Good Morning,

LAZ, Hmmm BAZAR Farms sounds good, but operating expenses could kill us.  I think we would have to start off with a train like the Chiefs.  And that would be embarrassing. 

Blownout Cylinder, I don't remember if I did put a picture up of the Goose, but here it is;

The Geese where built in the 30's, and saved the Denver Rio Grande, essentially they were the first commuter rail vehicles.  There are 7 of them still remaining, I believe they are all in Boulder Co., except for #3 at Knotts.  BTW, MTH built both PS1, and PS2 models.  I just had to have one, found it in Iowa, and its own order.  The one I got is #5, but close enough, they are pretty much identical.  I havn't driven #3 yet, but its coming.

Currently, there is a "Goose Fest" scheduled for the second week in June in Boulder.  And, #3 is going to be there.  Knott's put it in service during the winter months to keep operating costs down, and only uses the steam on week-ends.

Rich (anjdevil2), "DonB – Have you ever done the early morning Disney Land Tour?"  Rich, I'm sure your refferring to the Round House and Start-up.  Answer to that is no, didn't even know that had one.  However, when I was in college I worked for Wonder Bread, and every morning for about 2 years, I was delivering bread and buns to all the eaterys inside Disneyland.  Drove a truck all over the place, had a few incidents over the time, knocked down a Monrail sign, truck bumper hooked onto a train sitting on siding, and pulled it a ways, cracked a light post, pulled a shed sitting on a pallet, etc..  That was a trip, believe me!  Anyway, got kinda burned out with Disneyland.  A friend of mine from Disney is an engineer there, they pay better, but the hours are really low!  Maybe, 8-10 hours a week.  I'm working 32 hrs, this and next week, probably 40+ during summer.  Then 24 in winter.

Doug,  From what I understand Knott's is the primary repair facility for Cedar Fair railroads, don't know for sure, but that's what the guys say.  I don't know about the new stuff coming in back there, (I'm not in the know yet.)  But the Fortney probably went back there 3 or 4 years ago I think.  Will put my ear to the rails and see what I can find out.

Glad to hear Jeffries mom is doing better, and Ray's wife is OK.  Prayers for all with need!

Got to get to work, later.

Probe.....

She's doing ok....sometimes too much, sometime not enough, but its early in the process.  She did drive a couple of miles home.  If I had an automatic, she'd be ok, but the learning curve on a manual is steep, but she's determined.....and that helps! 

You've got that right, Rich.  Limited driving experience right off for the Princess.  Add the manual transmission, a total distraction.  Fear of hitting something/someone or burning out the clutch.  The Pulsar's clutch pedal resistance is fairly light I would assume, so she will get the hang of it in short order if she can get the practice in with you at every opportunity, even if it is only for a few minutes here and there.   

Wifey later in her learning process had me teaching her blipping the throttle and raising the rpm on the downshifts so they were smoother as well.

I have to go and let Maximus out.  The Canadian geese have exited the pond and are meandering toward the lawn.....again.  Either it is going to be a very long Spring, Summer, and Fall with the destroyed lawn and incessant cleanup of the droppings.  Or the geese are going to learn the hard way they should look to someone else's property for their meals and sunning and pooping.  

Later, gang.

Good Morning

Just a quick passthrough this morning

Fog getting burned off as we speak...sunny and a high near 52F today

Don:  Thanks for the pix! I'm thinking of kitbashing/scratchbuilding one of those ...provided I find some space on the workbench

[sir james I]

39 with bright sun. Frost this morning.

Not a busy day, my friend is coming by with another engine he wants to test run. He has no layout so a lot of engines he has bought have never been out of the box. Fun for me as I get to play with something I don't have. Make the most this day...S.J.

[Demay]

Konbanwa,

Today’s weather was extremely nice.  I had a nice three-mile run this morning while pushing the youngest in the jogging stroller.  The wife and I enjoyed some Thai food for lunch on our back porch.  A wife of one of my guys at the office made the Thai food (she is Thai) and brought it to the office.  I brought some home for the wife and me.  It was terrific and I am excited about next week’s offering.  She does this twice a week and it only costs a few bucks.  The baseball team had practice tonight and I must say the players showed wonderful improvement.  Two of the players who were not there on Tuesday were there tonight: a girl who never played baseball before and a boy with some experience.  Both did very well.  The only part that peeved me tonight was when one of the mom’s informed me it was 7:01 pm; practice was supposed to end at 7:00 pm.  I went a little long because batting practice was taking some time.  I am going to have an unofficial practice this Saturday.  I think we can only have two a week for some reason, but since my son and I will be out on the field ourselves I invited others to join us.  I think it is odd to prevent kids from practicing since it will help; however, I do understand that some coaches may go overboard and try to practice for hours every day and burn out the kids. 

Kev – The number really shocked me, but I guess after so many years in the AF it makes sense.  How’s Nathaniel?

V8 – Using church for a social life is a great idea.  I can think of many not-so-good ways to have a social life which would probably result in misery.

SP Ray – Fort Indiantown Gap is a nice post.  I have been there a couple of times; although, not for the best reasons.  I have an uncle who is buried at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.  He served in the Koran War and died in 2000. 

Rich – My in-laws used to live in Naples, FL.  My wife and kids also lived there during one of my more lengthy deployments.  It’s a nice place but I believe it has become too populated now.  I liked to visit but I don’t think I could live there – too many crazy drivers.

AF Ray – If I leave these kids with anything I hope it’s a good understanding of fundamentals.  Have fun at the opener; I am very jealous.  Jorge was one of my favorites from the more recent era.  I think Joe DiMaggio is my favorite of all time, but there are so many to pick from during that time.  My favorite post-90s Yankee is Bernie Williams.  He was very consistent and classy. 

I’m glad we have more good news about Jeffrey’s mom and Blownout’s friend.  I hope 8N and RT are feeling better.

Sayonara,

Joe

[RockIsland52]

Geese have been sent flying for safety.  Maximus now patrolling "his" yard for the rabbits.

RT.......I hope the Docs get this sorted out, nothing to take lightly.

MikeC.......hopefully these daily chats and time have Lucas feeling more comfortable and in control of things.   Prayers continue. 

Don........you must be really pumped, up and "at 'em" at sunrise!!!!  Thank you again for the engineer and train updates, and the pictures.  "Casey Baker'.........has a ring to it.  You're not likely to get a TV series like Alan Hale Jr. did, but you sure look like you are having a ball doing it!

Jeff.........take it s-l-o-w!!!!!!!!  Great continued good news on your Mom!!!!   Sounds like you need to fire the two guys you have on lawn mower maintenance and get some new ones.  Too much down time!!

Blownout......sounds like your buddy has turned the corner once again!!!!  It has been a tough past month for him, and for you!!! 

JimmyT.......did I miss a picture of your M-GT with the new wheels?

V8........remember, nutcases like me go to church and functions.  

JoeyD........there are always a few in the crowd, don't take it personally or spend a minute wondering what is going through a parent's head.  There are a lot of back seat driver parents out there and no matter what you do they think it should be done differently.  By the way, where are the Red Sox players?  They are conspicuously absent from your "favorites" list.

DouggieM........  prematurely to your better half.  Smart move on your part dedicating the whole day to her, but that time might translate into a spending spree and collateral damage to the train fund!!!!  

You guys have me reading my brains out now on the Iowa class battleships.  Seems like they got placed into the WWII fray a little too late for D-Day.

York is a week away as LAZ pointed out.  Hope youse guyz have a good local bail bondsman and lawyer picked out and placed on speed dial. 

Later, gang.

[Stourbridge Lion]

Good Morning CTTFans!

Well we got our first Funnel Cloud of the season just south of of the airport (DIA) yesterday along with a downpour overnight.  Hope to get the fertilizer down on Saturday but will see what Mother Nature has in-store for  us by then...

[cnw1995]

Milhistory is one of my specialties.  There were six battleships among more than 1,200 ships that were part of the D-Day covering forces. The US contingent were Arkansas, Texas, and Nevada and the British added  Ramilies, Rodney and Warspite. Nelson was in reserve until 10 June. Their main batteries ranged from 12 to 15 inch guns. As you presumed, shore bombardments were tough to manage for a whole host of reasons.

Don, I hear she will be heading my way this summer on loan to the Colorado Railroad Museum.  We might actually have all seven of them together again for an event.  We had five together once but this time they are shooting for all seven.  As part of the loan you might see others come out your way at a later date so keep watch around the farm for notices...

[Hudson#685]

Lunchtime,

Next week this time I will be in York. I can't wait.

Jeffrey, Good news on your Mom and take it slow with the Peerless.

Mike, Continued prayers for Lucas.

Joe D, Enjoy coaching the Little Leaguers. You will leave a lasting impression on them.

Don, I always like the Galloping Goose.

Prayers and Thoughts for all in need.

Have a Great Day!

John

[SPMan]

Doug Murphy, thanks for identifying the U.S. Battleships present on D Day.  Wasn't the Nevada damaged at Pearl Harbor? 

DBaker, thanks for the photos of the goose.  Looks like a fun contraption to drive/run.  I didn't know that Knotts only ran steam on weekends during the winter. Interesting stories about your bread delivery days at Disneyland.  The guy you mentioned who works on the Disneyland Railroad must be that guy at AGHR I assume.  Have fun!

Going to try and visit my friend on the hospice program today if he is up to visitors this afternoon.

Jeffrey, don't kill yourself on that tractor.  It's not worth it.  Hope your mom is still improving.

V8 Dennis,  you are like my weather man.  I get more accurate information from you than I do from the papers.  Glad you participate in church activities. You could be in a whole lot worse places.

later,

Ray

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Well we got the tractor fixed. The problem turned out to be a broken tensioner pulley on the reduction drive at the rear axle. Easy enough to fix once you get at it, which is a bear. First remove the battery and battery box. De-tension the belt for the PTO and remove that belt from the triple stack pulley. (belts from the bottom to top are in order, Main drive from the engine through the clutch pulleys to a small pulley at the bottom of the rear stack pulley. Reduction drive from a large pulley in the middle of the stack to a gear box that drives the rear axle via a drive shaft and last but not least the belt for the PTO (which I've never used) that comes off a mid size pulley at the top of the stack and goes to the PTO gear box. Next the tensionor for the reduction drive belt must be removed. At this point it's most definitely a two man job! Man at the top (me) has to hold a 9/16 wrench on the bolt that holds what's left of the tensionor pulley. This is loads of fun because he can't see it. It's underneath the frame. The man at the bottom (my father)  has to use a ratchet with a 9/16 deep well socket on a one foot extension to reach the nut on the other end of the bolt the first guy is trying to find. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, the wrench up top has to be short because there's no room for a bigger one. So now the top guy has found the bolt head and can only hold the wrench by the end because that's all he can hold onto. Bottom guy tries with all his might to break the nut loose. No joy there. It's been there for fifteen plus years and has no intention of going anywhere! Well, there's just enough room underneath (did I fail to mention the tractor is up on concrete blocks, hole side up?) for a small air impact wrench. My father goes and gets it and finds he has a problem. The impact is half inch drive and his sockets are 3/8 drive. So the top guy (me) goes to the toolbox in his van and gets an old half inch drive 9/16 deep impact socket. Meanwhile the wrench on the top of the bolt falls and ends up on the ground. I have to go fishing for the bolt head again. By now I'm in a lovely mood. I get the wrench back in place, my father gets the impact in position and pulls the trigger. The impact took half the corners off the nut but it did break it loose. It also snatched the wrench out of my fingers, bounced it off part of the frame then the wrenched flew back and ricocheted off the stack pulley and flew upward almost parting my hair! At that point there were a few more words spoken that could have been added to Webster's dictionary as they were a combination of English, German, Russian and Cherokee! I was glad my father insists on safety goggles. Well, that had the broken part off. We went and got a new tensionor pulley. Thankfully that thing can use parts made for several different brands of tractors. We also got a new belt for the reduction drive as the old one was still original and was looking a bit worn. Now getting the new pulley should have been dead simply easy right? WRONG! Remember the place it attaches is hidden away under the frame. I put the bolt through the pulley and fished around a bit and heard the bolt fall through a hole. My father says 'wrong hole'. So I picked the pulley up so the bolt clears the hole then hit the same dang hole three more times! I finally got it through the right hole then fished around with the wrench til I found the bolt head again. My father put a NEW lock nut on the other end of the bolt using his ratchet then cinched it with the impact. Now I got the new reduction drive belt out of the package  and looped one ene up under the frame so it would catch the tensionor pulley then work it around the pulley on the stack then the large pulley for the drive shaft gear box. There, that was done. Getting the PTO belt back on was child's play compared to all that! So I put everything else up top back together then the two of us lifted the belly mower back into position and locked it back into place. My father lifted the rear with his jack and I pulled the rear blocks then rolled it back off the front blocks then pushed it back into the shed. It'll get tested possibly this weekend. It'll either work or it won't. After that my father and I ran a few errands in town then went to Catfish Junction  for lunch. And that has been my day.

rt - Hope you're feeling better today.

[rtraincollector]

Doing okay worked a whole day. Not sure whats going on but they can't find anything but do know I get pains in my chest and arm goes numb. Do have appointment with cardiologist wed. Maybe he can help me understand whats going on

Not much else going on right now. cut up a fresh pineapple tonight so will eat on that the next couple of days. Love fresh fruit like that.

No train related item happening today Hope to get heavy into it starting Monday have a dash 8 NS to convert to tmcc that is dual motor, still need to complete taking tmcc out of GP-20 and put in GP-7  and take the conventional parts and put into the GP-20. Also plan to finally build my 14 x 16 loop around the room on the shelf thats for the PA's and PB's pulling my passenger cars. Thats what should take the most time with drilling starter holes in the track and screwing it down and custom cutting the track where needed. soldering wires to connect the two pieces of track as I advance also soldering wire from outside rail to inside rail ( gar-graves track) every so often.

not much else going on. Hope all had a good day. Talkt o you all later.

Problem here is they don't come to you. You have to take it to them. The most successful repair place here is a one woman, two man operation. So that would have loading it here, unloading it there then go back to pick it up in a week or two instead of it being done the same day.

[dwiemer]

Good evening everyone.  Getting ready for bed and wanted to stop by.  Joe yeah, we can't live their lives for them, but if we teach them well, we can only hope and pray they make wise choices and do well, and know that we love 'em. 

Don, is that you manning the wagon, or the goose?  It sounds like you have really gotten yourself in an ideal position at Knotts.  Hope you really have plenty of fun, while working...as the quote goes, He who loves their job will never "work" another day.

Doug, please pass along best birthday wishes to your bride.

Tomorrow is our son in China's birthday.  Sad that we are not with him yet, but we are anxious for that day.  Below is a photo of our son with one of the care givers. 

Pray that each of you has a blessed night.

Good evening all,

Getting ready for more rain tonight and tomorrow.  Like V8 says, rain is a big event here.

Did not get to see my ailing friend today.  His wife said he was having a bad day so we rescheduled for next week.  Kind of anxious to see him now since I haven't seen him since he got out of the hospital recently.

Dennis, nice photo of your son.  He looks like a lovely child.  Prayers that you all get together soon.

Picked up some kind of bean medley at market today to make soup with using left over ham bone tomorrow.  Looks like it will be good.  Got some plain old Navy beans if that doesn't work out.

Pleasant evening to you all,

Ray

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Time for me to call it a night. Still sore from working working on the tractor this morning. I did my Hercules imitation and lifted the front end and pulled it onto a pair of concrete blocks. My father used a jack to lift the rear while I slid blocks under the rear wheels. Guess which end is heavier. Ain't the rear. No work on the layout today with the small exception of changing a coupler (broken McHenry shelf coupler) on a tank car. It was replaced with a Kadee shelf coupler. I did do a bit of running of the trains. The GP38-2 and SD27J mu'd pair got a good run and the H24-66 and U30EM645 mu'd pair also got a good run. The GP7's, GP9's and SDP40F's sat idle.

See y'all tomorrow.

[Brutus]

Hiya guys - I think I forgot to post last night after the Tardis ride!  I was dozing off at the end, lol!  Lots of stuff going on at work, wearing me out!  Plus I mowed the lawn last night after work.  Rider worked fine with the new battery, but I will need to change the oil after I get back from York trip. Nothing much going on here today, but another nice chat with the guys.

Jeffrey - prayers for your Mom continue, bro.

Char had a follow-up with the bone marrow doc and all is going very well.  Her blood numbers were all good and no evidence of current sinus/ear infection.  He did tell her to switch to brand name on Zyrtec as he doesn't think the generic brand was doing it for her with her allergies. 

Saturday is a big garden/landscaping show here in town, so we will be going to that.  Hope to find some guys to come out and give us bids on retaining wall(s) for the back yard.  The plan is to make it mowable with the rider and also more useable.  I'd like to put in a garden railroad somewhere in there too, lol!  We'll see.  She said that could go down in the woods - yikes!  Maybe have some RC trains - that would be awesome

TARDIS is ready - let's get a move on!

[RockIsland52]

Been sitting with the wife in shock, watching extensive coverage of the local news.  Forty miles North of us in Greenland NH, a town we drive through very often, police officers this evening were serving a warrant at a residence.........five officers shot, one dead, and the latter was the police chief just 8 days from retirement.  The gunman is still holed up in the house, possibly with a hostage.

Jack

[ChiefEagles]

Long day.  Tired.  Frankie stopped by on the way to dinner in Rolesville with the "team".  They were out to serve some warrants just like the guys in NH.  If no one but the gunman [I think news said wife too] or any on his side, blow the house.  Don't worry about taking him alive and paying for a trial.

Sleep tight.

Hello all

Tacos tonight from a little all night shop that was on the bike ride home. Doctor's appt. tomorrow. Bike/bus ride for that.

Blownout - As Larry the Cable Guy says, "OK, I don't care who you are, that's funny!"

Don - nice goose! Jack might not mind having that on his lawn!

RT - hope you get this figured out and feel better soon

Jeffrey - nice work on the tractor!

RIJack - Wow..thoughts and prayers go out to those officers and their families.

So I went to court this morning, tired, but wearing one of my few sets of nice clothes and on my best behavior. Lady at the window said, "do you want to take the class?". I say, "yes", of course. She responds, "well you were supposed to take it before the court date" "Would you like an extension?" Again, I say "yes!". Apparently the little instruction card I was supposed to get w/ the citation didn't make it home w/ me. I guess I have no excuse, there is this little thing called the internet. So I have another few weeks to take the class and was allowed to donate the city an additional $17. No problem, I can handle that.

The ins. money for the car came through, as least the first part of it. Managed to have it wired to my bank account this morning. Will be picking up my next car on Saturday in Casa Grande. Not new since I'm trying to make some fiscal changes, but 1) paid for 2) something I like and 3) it should get me around fine for as much as I drive (the little Aveo had only 7105 mi on it after 18 months).  You guys don't get to find out what it is until Saturday

Think I will test run the 1664 before I find a pillow.
