Last night was quite the embarrassment for me. My Florida Grandparents are here for a while, and I was showing them my HO Scale Bombardier Bi-Level Cab Cars, especially the one they knew well, Tri-Rail 507, and then, they asked about the others, which I went right ahead to do, and then... SNAP! Altamont Corridor Express 3301 has its bell break right in my hand, right in front of their eyes. Its bell had been loose for a while, but I was hoping it would just peacefully slip out of its socket like my Metrolink 608 and 615 did. But nope, the bell literally broke with one piece still mounted. I just need to not lose the broken bell this time. 3301 was a gift from my California Grandfather who passed away last year, so that meant 3301 was even more than a Scale Unit to me. Still, Thank Arceus that it wasn’t 507 that broke...

If you’re curious of the cars back there, I keep Rubber Tire Chick on the floor there since my storage closet doesn’t like Rubber Tire cars, and all my shelves are occupied or reserved for other cars. I left NASCAR Ryan and NASCAR Chase there too since I had no other space, and I decided to keep Normal Ryan and Normal Chase on my Next-Gen Shelf.
