Quite often, I see the absolute beauty in the things that other people miss. I see rhe beauty of homemade mechanical creativity. The weird and wonderful!
i cried once when exposed to a grand model train set-up.

I cried when I saw a 7mm narrow gauge model where someone young (By the look of it) had converted a 00 gaue loco into 7mm narrow gauge and put it on Ebay, and the price was so low that it wasn't worth selling it... And to most people the creation looked a mess, but I thought it was beautiful. I LOVED it as it is. I cried as I had no money and no Ebay account. I wanted to bid ad bid to make the price go up high and then buy it if I could because I valued it so much! The fear was that someone would buy it cheap just to get the chassis and scrap the creative efforts of the builder.
I tried to get my brother to buy it for me and hoped I could find some way to pay him back but I couldn't convince him. He didn't see its value as it is.
I was just in tears as I type. It was beautiful!
