Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Good morning Boys & Girls !
8n, Condolences, may the sadness pass quickly so you can enjoy all the wonderful memories.
Roy, Re the tumbleweeds, while in the Air Force at Reese AFB(Lubbock) they were a constant threat commuting from town to the base everyday/nite. Bad enuff in a car but it could be really dicey when I got my Honda bike.
Kev, The layout is looking impressive !
Gonna be a very busy weekend, Christmas on the Prado, as us old timers call it but December Nights as the PC crowd call it. Fri the museum will be open from 5pm to 9pm and Sat from 11am to 4pm then 5pm to 9pm. Normally I would be working the Sat schedule, both shifts, but with current health issues will only be working the night shift. Both evenings it is free so with all the other things going on in the park it will be extremely crowded. Last year the museum staff really did a great job in controlling the number of people in the building at one time instead of just throwing the doors open and getting out of the way.
Time to get moving, lots to get ready for the weekend.
Later all.

8N - for your Mom
DonB - Oh, I saw it, just kidding...lol
Center section should be 9'long in the center which will be Main Street with a carosel and the MTH Mel's Drive IN and MTH FireHouse and other businesses and homes, left siding will be 10' long and 2' wide double track which will be SpookyTown.
The right leg will be Christmas VIllage going past that will be another 4', curving back around the stair case when I'll put the Morton's Salt and American P&L buildings on a single track siding and a model of a cryogenics plant where my Dad and I worked. About 2' wide by the stair case.
It's planned to be a double track main with interlocking where I can switch trains from inside to outside loops, but are electricall independant. I have the interlocking in FastTrack done and ready, will just need to add a switch to have adjoining power. Outside O-48 and inside O-36.
God knows I have enough FastTrack and accessories...I have rolling stock and motive power like nobody's business. I have maybe 3 diesels, 1 GG1 electric and at least 50 steam - yes 50....and might be dropping the hammer on the Blue Comet this weekend, but we shall see.
Just need to put up the insualtion and drywall....lol

Gomer Pyle (Jim Neigbors) has left us. Saw him in person once at a club in L.A. when he was doing comedy. He also sang and surprised everybody with his big voice. R.I.P. Jim

Good evening all,
Still reeling from loss of Jim Nabors. To have heard him sing at the 500 was one of my favorite memories. Very very quiet day at work. Good weather for a walk. Construction finally done on the roads I normally use for the commute. Should be better and safer going both ways. Went to see Coco tonight. Most excellent movie!!!! Double two thumbs up! I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
8N, so sorry. God bless.
Good night. New Coffee Pot fits right in. RIP Jim Nabors.
