YIPES!!!!! Twin tornados on the ground about 30 minutes ago. Don in Cumberland Co./ Fayetteville [Ft. Bragg] area. Moved up I 95. South bound I 95 at standstill. SHP says 18 wheeler overturned and blocking all lanes. Trees across the interstate and lots of wreck. They were about 20 miles apart moving northeast which took one right up I 95. Seems to have calmed down now.

Buckeye--I had a nice breakfast already for you this morning, eggs benedict and mamosas! Sorry you weren't here to enjoy them I did cancel the trip west, not much fun going alone to snow and high winds, next time
Fife--hope you have some good luck looking at sail boats this weekend, what a wonderful journey you are about to begin. I am big time jealous Think of me tomorrow as I'm listening and adjucticating 70+ high school brass and percussion solos! I really do enjoy it or I wouldn't do it (plus they pay me very well), the best part of the day will be when I'm done and coming home through some of the most gorgeous rolling hills in southern Iowa on two lane roads with very light traffic listening to Garrison Keeler on Prairie Home Companion---the stress just melts away.

So many roads, so little time.
Good afternoon,
Had a nice chat with Don B. earlier, we solved most of the worlds problems. He thinks I need to try the programable feature on DCS, will give it a try.
Nice day here, Sunny and in the sixties. More rain, which we need, predicted for tomorrow. Guess the folks out in Fargo would like to send us some moisture.
Have a great weekend.

Gilbert started their HO line in ’39. Of course that got interupted by the war. After the war they let it slide to concentrate on S guage. When they did start it was sacrificed for the Korean War restrictions. I ’55 they started in earnest on HO. Much of the early rolling stock was built by Varney and the only way to tell the difference is the car #’s. Due to the hit all trains took production ceased sometime in ‘63
Unfortunately most of my stuff is in boxes. This winter I did get the 4 x 8 I built in high school uncovered enough to get trains running again. The first thing my Grand kids want is to go run trains. After ten or fifteen minutes they’re ready to move on. If they stay long enough they can’t leave with out another session.
They both like the battery operated Thomas and have a constantly changing floor layout.
I recently ordered an HO Thomas with two coaches. I’m hoping to surprise them with it on Easter when they come for dinner.
They should love it..
I can't find the smiley wings but prayers to all who need them.

Fife, You'll appreciate this. One of my customers was in last week and told me he and a friend just purchased a boat. They have it moored in Santa Monica Marina. No of course the city owns the dock and all the slips, so they lease the slip from the city. The federal government owns the water in the marina, and since Santa Monica is in LA county, the county deems they own the ground UNDER the slip. So they have received a property tax bill for the land under the boat in the slip !!!! (Another new tax), also the annual tax on the boat is based upon the square footage, not the value. So if the boat has more than one deck the tax is proportional.

jonadel - The weather is s'posed to be crappy here this weekend, but maybe I can get a decent pic for you to inspect. Better yet, I'll just email you the listing later.
Morning. Well, we have Banks and Krump posting. More Yankees to get to eat grits.
Me, cough and cough YUCK.
Mom, no word but Yvonne is in charge. And she will be in charge. Why I pay her the big $$$$. Nice to know she can stand in for me when I can not be there.
Been up for a while but reclinerizing. Rain has stopped but coming up from RT in SC. Suppose to be heavy again this afternoon and night. Lucy is doing fine this AM. She has a "funny" tummy. Getting a shower and heading to Town Hall. Back to rest after that.
Don and a HAM license? A natural. We all know he is a HAM. CA HAM and not a country HAM.
Fife, looking a boat? Got 21 foot Mako with 200 Yamaha on the back. Radar, depth finer and etc. Make you a real good price.
Have a good one.
dbaker48Frustrating news! I'm going to need to add another show to our schedule, however the bad news is I need to get a HAM License, UGH !!! Did the pretest for a Technician Level, (entry level), did fine with the electronic portion, but I've got to memorize all those darn frequencies, and band widths. No fun !!!!Good News !!! I decided to play with the DCS Session recording capability. Boy is that ever cool !!! After having DCS for over 2 years and just getting around to it. I have programed various switches, so could just select one button and a variety would change. That was good ! But the Session Programming is wild. I set up a 3 car train on a siding, and another 4 cars on a different siding. Then brought the first train out, turned on some accessories, ran the train through a reversing loop. Dropped the cars off on a parallel siding, then picked up the other cars on other siding. Cleared the main line, then brought out another engine from the Engine Yard to pick up the first cars dropped off. Took the first train back to through the reversing loop, and parked it in its original position. Then with the 2nd engine took the cars around and dropped them off where the first cars had originally been parked. Then took the 2nd engine back to the Engine Yard and parked it. During this time I had various accessories operating, and sounds from the engines. Finished the recording and saved it all as 1 session. Played it back and it was AWESOME !! Now the other capability is, IF you return the engines to their starting locations, you can not only play that session back, but ALSO put it in a LOOP mode, which will repeat the operation over and over. COOL, EH ?? Love IT !!! The length of a single session can be a maximum of 90 minutes in duration, or 500 commands. I have no idea how many sessions you can record. (I have my switches and accessories connected to the DCS AIU, and the switches in wired in parallel to the control panel, next will try with TMCC in the Session. IF that works then Legacy.)Later

Don,
Sounds like you've been pretty busy! I can empathize with you regarding that HAM License, doesn't sound like anything I would like to do either. All that memorization can really be a pain.
On the brighter side, sounds like you had a good time with the programming thing on the DCS. How many sequences did you have to generate? And how many attempts did it take you? I don't know if you can integrate TMCC or Legacy into that process, make sure you let us know if it works. I've heard that it is extremely critical that you have the engines in the exact starting spots when you run the replay, so take caution with that. That is really interesting that you can take accessories made in the fifties and operate them automatically, I imagine it looks like the train is activating the item as it passes by. Keep up the good work, you need to make a video and post. BTW, how long does that sequence run? Oh yeah, that was pretty ingenious on your part to develop a sequence that repeats it self by alternating where cars are picked up and then dropped off. So that a continuous loop can be run. GOOD JOB !!! YOUR'RE THE GURU !!!
Fife--good luck with the boat broker, that should be fun. Now remember, size does matter
Beautiful morning here ... allergies have me sneezing again ... yuck ... opened the patio door for a blast of fresh air and a turkey was gobbling .... calling those hens I guess . Waiting on 4 new diecast cars to arrive ... the delivery guy probably thinks I'm gonna pounce on him everytime . I know him better than most of my family members ... if he has a delivery and we meet on the road within a couple of miles near my house he flashes his lights ... pulls over and delivers right there .. LOL .
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 38 degrees. Foggy earlier. Going up to a sunny 65 today. That would be nice.
Today is busy. Wife is doing the grocery shopping and I have some chores around the house. Then, to relax. Hopefully.
Dining car was here for breakfast and departed for " Points West".
Buckeye...TGIF
Y'all have a great Friday.
Chuck
Good Morning
Welcome Krump, I doubt if you will learn much from these guys, but we have a good time pretending that we know something.
Sun and 50s but sunday sounds like a nasty day. Rain starting tomorrow nite.
Charlie and his family came over yesterday evening and we had a good time running trains. No pileups but a couple of boo boo's. TGIF...S.J.

Morning all. Cold here in Chicago. Should be a quiet day - just about no-one was on my train this am - hope it's because of Spring break and not the economy worsening... Supposed to get snow tonight. Jon, prayers for your kin in Fargo. Welcome Krumps and Banks. I like browsing websites showing Marklin accessories. Banks, I didn't know Gilbert made HO. I like that forum summary...

Good Morning,
Another warm day in sunny south Florida, should get up to 78 today, with a chance of rain.
Went to Lantana on tuesday and bought an MTH Amtrac engine(model PF-40, cab # 452) with PS-2, looks good with my Atlas Amtrac passenger cars. Works great, but had a little problem with adding it to my DCS handheld unit, had to add it three times. First time the DCS unit said it can't locate the engine, second time it added it to my other engine and both engines started at the same time. Deleted it and added it again this time with only the Amtrac engine on the track, worked better but still started up both engines at one time after putting my oldeer engine back on the track. Had to delete both engines and add each one in separetly and one at a time on the track and that solved the problem.
Working on my other train layout the H.O. one and it is rather tuff to add switches where you want them with very little room on the layout table. Now I see why people come back to O gauge trains
The R.V. sprung a leak at the water pump last week then two days later I noticed the hot water tank leaking. $100.00 for the pump & filter, $600.00 to replace the hot water tank. That thing is eating me up financially, so I will try to sell it in early November. Not sure how the financial market will be then but hopefully better. Did the water pump already but waiting on the water heater tank to come in, had to be ordered.
Would have been on here sooner this wek but I had my share of alligator problems to fight.

Thanks for the summary of characters 88 . That was great.
I see Krump is into Marklin. Does any body here have any interest in HO? My main interest is HO made by Gilbert 1955-1963

BTW When I was a kid it was "It's raining like a tall cow pi**ing on a flat rock."
Good morning all,
It is cloudy but mild in SE Indiana with temps in the 50s. Back to work and already got one task done, which is more than I expected to get done today. Krump, welcome to the pot. It has a bunch of friendly (if slightly unusual)people gathered here. Basically took it easy yesterday, but did get one item resolved favorably with the IRS as far as Lucas' taxes were concerned. Been watching old Buffy DVDs. I had the regular fare on the dining car this morning for breakfast. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
krump okay, so I need a mocha or some specialty jolt. greetings all - I'm new to this forum, but not to coffee (I hope it's strong). collector of MARKLIN trains, particularly the glass tank car varieties, and the wine barrel rail cars - both very unique I think I may also look to a G scale point to point railroad in the near future. some train puzzles occupy the evenings also. so grab a coffee eh? can I hang out and learn more about collecting ?

krump,
to the Forum and to the Coffee Pot. With your number of posts It looks like you have been a member here for a while, so you know enough to look around through all the threads. There is a lot of good information here about trains, even some about collecting.
I for one know very little about Marklin, so I hope you will be willing to share your experience, and pictures.
Again, welcome and don't be a stranger.

Tough situation for a niece & nephew in Fargo, ND--the dike around their neighborhood is at 43'--newest forecast calls a crest of 45' this weekend. They have shipped the kids & one vehicle up to Grandpa & Grandpas yesterday and emptied their basement, they want to stay but will leave when the evacuation horn goes off. This has never happened in their neighborhood.
