Winter time model building thread.
DA,
I feel your pain, and I'm sorry for the loss. My loss from the same manner, was about a year after my Mom passed, (The fire, was sort of a blessing) BUT to this day, no one knows what happen. I'm 700 miles away, And I had the electric turned off (first thing) after her funeral.....We think, that someone got mad, (my younger brother) and he did it, as all his stuff was out of the home place by then, I had stuff there and was helping my mom with the taxes and such so....BUT I lost quite a bit to say the least, Was stuff, I just didn't get too, as every trip back, a truck load came with (Uhaul) I didn't own the big Power Wagon, then so.....Besides it would have still ben cheaper to run the Uhaul then the Power Wagon....LOL
But as I was going to and returning a load came with and those models, were the next trip back too! As I'd set up things as they were to head home to New Hampshire.....
It sucks, I still regret certain things, I had so much still to come (about 3 small Uhaul loads....) But....you win some, and you loose some.....I did get everything else tho..... the more important stuff.
If we had a fire now, I'd loose one HUGE Model Railroader collection! I got every years from 1934 to 1968, then its missed a couple years and restarted in 1971 and runs all the way to 1998, and then a couple missing years and restarts again in 2002 and goes to 2012, I didn't get any 2013 year and maybe a single issue in 2014. I myself am a model railroader on break, that will bedoing both in the near future....
