Now that's what I call dedication.I love it enough to push a small train with my finger, in the dark of a wintry SHTF situation.
Let the world burn, I've got trains to run.

I like to roll an O-gauge freight car(s) back and forth on any of my 3-rail layouts once in awhile. 
Well, okay - I confess. Maybe even a little more often than just "once in awhile".

Takes a lot of energy to make engine, air brakes, clanging and banging noises.

I just draw on old ways, habits and antics as "Survival" skills in the modern world.
