Ok, I got tired of hearing nothing but grits at the Pot . So, I came up with my own version. Talk about trains, yourself, somebody else, or whatever suits you.

Exactly Keith! This thread took off in just under an hour! Frank, come on over and talk about the reedeeming qualities of fastrack... oops I mean tubular, and postwar lionel!!!
Yes, Bob K, grits and coffee (with plenty of sugar and cream ) go good together!!!

Which is better yall, MTH... or Lionel!!!
Better to talk about Grits than to talk about SCRAPPLE wrong forum. Have eat both scrapple and grits.....ok but not a big fan of either. What we need is a crave case from white castles and some of thier coffee great to soaber up on
You do know that the caboose was made obsolete by FRED and his EOT
Ok, just to make sure all of yall is understanding, the "Caboose" in this case is a analogy of the coffee pot, it represents that. The "caboose" does not represent anything but just random talk about trains and people. Its like you come over to the caboose in my backyard and talk.

Just to clearify F.R.E.D = Flashing rear end device and E.O.T= End of Train so I was talking about trains and making fun at the same time.
Isn't there a caboose thread on the OGRe website? Watching South Park reruns since the wife and kids are out right now - boys are trying to lose a baseball game so the season will end, but the other team has the same plan! Ha - who will "win" this one?
"Morgan - don't swing only if it's a strike!"
This is funny, because it's true. When I was in 7th grade, we had a coach who decided the season had gone long enough. We were one game out, so he took out the first string and put in all the benchwarmers about the 5th inning. That was that.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Jest came int to say hi....
HI!
Don't cha just love a smart aleck??

As long as you dont talk about grits, any track user or train user is allowed.

Not even if you used dried grits for track ballast?
OK Grayson...You've blasted with the white stuff, I wouldn't say long enough, but for a good bit, I'm sure more will follow... Notice I didn't say G... almost.
So, what's on your mind. It's your thread... What do inquiring minds want to know?

Good Morning Kurt, whats on my mind? Nothing really, besides I hope this thread gets as popular as the Pot.... . Well, seriously its going to the hobby shop today as well as outback for lunch. . We need a good topic to get this thread going, maybe somebody can create one, Im out of topics, tubular and fastrack is now gone, everybody hates arguments about it.....
The pot is a lot like watching Seinfeld. Much ado about nothing, but the chit-chat keeps everyone together.
I'm looking into some structures, and was pondering brass. I haven't seen much of this, but it seems to be interesting. Weaver has a water tower and a yard tower I like. Any idea what the advantages/disadvantages are?
Also I am starting on the Christmas Layout, and I need to make a 54"R gider tressle with only 4-5 supports to go around the tree, 30-inches above the floor w/ tubular track 'cause I still want it to look like a toy train around the tree, and I need room to put the presents under/around.
I'm waffling about steel, brass or laminated and bent wood strips, but haven't quite arrived at a final idea. I don't have a metal shear, but I can bend a 54"R circle easy enough, and I'll work out the web stiffeners either way.
Thoughts?

............................................................ Ok Kurt, aint you like a ex-architect now? Asking all these question that you should be answering youself??? just kidding Kurt, I have no Idea how to do any of that, guess I need to go to the model train college, maybe somebody will come along and help you with that.
So, lets talk about the advantages and disadvantages of tubular and fastrack..... I mean the quality of Lionel made, MTH diesels and steam wouldent still be ticking after 60 years for poswar and 80 years for prewar like Lionel's are.
Good morning guys,
Well the plan for the day for me is more packing and moving some items over to the new house. The wife has off today and will be doing some cleaning. I can't wait to get moved in and start on the new train layout.

Brass structures are nice but very $$$$. Do you plan on buying or building your structures?

Possibly both. Brass Yard Tower by Weaver (Purchase). Construct a Girder trestle with strip brass. (Build if practical)
What's the big advantage in brass?
has anyone added or worked on their layout lately?
