Evening Zoe, I guess I'll try one of those RBFs you guys are making famous... Yup, now I see why everyone is ordering them! On my project, the masonite spline assembly is slow work, but I'm very happy with the end product. I heard about this idea from Jim Reising's website (Thanks again, Jim!). I completed the staging level loop tonight. Left to do on this level is the subroadbed for the staging yard on the North wall. Homasote roadbed is on order, as is some sample track pieces. I am
Mornin' all, just coffee, Chloe. I'd order an RBF, but after doing some research, it does not sound very appetizing: RBF - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia RBF is a three-letter abbreviation that may refer to: R. Buckminster Fuller Reel Big Fish, a ska-punk band Radial basis function Rassemblement Bruxelles-France Round-bottom flask, a piece of laboratory glassware Raw Binary File, a file format used by Altera for programming electronic devices Remove Before Flight Renal blood flow Big
Mornin' Chloe! A short stack of buttermilk pancakes and some black coffee for me today. I'll be at the counter reading the paper. Got caught up with work, but need to run to the orifice depot to pick up some office supplies. Other than that, I'll be working on the subroadbed project later today and this weekend. Looks like it's about time for a homabed order! Happy Friday the 13th, and prosperity and good health to all!
I've seen some photos of Shays pulling 15-20 loaded log cars. The grade they must climb will obviously be important in determining the maximum.
Excel is a good choice. I use Access, but I am an old IT guy.
To expand on my previous post a bit, if you just want to keep track (inventory) then Excel is just fine. It's user-friendly and great for keeping and sorting lists of stuff. The reason to use a database is if you wish to do any processing or specialized forms using the data rather than just have a list of stuff. For example, if I want to print up a car card with the data I've entered, a database is a better tool. I use Access to store my data, but use a tool called ColdFusion to deploy it
Just stopped by to poke my head in the door and wish all our Veterans here a happy Veteran's Day. Thank you for your service to our country...
Morning, Chloe, some eggs over easy with rye toast and a slice of bacon. Cupa black to wash it all down. Need some protein fortification since I have a lot of work to do today on this rainy Oregon day. Still building masonite subroadbed spline sections on the staging level. I'm laying about 8 feet per night (7 splines wide). I should have the staging level meet up in the next week if this schedule continues. I'll post some new pictures when that happens. Hoople & Ray - Can't go wrong
Just a cup of decaf when you have time, Zoe. Sue - I remember taking my private pilot checkride like it was yesterday. I was actually about 13,000 yesterdays ago, but that just makes me sound old! In the right seat was a fellow named O.T. Dunford. He pulled the throttle at one point and said "Pick a field". We were in Oklahoma. The challenge was to pick the best field, since there were about a dozen choices. Not like here in Oregon where you hope for anything level without trees! Many congratulations
Early mornin' all! Better get me a cupa hot coffee (black, no sugar) please Chloe! Couple of fellows asked for more details on how I'm wrecking the back bedroom in my house so here goes... I'm modeling in N scale a section of the Southeastern part of the Southern Pacific Brooklyn Subdivision from MP 649.7 (Eugene Yard) to MP 580.5 (Oakridge Yard) in Oregon during the transition era, now owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad. I will base this layout on a real location, but since
