There was a recent posting titled as such in the not too distant past. Well, here is one instance of proof ;D ;D

Like Carmen Webster of Model Railroad Equipment Company New York City and Bobbye Hall of Bobbye Hall Hobby House of Dallas, Texas both were big names in the model railroad field. They just happen to be female too!

I am the one who originated that "chick magnet" business! Let me tell you, Bro; don't kid yourself-it works!

Women see a guy with a layout, they see a guy who is stable, well grounded, creative, industrious, a self-starter. They also see an emotional level that is somewhat higher than the average couch pototo, which means they can connect with you. Yessssss!!!

Beats hell out of hanging around in bars, singles dances, and coming out smelling like an ashtray. Considering all the booze you don't buy because you are "creating", one hand washes the other as far as cost goes...

Hey Red tail;
Stop whining! If you got it, use it!!! Oh, by the way; I am talking about class, style, and charm. Choo-choos aren't going to do it if you are a dud or a dullard!

I have learned a classic approach: Cook dinner. They (women) love men to cook for them. THEN.....Take them to the train room. Beats hell out of etchings. They get to run trains, and actually feel like they have discovered a unique man-and we are! The rest is eeeeeeeeeeasy.
