Got good soaking here. Tomato plants are growing [just for Jim to have good tomato sandwiches]. I have Jim's golden egg. [8D] Now that the transformers are ready and serviced, I'll do the engines. Got little test track [about ten feet long] laid out on the carpet in 1/4 empty bedroom of youngest daughter who just got married [wish she would get her stuff out]. Now I can test old stuff and the new stuff. Everyone have a good day and God bless you all.

Good Morning all,

It’s another cool and wet morning in NE Ohio. 38 deg with rain. I am glad winter is over.

Coffee is all most ready.

I think work is going to get in the way of my hobby today.

Sunny, 70 degrees in Austin...glad I'm inside in the office...! Hey Chief - since you're building a new layout I thought I'd give you somethin' to shoot for, so here's my challenge: Make yours bigger and fancier than this one and post a picture of it. Betcha' a green tomato that ya can't do it...!

Damn...days like today really make me think of the Gauge One stuff...

Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

WOW, good pictures this AM. Hey Jim, I have sent you emails from the forum and no response. You getting them? Jim [looks like Santa with trains] Duda. [:D] That man can play on computer and trains at the same time. Tom, never been too interested in the General. If I got one, I'd have to start the Civil War all over and us Rebs would bet you Yanks.

Frank - I just sent myself an e-mail from the forum to see if the company's SPAM filters might be stopping them. The address shown is correct so try sending me one using your e-mail client and not through the forum.

Kinda hard to do. Your profile does not give email address. You'll have to send me one. feagles1@nc.rr.com

I'll play trains but the war is not over until the Yanks surrender and admit they love grits and sweet ice tea. [:D] WOOW, that is a little high for my blood right now. Remeber, I've got to rebuild layout and I'm on retiree income.
