Train Enthusiasts do not use The Internet

Oh Yeah, I went there. Things are about to get real up in this blog.

Let's all get in the Way Back Machine and go all the way to the beginning. All the way to this morning.

I've been thinking about the clock from a few posts back. I've been thinking of how bad I want it, but also been thinking that I can not even imagine a scenario in which I would pay $100 for a clock. So as a crafty lady, decided I would try to make it. Clocks are easy to get, I can pain that background, the hardest part would be finding the figurines. Little did I know how hard it would be to find those ridiculous figures! Thanks to my dad, I know they are N or HO Scale, meaning ridiculously small.

For the past few hours I have been googling any and all phrases I can think of to describe these little dancers. There is nothing. Even the basic websites,which are few, have nothing. This leads me to my theory: Train enthusiasts do not use the internet. Ebay is the only thing that has shown any results, yet not any that I need.

Here's my thought process: Train enthusiasts are, for the most part, old. Old people tend to shy away from internet, some old farts even thinking "Bah, that internet. It won't stick. Now let me eat my oatmeal." Therefore, train enthusiasts do not use the internet.

Next move is to actually go to a train hobby store. Yikes. I'm afraid to go in. I'm not sure they even allow people under the age of 50 in those places. I'm really not sure if they allow the female species in there.

All I want is a freaking clock.
