Good Afternoon,
A sunny, cool day here as in about 40F with a cold NW wind. I did manage to mow the front lawn which will likely be the last time.
This morning I went to the annual train show. I didn't buy anything but did enjoy looking and talking to a couple of guys I know. Generally prices were way too high for a lot of stuff I would put in give away category. I did come across a NIB PK2 SW8 in CN colours but it was DC and I just sold off a similar unit. If it had been a S4 I would have purchased it as I still would like one of those for the layout. I have decided to sell off a couple more of my N scale locos, a MP Pacific and an Intermountain F7. If I had the B unit I would keep the F7 but I don't so out it goes. I'll be down to 8 locos on that layout.
Ulrich, sorry to hear of your news.
Well time for tea and I think I'll run a train. I have a little work train made up behind the Hog( CN jargon for a Consolidation).
See you next month, somewhere.

Ed ..... THANKS !
I suggest people board an L&N train or a SOU train from KY or TN origins. They can ride to Cincinnati, and then ride connecting trains to New England.
I'll be on the L&N Hummingbird to Cincy..... From there, PRR, NYC, or B&O will get me started to a northern city with a conecting train to New England.
A BIG THANK YOU to all who visited KY an TN in September !

Ed, thanks for volunteering, I really didn't want to do it.

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
CNCharlieSee you next month, somewhere.
I'm leaning toward North Conway, New Hampshire.
Pretty much centrally located to all of New England, it has a rich railroad history and is a small town with a big town feel.

Close to Mt. Washington, Woodstock, Maine two-footers, fresh seafood at the Cape. Not to mention great fall colors.

Flo, gang and I will have a and give Ulrich, Rick and Steven what they want.
Still felt today. Spent most of the day laying in bed with the wife and Sparkie watching DYI shows on remolding houses. Why would some one spend $800,000 on a house and not have a house inspection done? OK, it is a TV show so they had to add some drama.
Daughter brought over some over the counter iteams that help's her with breathing problems. Sharon has asthma and get's Bronchitis a lot. She had a bad cases of Bronchitis when Sue had her knee replaced and is still fighing it off and on. More than likely I caught what ever I have from her and not the cleaning I had been doing.
Ed Thank you for moving the dinner, guess I won't need a crash helemt this month.
Later, Ken
