Good Evening All: Would you believe that all of our motels are full, they've started evacuating New Orleans and a lot of the people are here and others are having to go on into Houston. [#welcome] Paul: Be careful what you invite me to do because I'm close to you. I'm eleven miles south of Beaumont. We, Mrs "T" and I, are taking a vacation to see the fall colors and she wanted to see Nova Scotia so we're going to make it a Model Railroad trip and visit some of the guys on the forum. My dad was building a live steam 4-6-2 when he died. I don't remember the scale but it wasn't as big as the one at Zube park in Houston Ed (egmurphy) and I are having a contest to see who can complete the railroad first and I've got him now because when the first circle is done the train running gets in the way of work. His layout is on a hollow core door and mine is in a 13' X 15' room. You've got to watch him and John, they think that their scale is Normal and ours is Horrably Oversized. This is a nice place to go to and sometimes we even talk about Model Railroading. [quote]QUOTE: origionally posted by Ed Dan – G&G is still around. They’re only a few blocks from Papa Ben’s. But they only have some trains, it’s not their major suit. I did get some scratch building supplies and stuff there when we were in town in the summer. The MRC powerpack that I still have and use has a G&G tag on the box. Must have bought it there when I was just getting into N in Houston back in 1983. [/quote] G & G is still a nice place to go they have a lot of the nicky, nacky - briky, braky little detail parts that are smaller the the pictures so you don't know if that's what you're really buying. I did get your e-mail and I probably should have used that form of communication to express my thoughts also. Mrs. "T" has run me to Winnipeg about seventeen times for a festival called Folklarama which is a heritage festival and they use the curling courts for the venues. Our local guide has instructed me on curling for many years. Since I've never done it, it looks easy but you know how that goes. Wiggles and jerks are ok because each one can be fixed. Just be glad that the power goes all the way around. How does one get Ed from egmurphy? Does the "G" turn into a "D" upon translation (SP) or crossing the border? John: Did you see that quote? IT WORKED JUST LIKE YOU TOLD ME TO DO IT. I'M SO PROUD. You better be careful - a little learning is a dangerous thing. jwaldo:[#welcome]: We're open 24/7 jump in and have fun, just don't wear your feeling on your sholder. Fla/Phil: Hears a good Bear story for you. I had a charter to the Dallas/Chicago game in big D many years ago. The charter party had one ticket left over and they gave it to me. I'd spent 6 1/2 hours driving up and was going to have to drive home so I thought I'd sell my ticket. Some idiot paid me one hundred dollars for it and I went to sleep. At half time someone was beating on the side of the bus to get in, the Cowboys were behind some thing like 36 - 0. I went into the stands at the end of the third quater and almost 90% of the seats were empty. I got to sit on the 50 yard line and see the end to a misarible (SP) game. That makes for a long drive/ride home. Tom: Sorry about you not getting to go to Chattanooga it's the pitts sitting around waiting for a repair man. For the prices thay charge they ought to give us a time and then stick to it. But this is the real world. Well I'm like the others I've got to go to bed. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
