Sorry, Buckeye, I let my youngest play with the magic wand that is used by the family to activate the laws. It must've been like that Staples commercial with the baby and their Easy Button: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZUoWnTKsFY

Ahhh, a glorious light at the end of this long, cold tunnel! Good luck against the Bucks!

Just finished running trains. Thought the scale F3 might need a smoke unit tweak, but it was smoking good with 16 drops. Evidently I've been under feeding it! James pulled three troublesome trucks on the outer loop, the NYC 4-4-2 pulled a 10 car freight on the inner loop. We all had a good time. Polar Express has been put away for another year.

I caught up with the post and a thought came to mind."If we eat chinese tonite who will

assemble our trains" I didn't know we could do that.

Last nites snow is gone but the forecast still says 4 to 6 inches tomorrow. I wonder if Murphy is involved with that.

Had a short rest on the couch, a little train running and fussing,ready for tonite. Wife going to church i'll be here and then next door to party. Oh the old days when I would crawl home, I hated when someone would step on my fingers. Not to mention those cars driving on the sidewalk.   Later,,,,Sir James

Awe - I'm allergic to cats, but that's sad, stuck in the door!  Glad it's okay now though.

Sir James - reminds me of Caddy Shack.  "Uh, if we kill all the golphers, won't they put us in jail?"  "Gophers!"  Tongue [:P]

Good evening folks.  Waiting on the New Year.  Took down the outside decos and lifted the trains from under the tree so wifey can take it down while I am gone for work.  Not much going on today.  Shot another vide.  Waiting for Google to process.  Will add it to the Legacy thread when it's done.

Good evening all,

IIABSDISEI with temps in the 50s.  It made it nice for my dad and I to retrieve the rest of the layout from the museum.  We are getting ready for a New Year's Eve party at our house with some friends.  Lucas and his girlfriend will be here as well as her folks.  Could be an interesting evening.  I want to wish all on the forum a Happy New Year, and I will be posting soon on Chief's new thread.   We had bacon and biscuits on the dining car from "Points East".  I hope everyone has a good day and a good new year.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Happy New Year to you too, Mike - and to all. Snowing here. Off to the neighbors in a minute with the youngest. The teens finally have things to do. I used the afternoon to cut off the couplers from a K-Line GP9 I've been cannibalizing for years and using various plastic thingies I saved from toy packaging, glued them to the front of Thomas and Percy. Hope it holds.

Well, according to the clock on this computer, I have about 4 minutes to post my New Years wish for everyone.  I pray that we are all safe and healthy this coming year and that the information exchanged on this site is both helpful and presented in a kind manner.  May everyone have a Blessed New Year!

God Bless,

Dennis
