Dang! I'm still at work, I'd love a doubleshot of decent Scotch right now  :sad:

If you ever need a great disguise for a trap door, secret room, or escape tunnel, this would be a great one. Simply open the case, play the first three bass notes on Baba O'Reily, and the wall spins around.

Well............ ;)

I do have a reputation uphold here, but in this case the location of the *fun devices* ( yes I have a Cat o'Nine tails and many other "toys")
is the upstairs bedroom - The cellar is The Nasty Habits rehearsal space and my model train building desk.
I really decided to have the case built after a co worker suggested it....He said " you spend all that money and time with them ( the basses) and you love playing so much how can you not want to show them off? It's definately meant as a changeable display, tho I'll keep the more $$$ basses upstairs :)




You are a (wo)man of eclectic tastes, Mark! Way to go!

That said, I always had a hunch that all model train collectors lead a secret, alternative life!  :mrgreen:

Before working in lighting I spent about 6 years behind the counter at one of Seattle's bigger train shops, I'm pretty well known - but not as Fraulein Rommel ;D

Would that be the one near (north of) Qwest and Safeco Fields?  I remember seeing one there, on a visit some years back.

That was "The Electric Train shop" run by a former co-worker of mine, he's since moved it to West Seattle - Good thing too, a cut and fill tunnel to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct is being built right thru that very location.
I worked for Express Station Hobbies, very near Southcenter, not far from where I presently work for Seattle Lighting.

As overheard in a Seattle toy shop:

"Now Sir, will that be Märklin or Fleischmann I shall crush for you with my stilettos? Make up your mind, schnell, schnell, we don't have all day!!!"

I'm sure that there is some pithy comment available here about "being behind the counter before coming out of the closet" but I'm not really up to working it out right now.  :)

I think we should exercise discretion rather than ask Uwe HOW he found that particular fetish site.  :o

She would have to trample a 1/72 Pearl Harbor display wearing a Dirndl and screaming "Tora, tora, tora!" for me to find it particularly alluring/arousing ... Ax(i)s(ex) Powers you know ...  :-[ :-[ :-[

I'm sure if we googled "model trains and sex with juvenile animals" we'd strike rich too ...  :mrgreen: ;)
