Actually I put it down out of courtesy... Or I just don't want them ganging up on me or awakened in the middle of the night because they fell in[:0]

I don't think she'd give a rats patootie if I did. She's happy for me but still doesn't get the attraction. Maybe she'll come around on the gardening end, she loves that!

That depends Matt, do we also get the video tape of your wife watching you cut up the locomotive you've been trying to get forever? [:D][(-D][:D][(-D]

Apparently the suppliers got my credit card # wrong and just sent it through today! DELAYS, DELAYS, I finally get to this moment in my life and some makes a mistake.[V] I was hoping to have it by the weekend!

Kevin, Yep! W&W of course which is a Cooke Mogul. I Also believe the Valve gear to be a stephenson due to last nights research.

Jack thanks! It's Been along time a coming!

[Rastun]

Congratulations Matt I'm happy for ya [:D]
Good luck with the bash.

Later

Congrats on the motive power. I'd imagine something along the lines of a W&W loco? Should be a fun project.

Later,

Vic, I am going to post the bash in a step by step if possible.
Ben, You better believe it!
Troy, your absolutely right on the picture thing, although I'm confident I can do it other then a little nervous in changing around the valve gear to look right, kinda of funny I don't even know the name of the one I'm changing it to!

[Anonymous]

Make sure you take lots of pictures Matt.
They are great to look back on.Also if it goes hideously wrong you can show people what it used to look like.
Don't mention pink hats.My daughters will want some.!

Yesterday, I ordered my 4-6-0 Bachmann for my Mogul bash! I was also able to have some prints blown up to 1:20 of the Mogul I'm modeling. I am although going to need to get some track for a test track and a small transformer temporairlly(spell) to make sure nothing binds and it runs well, then it's off to TOC for battery install. Already exchanged e-mails with him on limitations of what not to screw with so his job will be straight forward.

This is just down right exciting![:D][:D[:p]
I haven't even tyold my RR buddy(my Daughter) about it yet! She did manage to talk me into buying her a Pink enginners hat at the last GATS show.
