Just checking in briefly. I'll be on the road early in the morning. Don't know when I'll be on the computer next.
Cheers.

Just to take my mind off of it I made up new valve linkage for my Mantua 0-6-0T Had to mix the stock basic set with a full set from a Mantua Prarie. Turned out pretty sweet! I don't remember the rivots being as small as they were though.
Cya guys in the morning,,,SWMBO gave me some pill,,,,,now I'm soooooo sleeppy

I think I actually had a good nights sleep for once in the past 3 1/2 years.
Why?
1) Found out my truck was not in as bad a shape as I thought (sticky lifters and needed a new intake gasket).
2) Was told today that my job status is going from temp to permanent (full time......or is it in my case Fool time?) along with a 5 dollar and hour pay increase.
Now I don`t have to worry so much about my next paycheck.......and maybe I can buy a house at the end of this year or early next year......basically just something to cover the big basement with

Evening All,
Sitting here watching Ziva.
Today I raked another bag of leaves, trimmed the bushes, vacuumed the house, and wait for it...cleaned the track on my layout. Tomorrow I have grocery shopping then I am going to try to shoot a video of all the changes on my layout.
Monday the high temp in Orlando was 87 F, and by Friday the high is supposed to be only 61 F. I just love the weather here.
Todd- Have a safe trip.
Garry- Thanks for the info.
Ulrich- I pray that this time works for your family. You need some relief.
Ray- Very nice scenery work.
I hope everybody that has the cold/flu feels better very soon.
Hope everyone has a good night and prayers for those in need.

All right, 90% alcohol does the trick. Oh yes and boy oh boy does that 400 grit sandpaper do the job on the rails Long way to go yet but I can see how the "gleaming" idea is really going to work. Wouldn't you know it, just got rid of a set of stainless steel cutlery. MOH doesn't seem all that keen on me cutting up one of the new SS spoons. Guess I'll have to go buy 1 at Bed Bath & Beyond or find some SS washers
Well back to the sanding.....

Evening guys
Took the dogs to the vet, no issues with them. Except for the bill... $137 bucks, but my folks are going to pay me back.
Train vs. Car dilema: My father found a set of TFS head on sale for $745 shipped, only needs 3 rocker arms. The numbers put them on par with my father's modfied edelbrocks, and they haven't been ported. The downside is they are iron. I'm debating wheter to get those or some more train cars. My engine with explorer heads is already going to be around 320-350 rwhp and 380-410 torque. Those TFS heads could add anywhere from 30 to 70 horses...
Ken, Got the kato motor installed in the P1K F3 that had a bum motor. Found one issue though, the kato motor is slightly longer than the P1K's original. So with the end plates for the motor, it fits snug. Which is good cause I'm out of foam tape and can't find the other rubber mount. I tested it with a 9 volt and it runs pretty good off of it.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
jeffrey-wimberlyIf you have solder stuck to the top of the rail just heat it and wipe it off with a cloth as Lion said.
No, solder stuck to the rail head isn't the problem. It's the sticky residue left over from the flux. I'll see what 90% alcohol does.
chochowillieOk, I'm having a heck of a time removing soldering flux from my rails where I soldered joints, feeders etc. Can't seem to get the stick stuff off. What should I be using oh ye persons with all powerful knowledge?

And it needs to go away why? You should be able to rub it off of the top and inside of the running rail with a cloth. Will paint stick to it? No, probably not, but then to you really want a uniform paint job? Rails need to look like they belong on a railroad, warts, stains and all.
A problem to electrical pick up can be addressed if not by a cloth then by a pumice stone or track cleaner of that sort of ilk.
Or you can just run trains with 48 wheel power pick up.

Morning all.
Sun's shining, wife's happy, dog isn't on fire, looks to be a good day in the making! Got another twelve feet of track laid in the Racetrack this morning. Not bad for an hour's work.

Streamlined steam, oh, what a dream!!
Mornin'..... Ah.... hmmmm. Appears to be afternoon already, and since I already had my old Phart cereal a few hours back, I guess another refill of the dark roast Kona coffee would suit me for the moment, Zoe.
Gary, I don't know about germs, but viruses sure can.....
i was just getting ready to check out the forum when the phone rang this morning. My son wanted me to watch granddaughter #2 while he ran some errands in Geneva. I never mind playing with the granddaughters, so i told him to bring her over. Then i got to looking at the foot and a half pile of snow at the end of the driveway and figured i might better start the gas burner and blow the heavy wet stuff out of the way. Amazingly the old girl fired up on the 5th. or 6th. pull (usually have to pull the spark plug and hit it with starting fluid) and I cleaned off the pile on the deck most of which was from stuff that slid off the metal roof and the solar panels. I used to have a long ramp for moving sound equipment from the spare bedroom in the house out to the trailer when needed. That got recycled last summer, so I have been using the much shorter ramps left from when i sold the trailer to be able to get the snowblower on and off the deck. I should have been smarter tghis morning and as I went down the ramp I slipped on the ice and landed rather hard on my rear end. Lucky nothing appears to be broken, but I will have some very sore muscles for a while. Major backache at the moment! Did get the driveway cleared right before my son arrived. Spent a few more minutes pulling the white stuff off the solar panels so they could get back to w*rk.
I have several projects needing to get done today, and unfortunately most do not include playing with trains...
Catch you all later!

The coupler conversions on all the FP7's are done. The front and rear couplers (all center shank Kadee's) are spot-on with the Kadee coupler height gauge. Now I can relax for a while.
