Platinum15Ti Posted February 23, 2015 at 09:08 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 at 09:08 PM Myself, I'm into spending time with family and friends, cars, drag racing, arcade games, and movies. I need a larger basement so I can get more games and have separate dedicated arcade and movie rooms. Here are a few photos of my current games and home theater setup. Also just picked up a Ms. Pac 100" Screen w/ HD Projector and Surround Sound Hybridbear and Rexracer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russael Posted February 24, 2015 at 02:52 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 at 02:52 AM Here's mine: http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/6781-my-other-hobby-when-im-not-getting-55-mpg-;/ I'm in to model trains too. Sadly, my old Lionel set was given away many years ago. It didn't look anything like the ones in your pictures, but it was fully automated (this is back in 1980's before track automation came out). My dad had used magnetic alarm contacts in between the O27 gauge rails with a magnet glued under the locomotive, so the target signals and crossing signals would activate appropriately. I do have a small collection of HO scale locomotives and rolling stock, but those are all packed away in storage bins and have been for many years. I don't have the room to build a layout. I also have a very small N gauge railway that I keep in a very small suitcase. My portable railroad. :) Those trains are also around 25 years old. All still works. Other hobbies include anime, manga, movies, video games (Minecraft is my current crack), and my aquarium. I'll upload some images tomorrow. I have an old 480P projector that I used to have a108" projected image too at the parent's home, but after I moved, I don't have the room for it. However, a new theater is in the plans once I upgrade my abode. I do still like using it during the summer from time to time, and project on to my garage door. :) Poor man's drive-in.

meyersnole Posted February 24, 2015 at 03:34 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 at 03:34 AM Nice game room. I had a friend who had Getaway, what a fun table. It inspired me to go out and get a table: This is my neon light: I would say my hobby is volleyball and soccer though, but enjoy my man cave.

Platinum15Ti Posted February 24, 2015 at 08:31 AM Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 at 08:31 AM Very cool, I'd like to add a few more pinballs, but the prices got crazy over the last few years. Games that you used to be able to pick up for $1,000 are anywhere from $2,500-$5,000 now. meyersnole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyersnole Posted February 24, 2015 at 03:48 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 at 03:48 PM I have had that table for about 15 years. Long enough to learn how to replace drop targets, replace lights, fix spinners,and general maintenance of the playing surface. I still need to do the grounding mod on the table to fix a glitch that happens when you play for any extended period of time (just figured out how to fix this). I only shopped for tables the once, but they were pretty popular when I was looking. I think I paid around $1,700 for that one and something with rails like getaway would have easily pushed me over two grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a local train museum/club where you can bring your trains? We built a layout in the basement of my parents' house when I was a kid, but since I moved out I don't get to run my trains very often there. Fortunately, there's a local train museum where I can run my trains. There are a handful of members who don't have a layout and home so the museum is the only place they get to run their trains.

Russael Posted February 24, 2015 at 06:24 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 at 06:24 PM If there is, I don't know of it. On occasion, I'll see an ad for a model train show, but those are mostly swaps. There is a model train system set up in the basement of a museum in Detroit, but it isn't for people to come in and run their gear. Once I can afford a place that's big enough, I will likely set up a small layout so I can break out the trains again. If I won the lottery, I'd buy a place with a massive amount of land and set up a 7 1/2" gauge (or larger) Live Steam layout to ride on. :) Hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexracer Posted February 24, 2015 at 06:56 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 at 06:56 PM besides the 2 year old, and the baby due next month..I build/race Chumpcar (endurance races in Crappy cars), just sold the ZX2 Escort, but we still have the 86 Iroc Camaro Also, because of life being busy, and the team not being able to do as many races, I picked up a 94 Corvette ZF6 for track days/Auto-X. Its a rip snorting 186k mile, driven under a chain link fence car, I have a whopping $4500 into it. For now, if I can't build it, i likely wont get it.
