 Good Morning Everyone,a "dull" day again, just gray and awkward. Nothing specific to do than the regular household chores and job-hunting in the internet. Economy is still pretty much down over here, so there are only few opportunities. I still have more than 20 open applications, with no answers, yet. Chloe, I´ll have my regular French breakfast - cafe au lait and 2 croissants, with two kinds of jam and butter, please. I´ll stay here at the RC to watch who drops by.I ordered the stuff for my benchwork, but the folks gave me a call yesterday evening. Shipping cannot be made by regular service, so the charge is an additional $ 75 instead of the $ 12 as stated on their web page [tdn]. I canceled my order with them and will go to my local "Baumarkt" (Home Depot). I need my friends station wagon to haul it away, so I will talk to him tonight. Could even speed things up a little... [:)]Jerry - that hopper sure looks a little oversized - is it S scale? Joe - Blind dates? Now, just about everybody thinks they are awkward, but still they happen. Take your time - finding the partner for life is not easy. I was 27 when I met Petra, just by incident. I had just split up with a girl in France, after 3 years of "going steady". On the way home from Paris on that very day we split up, I suddenly got hungry, stopped at a pizza place and the waiter dumped a pizza on my lap. That pizza was meant for a girl sitting next to me - Petra. 6 weeks later we got engaged and are now married for over 25 years [8D]. when I saw her, I knew, she´d be the right one for me.John - I wonder, where you get all those pictures from - burning trestles, toppled locos. I hope you are no re-enacting those accidents on your layout [swg] I like your clock. The loco on it is a German Railway class 01.10 3 -cyl. Pacific, built in the late 1930´s and re-boilered in the 1950´s. Some of them were converted to oil-firing, but this one not. They had about 2.300 hp and a top speed of 90 mph.When built, they looked like this:<img src="http://www.hfkern.de/Vorbild/D01_1089.jpg" mce_src="http://www.hfkern.de/Vorbild/D01_1089.jpg" width="650" height="441">  I took a picture of my "train room":<img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020074.jpg?t=1270795580" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020074.jpg?t=1270795580" width="1024" height="768">The layout will find its place right above the desk with the laptop just fitting underneath it. That horrid lamp will have to go - I will mount a lamp underneath the benchwork to light up my workplace. As you can see, I still have to fit those floor boards to the wall - a job I don´t like very much - too old for crawling on the floor [:D]You all have a safe day!
