The last time I suggested that, she told me if we did a better job of managing our taxes so that we either paid in a little or were as close to $0 as we could, we could use the money we earned through the year to buy train stuff instead of giving the government an interest free loan and then getting excited that they were giving it back to us as a "refund". (She is right by the way!) The new railroad is being built as we speak.

Well picked up my locomotive last night at my dealers house and ran it on his layout... runs and sounds great and had no problem pull 13 loaded coal hoppers up his 1 1/2 % grade so I am very happy with it.
