Hi Kim long time no see over here, still see you on Gscalemad though.

Sorry guys, Brain has left the building.... long time ago

Markpierce posting a Fathers Day comment to this thread, toad & Ben replied but sad to say Brian hasnt been seen hereabouts for a couple of years now, guess he got involved in his local club group he found and dropped out of activity here. Oh Well

Love yeah Dad!

My Dad was a sailor, not a railroad fan.  Here is the cake for him today picturing his sailboat while racing (old Cruising Club class D) on San Francisco Bay in the early 1960s.  He's the one standing, and I'm crouching near the hatch, keeping an eye on the photographing boat.  Those were the days when the Northwestern Pacific still operated its ferry pier in Tiburon.

Happy Father's Day to all you Dads!

I did not realise that fathers day in the northern hemisphere was in June, it must be as our bretheren on both sides of the Atlantic agree that fathers day has just passed.

Fathers day here in the Southern hemisphere at least here in Aussieland, is the first Sunday in September, so to be fair and reasonable to all why don't we start a movement to have both days celebrated. Let the Mums or Moms look after themselves.

YEA! I'm in!

Vic,
I dunno' what to say....except thanks eh. This really is the World's Greatest Hobby. Glad everyone can enjoy it across the net. BTW I kept my cool behind the wheel with all those ponies. WAYYYY too much money riding on the pavement. It would take a couple of my homes to replace it! Besides I'll be knocking on their door again next year. Later eh...Brian.

Hey Vic,
No problem at all. Go for it! I personally have never been on there. Will have a peek if you show me where. Later eh...Brian. [8D]

Vic,
Sorry about the ZIP file. I had no idea that was how it was sent. Shows how much I know about computers. Thought it was like all the rest. Oooops. The kids found the height alright on the trailer. Their dads would hoist up the really small ones and some stood with their feet inside the rims. Need stanchions next year also. One kid was throwing bark at the track while his dad watched. Learning as we go. Stuff like that does'nt bother me much otherwise we would'nt do it. Later eh...Brian.

[vsmith]

Happy B-day Larry[:D] Hope you didnt eat ALL the cake[;)]

Hey Brian,

Finally got your pic's to a computer that didnt need 20 minutes to open your ZIP file...That is a terrific way to display a garden RR. Hope it wasnt too high for the kids to enjoy. I think you might have found a new way to do your show each year. Vic.

Really enjoyed the pictures, thanks. Everyone that I've showed them to was also impressed by what you've done, great job.

Hey Walt,
Like I said before....it was pure fun! Very much looking forward to next year! Was giving this some thought while on my last roadtrip. It sure would be a great way for a club to promote Garden RR'ing. Would'nt have to be a semi trailer. Any long trailer would do. Then you could set up at fairs or community events. Some sort of tent or canopy would be nice to keep the rain off. But then would it be an indoor or outdoor layout???[;)] Thanks again for showing it around. Later eh...Brian. [8D]

Hey Brian,
Got your photos, they were great.....job well done!
I printed them all up and showed them at a club members open house on Sat. You would have blushed at all the compliments our club members were giving your awesome production. Your grain elevator was also a big hit with every one who saw the photos.

OLDer DAD

Larry,
OLDerDAD??? Was it your birthday perhaps??? Now I'm blushing is right. Mark from SPJRR emailed me on the photos. Thanks so much for sharing them with everyone there! Plan on coming back to town in August so we hope to catch one of the clubs open houses. Would be great to meet a few members. Glad you liked the pics. Won't have too much time the next while for working on the elevator as my yard is in serious need of attention. Lot's of projects as always. Later eh...Brian.[8D]

Matt,
Glad you liked them. Now you know who I am eh! Even with the messed up hair and all. I think I got 3 hours of sleep the night before. After we were all cleaned up and had taken the truck and trailer back I treated the family to The Keg for steak. I could barely stay awake at dinner! All in the name of Large Scale...Later eh...Brian. PS...Clicked on the email link so anyone who wishes photos can just email me.

Hi Brian,

Larry,
Coming from you that is a real compliment! PICS ARE IN GUYS!!! Sent them off this morning. To those of you requesting pics here on the forum please put your email address into your previous post and I will forward pics asap. The email on this forum does not allow for attachments. Later eh...Brian.

Brian, I had suspected that you were one of the good guys before I meet you. Now that we have meet face to face I KNOW you are one of them. Keep-on with what your doing it seems to be working.
