The pot of coffee is always on [even after 2 years have passed]. Come on in. Sweet ice tea too.

Here is a thread that should help you

When the Halloween Village is done, we will post pics, beginning to end of project. After we fini***his, we will do our Christmas layout. Hey Chief, do you have Christmas on December 25 or does that also come later in the year in the South [?]

[FJ and G]

got up 2 a.m. and worked on my sky and mountains. Layout construction definitely exciting.

[ChiefEagles]

Jon, I'll email you again.

[Dr. John]

Howdy folks! I'm about to get on the road to Mobile to see the rest of the family for a couple of days. Trying to keep up to households is for the birds! (Sorry Spanky!) I'm praying that the house in lower Alabama sells quickly so I can get my entire crew up here to Prattville.

I probably won't have a Christmas layout this year since we are getting ready for a move. I may throw down a loop of track in the apartment, just so I don't forget how to run trains. Y'all take care!

[ChiefEagles]

Dr. John, good to hear from you. Have a safe and good trip.

[dougdagrump]

Hey Gang, Just got back from the San Diego Model RR Museum. Since I didn't have space for a large layout I did the next best thing, possibly the better thing, and joined the San Diego 3-Railers. Spent the whole day runnuing trains on that BEAUTIFUL layout. [:D][:D][:D] Now I just need to add more rolling stock, and loco's, and rolling stock, and loco's, and, and, and. [sigh] [(-D]

[ChiefEagles]

Doug, gald you did not slide down the hill nor wash away. God bless and good night.

[Buckeye Riveter]

Doug, I'm GREEN with Envy concerning your participation in the San Diego Three Railers [bow][bow][wow]

I've seen the old layout and it was great. The museum is great. San Diego is great. Would you condider adopting me as your kid, so I can play there too?? [:D][:D][:D][:D] I promise to behave. [:p][:D]

I love the CTT forum on Saturday mornings. I have it all to myself!!!![}:)][:)][^]

[ChiefEagles]

Why would anyone want to adopt a Buckeye? Even "left bankers" know better than that. You better be down in the basement building more extensions. Well, turned cool here and heat finally came on. Will start loading the greenhouse some today. That way, will not have to ru***o get all in when they say, "Frost". Suppose to go back to warm next week. Bet the trees in Owhooh [pronounced O-who-oh] have all lost their leaves. The buckeyes are on the ground where they belong. [:D] May go with Pam to early vote. Think I'll write in Elliot for president. All have a good weekend as everyday is a weeknd day for me. [;)] God bless all.

[spankybird]

Good Morning All,

It’s a cool Sunny day in NE Ohio, temp in the low 50’s with a high of mid 60’s, so they say.

Buckeye, Cong’s on the THIRD STAR

Chief, we still have plenty of leaves on the trees, and boy are they pretty.

Pick of the Day


all be safe

You're up awfully early today, Buckeye. Boy, I've read about the San Diego setup - I'm jealous too - it must've been wonderful. Tell us more about your experience, Doug. Cold and rainy today - not a good day to wander fields looking for pumpkins -nor rake leaves for that matter - probably a good basement day though - after i take the boys for doughnuts while the girls get their hair done... I'm waiting for the new CTT with the wiring article on running mutliple trains before I try anything new. I set up a separate transformer for my new inner oval and siding and it works - my son wanted to 'race' trains. Well, it beats his race-car playstation game - I swear watching that thing makes me ill.

[ChiefEagles]

Doug, sounds like you ar really getting with it ont he trains and wiring. You are finding it is not as complicated as DC. Also sounds like you are having fun. That is the best part. Hit the basement. About that cold weather time, I'll be doing more inside and get mine going. Looks like I will be on the road a lot during Feb, Mar and April. Lots of BPS shows. Well, got to go to the garden and pull up some turnips. Big as softballs. Bigger than Tom's tomatoes. [;)]

[dougdagrump]

Mornin' All, It was a great day runnin' on that layout. But in actuality the absolute best part of it was watching the faces of all the kids, young and old alike, when they see the layout in operation. Sometimes when there weren't too many in the room letting a youngster come in and handle a Cab-1, strict control, ring the bell, blow the whistle/horn use the braking button. WHAT A HOOT ! [:D][:D][:D][:D]
Now if I can get Bill Gates to adopt me, then I maybe I could adopt Buckeye. [(-D][(-D]

[Buckeye Riveter]

I will call Bill Gates tomorrow so we can get this thing rolling. [:D][:D][:D] I'm packing my bags for San Diego. [8D][8D][8D] Spanky, it's warm there, too!!!

[ChiefEagles]

Just like a Yankee. Trying to find somwhere warm. That is why we have too many down south now. [;)][(-D][:-^][:-^]

[dougdagrump]

One good quake and I bet he'd be runnin' back to Ohoho ! [(-D][:D]

[Buckeye Riveter]

Up early again, forum all to myself.

Let's see Ohio = Tornadoes, Floods, Fires, Blizzards and temperatures below zero.

California = Earthquakes

I'm still packing my bags.[:)]

And oh by the way, us Yankees go south not for the warmth but to buy pecans at Stuckys and carpet at the outlets. [:D] And then there is Florida, where they let you drive like a wildman [:D][:D][:D]

[ChiefEagles]

Morning Lady [Big Girl] and Gentlemen. OH, you too Buckeye. [;)] Off to Sunday School. Hope all are well and God bless all.

[spankybird]

Good Morning all,

It’s a mild morning in NE Ohio for end of October, temp is 60’s and will stay in the 60’s for most of the day with a chance of more rain.

Today is my wife’s birthday, so of to Mc’d’s for breakfast in bed for her.

All be safe today

tom

[ChiefEagles]

[bday][bday] Mrs. Spankybird. Make sure Tom take you to [dinner].

[Buckeye Riveter]

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Spankybird
[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
Tom, you notice I didn't put you on the spot like the Chief tried to do. [:0]

[spankybird]

We had a party with cake and icecream last night and this morning I went to Mcd's before she was up, got her breakfest and provided it as "breakfest in bed"

[ChiefEagles]

Wow, now we know who the cook around the house is. [;)] I love chicken biscuits. [man that will make my stomach hurt]

[daan]

Breakfast at Mc D? What else do they have in america besides the hamburgers and french fries? That doesn't sound like breakfast to me..
Anyway, hope you enjoyed[:D]
All have a good day and stay safe.

[Buckeye Riveter]

Daan, our Mc Ds serve breakfast. Eggs, bacon, saugage, pancakes, burritos, potatoes, coffee, and no grits.[:D] The one near Knott's Berry Farm in California has a O-Scale train running throught the place.

[ChiefEagles]

Burritos??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that really sounds like something I would get down on the border. That is what we have when I go fishing at Del Rio. We have sausage, ham and chicken biscuits too. [:D] Now as for grits, Yankees are so behind in the times that they do not have grits nor sweet iced tea. [:(!]

Sorry to drop this into the conversation out of context. I was doing a Google search for Weaver's model of Milwaukee Road 261, when I ran across a hit that looked familiar. Sure enough, it was something that I had said back in April. I also said this. Hmmmm, am I psychic, or what.[:p][;)]

By the way that was back on page 2!!!![:0]

[ChiefEagles]

Elliot, page 2!!! Lots of smoke out of the stack since then. [;)] Good idea you had about just adding to this post instead of a new one everyday. We've learned about each one's families, work [well not all of us do that [:D]], hobbies and pasttimes. I'm glad we have a page that we do not have to stick to subject and can be informal. Thanks to this forum, we have friends all across the nation and even in another country [Daan]. In Tiny Tim's words, "God bless us, everyone."

It is so cool having this running record. The three coffee topics are the most popular and longest running on each of their forums, and we really owe them all to you Frank. You were the one that originally brought the concept here. I just had you tweak it a bit.

Those that use them correctly end up becoming friends. One of the guys over on MR took a cross country trip, almost three weeks. I lost count of how many members he visited along the way, at least 4. I'll have to go back and read about Teffy"s trip.

By the way Frank, please don't write me in for president. I don't want to be the president of the TCA, let alone the United States. My blood pressure is nice and stable now.[swg]
