Tom Green spent his time away from work on his hobby, model trains. His train set was very large and consisted of rare and one-of-a-kind trains. One day, while visiting with a fellow train hobbyist Harry, Tom said, “When I retire in two years from Grocery, I’m going to sell my trains and spend the rest of my years traveling on real trains.” Tom then told Harry that he was the only person he planned to offer his trains to because he knew Harry would take good care of them. Harry said he looked forward to the day when he could buy the trains. Harry then spent the next two years and most of his savings building a new 2,000 sq. ft. room onto his house to make room for the trains. When Harry told Tom that he was building the new room, Tom just smiled. Tom also heard that Harry had borrowed money from his aunt to buy the trains. When Tom retired, he sold his trains to David. Harry sued Tom claiming breach of contract, or in the alternative, for promissory estoppel. Who wins? Explain your answer.

I’m thinking about starting a new hobby. I like trains so I was thinking of buying a train set and laying it out in my garage. I’m new to this hobby and I’ve been searching on the internet to find which trains to buy and I’ve noticed some sites use the term "Model Trains" while others use "Toy Trains" and "Toy Model Trains". I’m just curious if there is a difference between these three or do they all mean the same thing?

Thanks

I have modeled HO scale since i was little, no thanks to my dad and brother. Anyway, I want to paint two different rooms in my house the same color scheme as the BN (green, black, white), and another room the same as Santa Fe (silver, red, yellow). So does anyone know how I would find a match for exact colors as the real thing only in house paint colors? I hope that is all clear enough. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I want to build a landscape with trains and slot cars but I need to know some basics. What do the different sizes of trains mean(HO ect.). What is a good website for all of the stuff and how do I start? Thank so for your help.
