Good evening all,
Survived the grandkids. Had to go thru two more engines to get something reliable for O-27. Problem with Fastrack is now all the engines built will do O-36 or maybe O-31, but smaller than that is questionable anymore. Terrible news about Michael Schumacher. I hope he makes it. Sad to see Andy Granatelli pass away. He was the last owner of the Novis, which had one of the sweetest sounds ever made by a racing car, and some of the worst luck ever in racing. Got the latest CTT today. Looks like a good issue. Weather is cold here again. Going shopping and then to a New Year's Eve party with friends. Ray, also sorry to hear of your loss. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hello all,We had two days of rain and now it's getting cold. Glad we got the shi* out on Saturday while the ground was still frozen.Took Mrs to the ortho doc this AM.Cast is replaced by a brace. She's supposed to wear it except to shower. Doc say according to Xray it's 80% healed. Start Occupational therapy and come back in 3 weeksGot to run trains for about an hour with the 2 older grand kids today.
Any body know where to find parts diagram for a 254E? I need new brushes and a brush plate. While I'm at it I want to replace the plate on the gear end. It has a lot of slop in the bearing too.
Fife......that'll probably bump up your pension some. Good Luck

T-minus one day until three consecutive days with single digit temperatures and the snows descend upon me. I just might have to hunker down and play with my trains until it is safe to venture forth. :-) Jack.
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
The best laid plans.......I checked the beer supply, 71 in the garage fridge. But then the wife hands me a grocery list. Guess I am doomed to go out shopping tomorrow morning before the New Years Eve horde shows up. And here I was, hoping to be hunkering down at home for the next few days, albeit with a house full of guests tomorrow night.

Oh come on do you really believe you could just stay home and not go out for the next few days when a wife is involved

Konbanwa and Ohayo Chuck,
It was a lovely 32 degrees this morning when I walked out the door to go to the gym. The high hit the low-50s. My computer issue at work was resolved and I had a productive day. Today, I received a new Shindaiwa gas leaf blower for the commercial work the family and I did for them a couple of months ago. It is a nice high-powered model. The wife and I do not have any plans for the evening and it has been many years since we even made it to midnight. I have the next two day off from work so I’m sure we’ll de-decorate the house.
I’ll talk to all of you next year.
Joe
Good Morning from Blueberryhill.......
Good Morning, Joe...Happy New Year.
It is a cold and cloudy 27 degrees. Going up to 35 today with cloudy skies.
Today is an easy day. A few chores and little projects, and then relax. We will be home tonite, maybe up until midnight.
Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great New Year's Eve.
Chuck
SPMan ChiefEagles I like the Paton part. I thing Paton was one of the greatest generals and Eisenhower got the credit. Later. Frank, Gen. Patton is my favorite WWII General too. His boyhood home is here in San Gabriel not too far from me. The church his family were members of have a statue of him in front of the church. My sister was a care giver once for an elderly WWII Colonel who knew George Patton. I enjoyed listening to him talk about Patton. I had an uncle, now deceased, who served under Patton in North Africa but my uncle was captured in Sicily I think and sat out the rest of the war in a POW camp. Ray

V8Vega Thanks to Santa Anna winds 75/44 today, 76/45 tomorrow for the Pasadena Rose Parade. There is a thread on the Model Railroader forum about TT scale with 30 replies. This is between HO and N and started after WW II and is near dead now. Too small for me, I don't know why I am interested but I am. I'm much more interested in American OO scale with 3/4" gauge, also near nothing available I have a lot of HO and always have figured I will build a HO layout after my O is partially sceniced but as slow as I work on it and age is creeping up I am beginning to wonder.. I lived in a real small house before and did make a real small HO layout and I still have it in a bedroom but haven't done anything with it for a long time. My O layout is 174' of track, 13 switches, 118 sq. feet. Starting tomorrow grocery stores will no longer be able to put your purchases in plastic bags to carry out and home. Your suppose to bring your own bags. I just know I will forget, Oh the joys of living under the Democrat party.

V8, where can I put my disposable underwear now? Those plastic bags were usefull for a lot of things. What now, paper? Then the tree huggers will get mad. Costco just uses old boxes or sometimes nothing if you don't ask. I keep an empty box in my trunk when I go there so I just transfer from the cart to the car. As far as bringing your own bags, sometimes when I do the big grocery shopping I get maybe 10 plastic bags. Do they expect us to bring 10 cloth bags from home.
SPMan
A very peaceful and healthy 2014 to all. Happy New Year
Chuck.....I see a gold mine for us Buckeyes!!! We need to put on Craig's list that we have used plastic grocery bags for sale for Californians. Two dozen used bags for $12.00 plus shipping. We will be California plastic bag smugglers. Now if I only can get to Canada to get new gas cans that work.
Happy New Years from all of us at Roger's Corners, OHIO - Elevation 936 FT.
Good night all. Last day of deer hunting this season for me. Actually tomorrow is the last day.
All the things that are to protect us and our environment. Better get better oil cars for our railroads.
Sleep tight

Good Evening All.
Ray, Condolences to you and your family.
Hope y'all went out and bought up a bunch of incandesant light bulbs today ! Although there is a loophole in the law for some, heavy duty bulbs (garage openers, etc) are exempt. Great, no more plastic bags ! Have you seen the reports on the "re-useable" grocery bags with regards to bacterial development.
Spent a good part of the day in the kitchen, prepping and cooking for the runners and our spouses at the museum tomorrow. Last year was a Cajun New Year, this year it will be Italian food. Tomorrow will also be the last hurrah for the Christmas Trains, will start putting them away til next year.
Just in case I'm to tired to post tomorrow :
Happy New Year !
Night all, all you guys getting the snow and cold stay warm & safe. Plan on being in bed well before the clock strikes 12.
Remember the Veterans. Past, present and future.
