Good Morning All: First an apology to Siberianmo: [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by siberianmo Teffy [quote]QUOTE: siberianmo: You are going to enjoy John and Fergie's layouts. I envy you, getting to see the development on John's layout and the work on Fergie's. You'll also get to see and hear the "pink panther". The Canadian hospataity is out of this world, I got a chance to meet and visit with them this past fall when we were on vacation and went to Halifax. Back to the guys in the coffee shop LETS VOTE ON siberianmo's NEW NAME SO IT'S SOMETHING SHORT. You know something like Bob, Tim, Flip, Ed, or Tim. [/quote] Teffy - WHOA - hold it - PULEEZE! This is progressing way too fast for me. Yes, I am going to Bedord (Halifax) in May - and yes - we have family there - and yes, we are arriving by VIA Rail (always, is there any other way???!!!) - and yes, I'd love to have the opportunity to personally meet (as in have a cup of coffee, etc.) with "the guys," but nothing has been firmed up! WHOA. Okay - now - my name is TOM as in T-O-M (something short, as you pointed out!) So let's not rename me - Tom has worked for nearly 67 years - MO Tom would be acceptable - as would Tom MO - but PULZEEZE don't confuse me anymore than I already am. You are right about Canadian hospitality - I get it everyday - Mrs. Siberianmo is a Canadian AND now a naturalized U.S. citizen - best of both worlds. On a different note - I've uploaded some photo's on my railimages site .... take a look! Good night all .........[/quote] I'M SORRY, I didn't mean to stroke an open wound - wont happen again. Bridge Tom: I do like the scenery on your layout, all I have is the plywood prairie. Do the cats give the trains much trouble? I've done a Campbell thru timber bridge and I'm getting ready to do a curved trestle for the branch line. Steve: I like your diesel loco in the river - a good place for them. I just might try that in one of my rivers with a freight car. Lilrob: We'll be expecting you when Ed and Paul get here. Ga Tom: Did you see the creeper in MR just last month or so? I have a roll around chair but that one looks a lot nicer. I've got a creeper left over from the shop days and I'm thinking about building one of these. Sorry to hear about Louise being under the weather, seems like you guys haven't been doing to well this winter healthwise. Luct: [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by luct Good evening all. Starting to feel much better, just in time because is showing symptoms of a hernia in the groin area. ouch!!!!!! ...[/quote] That hurts just thinking about it, but at least it's fixable. Thanks for the "Mud Puddles" that was nice. Ed: [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by egmurphy [quote]QUOTE: Luc: "he doesn't look like an Ed, more like a Andy"[/quote] I probably look more like myself without the beard................ I also look younger (somewhat) and thinner (if you squint). But Fran likes the beard...[/quote] About 16 years ago I had a beard that was about 7 or 8 inches long as I was a port engineer and worked outside all the time, it kept my face warm in the winter. When I left that job I kept the beard. When I decided to shave it off I had the barber do it as my face was so tender. When I came back to the shop neither my employees nor Stephanie reconized me. We had a lot of fun with people for about a week. Stephanie said it felt strange to kiss a smooth face, she was like Fran - she liked the beard. Duke: [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bjdukert ... I have some questions for anyone intrested as to plywood thickness,thinking 5/8,and when I get ready to wire is it a good idea to have an amp meter and a voltage meter,even with DCC??? Duke [/quote] I don't know what scale your in but I'm in Horriably Oversized and I use 3/4"plywood and am very happy with it. I have it braced every 24" to 32" and it's strong enough to hold me and I weigh 212#'s. A voltmeter is nice but a 12 volt light will work just as well in the beginning and it's a lot cheaper. Mo Jim: [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by JimRCGMO ...Hey Fergie, Teffy and all the other steam fans here - got a question for you. I have one saddle tanker (0-6-0T) I’m going to use as a (very) local/yard switcher, and I have an Athearn SW1500 (aka SW7, or I may try to convert it to a 1200). But I want one other steam engine, possibly for a small road engine. Bear in mind that I’m modeling a 1950’s (ca. 1959) transition era, a small branch/short line that buys there engines secondhand from other/bigger lines (e.g., SP, ATSF, and others), and is set (sort of) in the Southwest/Four Corners area. So with all that in mind, are there candidates for my steam engine choice which would definitely fit - and which manufacturers make such *affordable* dragons (preferably in the under $150 range)? This inquiring mind wants to know. ...And Ed, have you gone to an eye doctor for that squinting problem? [}:)] ...Jim in Cape Girardeau [/quote] I'm partial to 2-8-2's as their were more of them made then any other wheel configuration. They are a little bit <s>beefefer </s> stronger then the 2-8-0's due to the bigger fireboxes. What brand is the 0-6-0T? I have an article from an old MR about super detailing a Mantua. You're right, Ed needs to go to the eye doctor. HA HA HA ***: You may regret that carpet while construction is under way, I laid vynel flooring (cheap and light colored) with the idea of laying carpet later. I can't believe that I've spent two hours on this reply. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
