I’m not sure that Sorting & Organizing is going to be an adequate badge for Nancy. You might need to create a World Champion Triple Platinum Elite VIP Plus Sorting & Organizing badge just for her.

When I was done selecting badges, at the top, it said “12 of 30”. I did in fact select twelve badges, but I’m…Read more

It did occur to me that a lot of the train people also buy a lot of train and model train-related memorabilia and whatnot, and there’s probably a lot of options and a lot of them are expensive.
