    My gosh. I can appreciate the gravity of this moment. An emotion so honestly voiced in your words. We seldom take the time to communicate the value of our work in this hobby in terms of our own emotional investment and what our works means to each of us. I’m proud of you for embracing that here. There’s this instinct to quickly move away from right now but it’s okay to stay here and feel for this.

    I feel for you, friend. Years ago I was excitedly carrying a bin of trains down to the basement, and I foolishly thought I could carry it one handed like a platter over my head. Well, it fell and several items were broken. I was very cross about it for quite awhile and couldn't forgive myself for not being more careful. What compounds the issue is that as we get older, we drop things and trip more often. While it might take a little time to get back in the swing again, I will be looking forward to your next video. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and I'll have you know I greatly enjoy your layouts. Be well.

    I can see your pain. Having the centerpiece get damaged can be a real letdown. Step back for a bit and take a break. Use those hours on your runs to clear your mind and re-energize. Keep your chin up, and we'll be here when you're ready to get back to it.

    As we say in Britain, worst things happen at sea! No point crying over spilt milk!
    You know that, your British. When you get knocked down, you get up again.
    Buy a new wagon to replace the broken one. Make or buy some cradles to carry and protect your stock.
    As Churchill said, " we shall never surrender to mishaps in railway modelling"
    Onwards and upwards!

    Sorry brother.
    Turn off the lights. Close the door and go upstairs. June is here (almost). Partake in summer and leave this for the season. The best part of model railroading, is that it’s always there waiting for you when you are ready again. Your fans will understand. Even chocolate cake gets old after the fourth piece. Maybe this is a sign of a greater plan.
    We’ll meet again on the other side!

    It's a terrible shame when a single incident like this puts the dampers on a hobby, and I can only sympathise. It sounds crass but you'll pull through and pick up the craft knife again, hopefully. It's perfectly understandable if things go quiet for a bit, and we'll be here if and when you decide to come back.
    Cheers from Bristol, England

    Ahh, so sorry to hear of this mishap Ian. The Atlas O coil car is a bit delicate, I broke a few details on mine just getting it out the box, you have my deepest sympathy. It's a nice short car by US standards too, ideal for a Micro.
    I do hope it's not the end of your US O Scale journey though.
    All the best, Jordan F., England.

    I found one in ebay, a southshore freight coil car

      I think I see the one you’re talking about. A three rail version? I could just swap out the truck and couplers and be good to go

    • @stoffe64

      YES I Guess that would work perfectly, i did not realise that you run 2 rail but change of the trucks would not be so Difficult

    A change is as good as a rest, do something different and comeback to it later. Take care.
