in The Ward which are kind of hard to trump.

Best regards,
