I had a friend when I was growing up whose family had a huge farm in New Hampshire, and his great uncle (I think) put together a model steam railroad.

Now I realize that he was one of the New Hampshire libertarian types who tinker with machines to keep their mechanical and shooting skills honed for when the government collapses and they have to build and defend Libertopia.George F.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04198363103575085084noreply@blogger.com
