Retired in 1959 and found in a museum in California, this Big Boy locomotive was restored by the Union Pacific. She weighs over 1 million pounds and is going on a tour of the US. The whistle gives me chills. The UP did an incredible job on the restoration and she runs like a Swiss watch. Link about the tour...

I want a drone. I have one my wife bought for me a few years ago. It's a bit hard to fly though and you can see what I mean by this short video of one of my flights. Better strap on your air sickness bag! Today's drones have auto-gyro systems to keep...

One of the side line hobbies I do is collect Tiny Tonka's in the original packaging. Finding them locally are next to impossible, so watching auctions houses is the best bet. Should you find any in your travels, chances are I would buy them. Even if they are doubles. Singles or sets.

I collect antique keys, so I made a key display modeled after the key cutting displays found in hardware stores. I started with the vintage light globe only and built the rest. It lights up and is mounted on a turntable. It will hold 168+ of my best keys.

I thought I'd post a photo of some of the Corgi Major trucks I've collected so far. When I was a kid I'd get 10 bucks for my birthday. It'd be off to the local K-Mart which had a large display case in the toy department full of the larger Corgi Toys. I'd drive dad nuts spending about an hour agonizing what to bu...

I suspect you'd enjoy an episode from a series called "James May's Toy Stories". Season 1, episode 4 profiles Scalectrix slot cars. They travel to England to the site of the fabled Brooklands race course and decide to build a Scalectrix layout over the original track. Only problem is there are now hou...

Hey guys, Anyone enjoy listening to SW? I recently picked up a 1980 Vintage Panasonic RF4800, to kind of pick up on a old hobby I had when I was a kid. I had a old Radio Shack SW back in the 70's, with a long wire antenna outside my bedroom window stretching 100' up the yard. Man, I loved that old radio. Used to...

In playing with my SW radio's, researching stuff on the web, I've discovered something that really has me fascinated. Something I had no idea that it even existed. It's called SDR or software defined radio. Search websdr and you'll find quite a few hams that are supporting this on the web from around...
