Happy B-Day [bday] to laz !

Dr John, Don't think of it as being dismantled, it's going into hibernation for about eleven and a half months.Big Smile [:D]

No parties tonite, all packed to go to the museum early in the morning. We are having our wives come in and having a nice potluck lunch. I'm doing marmalade meatballs and maple wings. The champagne is on ice to be cracked open at lunch.Dinner [dinner]

Looking forward to a new pot of coffee tomorrow, although it will be late tomorrow before checking in. No matter what the name, the brew will be as good as ever. Thumbs Up [tup]

May everyone have a happy and healthy 2007. Approve [^]

Just insultaed all the sidings in the big room.  Now I can move them to one of the other ZW's.  Then I will seperate the two main lines. 

John, need you to tell me how to make the variables on the TIU to fixed.  I never used the variable ones as the DCS remote is not good for running conventionals.  I know it is in my book but I thought you could tell me [lazy me].  Also got one siding in the coal dump area with an off/on switch.  Park the little NS MTH switcher there. 

I lost all my religion on one section of track.  Would not make good connections even though I had it upside down and they were touching.  Soldered the whole section of track.  Easy to do and it worked.  Also the switch with the striped screws refused to snap back together.  Was up on top of the table and one side locked and then other refused.  I was putting all the pressure I could on it.  Finnaly it poped and went together.  No more layout work tonight.  No need to ge that mad at a toy.  [I did compare Mike Wolf with Sadam Shock [:O]]

Off to watch movies on DVD player with wife.  She is well now.

Later.

Well , I thought I'd make one last post on the "Pot" before the Chief shuts her down, looking forward to a freshly brewed pot tomorrow.

Happy B-Day [bday] Laz, Happy Birthday! Happy B-Day [bday]  Party hearty, but no big head for the younguns.  Those kids you teach are tough enough without a hangover. 

Buckeye, sorry to hear about your wife's loss.

Chief, like Dennis and some others, I too want to say thanks so much for starting this thread so we can share and enjoy each other's company.

On a side note, we went to Hagerstown , MD today to see the Christmas layout at the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum.  I had not been there in years.  CSX has torn down all the old buildings, roundhouse, etc. since the last time I was there.  It is kind of sad to see all those historic buildings gone.

I hope everyone has a great New Year.

Take care,

Mitch

Well guys, my last post on the "Old Pot", looking forward to a fresh brew, but with the same old crew hanging around to pour a cup.

Laz, Happy Birthday!, I understand you are in the prime of your life, just takes you a whole lot longer to get primedWink [;)].  Anyway, have a great day!

Buckeye, sorry to hear the news.  We will keep the family in our prayers.

Chief, thanks so much for everything, including starting this friendly thread for us to share our lives, both train and non train related.  Also, thanks for the kind present and your friendship.

On a side note, we went to Columbus, Georgia, not that place up north.  At the Target, they had one of the Lionel sets left for $174.  I got it.  It is officially for the whole family, so I have still preserved my ability to get another train for my birthday in  a few days, even with the Restriction.  Also purchased a nice table for the living room for the wife.  She is now up another $700, so I should get the same money for buying trains....right?

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and please keep it safe.

God Bless,

Dennis

Good Evening all!

  Another peachy day here in metropolitan Gormley.  It'll be a wet evening for all those partiers downtown tonight.  Here's wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.

Did a little well needed lubrication on a few of my locos today.  I've managed to bring back to life a rather neglected prewar 226E.  It's still a bit shakey but certainly running smoother than when I first bought it.  Next on the list will be a prewar 601 with bell tender and Magic Electrol.  These early diecast Lionels certainly are a curious mix of old and new techniques in construction.  The Magic Electrol ( if I understand it correctly ) was Lionels attempt to do away with the E unit, utilizing the horn button to activate direction change without a neutral position. I doubt this option was offered in too many locos before they gave up on it.  All in all though it's a kinda neat little 0-6-0 switcher

Good night and see y'az all in the new coffee pot.

OK...OK....OK  (LOL)

 

Hey Guys, Thanks ...  Please do NOT spend any more time with that schematic, I WILL get it bigger it shouldn't be that difficult.

Give me a couple of hours.

 

Roy don't waste a post, save it for tomorrow, that will be cool.

John, I will get the image bigger, didn't want to create a big email, file but I can send it in jpeg easy and you can blow it up, easy.

Your guys are great!!!

Chief ....  Big congadulations on the Coffee Pot thread,  truly inspirational,  you original guys really did a great job with it for the past two years.  Surprised doesn't offer it in a jpeg file on a cd or something.  Maybe they (CTT) should download and burn a copy and give it to the chief. 

 Got to go and blow up a schematic and send an email.
