Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Mornin' guys and gal(s). Sunny and Frosty along the Allegany front range. Shopping day, I've been told.
Nice train show in Altoona yesterday. Picked up a Marx tin Army building for oldest grandson. Snagged 2 big freezer bags of O-gauge wooden ties for $5. Also finally purchased the correct blades for my 3656 cattle pen, and some MTH diesel traction tires. All-in-all, there was something for all scales and eras at this show. About 80% occupancy, compared to past years. Of course, Banksie was always there in past years...
Morning, still kicking but taking it slow and easy.
Mornin' guys and gal(s). Sunny and 28 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Finished the Fall scenic train with our biggest crowd yesterday, now I'm off for a few weeks. Me and my engineer sidekick are heading to Altoona this morning, for the Blair County train show.
Good Nascar race last night. New winner and champion, which is always fun to watch.
Get well, KRM.
KRM Been down, cracked a rib three days ago. Nope, I don't like it.

Good hunting!
Happy Friday from Central NJ
32 F right now 50s later and the Sun is out
Jenni and I are both still ill, already been a week, hatin' it right now.
Waiting for 1 part to come in and I can finish off another 494 beacon that I got with a lot of trains, HO and Lionel mix. I have a bunch of stuff that either needs some attention or restored. Projects? I got 'em.
I FINALLY got the Gargoyl street lights and I can complete the Spooky Town section of the layout. I'm trying to finish the train station section/module now, it's painted and the snow is there, need to wore up the street lights and start making plaster snow.
off to work..........

Mornin' guys and gal(s). First frost on the pumpkins overnight. Sunny & 50 in the Potomac Highlands. Nice easy train yesterday, with a nice gathering of Vets on board.
This was posted in another forum, by S.J. who doesn't come in here because of not being able to log out.

Not sure but, that is why Don isn't coming in anymore and maybe Roy also. We all have opinions about others but do not feel here or in any forum, we need to be giving our opinions. I'm the first to say I have been very bad at doing this in the past, I agree some deserve it, but we don't need to do it, in respect to those who may disagree with your opinions, as stated I was a big abuser of this thought.

Hi all, WOW been busy, My High School pal came up from Denton TX for Saturday, Sunday and left Monday. Then today we were on support for the grand daughter cheerleader duty. Just got home, Fun to watch 6th graders play basketball.
A pal dropped off 700LB of winter wildlife feed today. Hard frost last two nights. We did not get a frost till 11-1 this year, I never remember it being so late in the year. Most times we get a good frost in Oct? So I had to put the heated birdbath out and take in the summer ones. Also found out my uncle is in the hospital but not sure with what. My sister said she will fill me in tomorrow?
Would be nice to hear something from Roy, Don, Mike, Doug & DoudgDG and some of the others but things are sure not the same with Frank and Banks no longer with us. . Guess I understand.
Not much else here from the North Bluff. I need to catch up later when I get some time to read.
Till then, be good.
Good Afternoon.....Got very little done over the weekend - evidently I received a head cold along with my small amount of goodies from York. We watched Young Frankenstein Saturday night and after Halloween was over, Phantasm (Love the '70 Cuda with a 440- 6 BBL with pistol grip 4 speed).Got Halloween cleaned up and put in the garage until I can get in there and organize it. We had a nice bunch of kids come and we were essentially done by 8, but Mom wanted to keep it going until 9. Turns out that was a good idea as I emptied out the fog machine.Spent yesterday in bed and on the couch, had an emergency meeting at the firehouse and then home. Off today - may make a run to Jenni's tonight.Tomorrow night I have a meeting in Pennington for the County Association. Looks like I'll be presiding over the county meetings for the next 3 years as the President is still in continuing care. Spoke to him last night and he is in good spirits.Spank - sorry you're stuck in VA - maybe a therapeutic trip to Winchester and Mario's Trains will help???Did anyone see the Halloween video from Lionel? I thought it was hilarious!!Happy Anniversary, KRM
Looks like the Overlord is at work......OK back to work
Raining right now. I was going to take the orange Halloween lights down today but it looks like that might be out. No biggie, they do look kinda cool anyway.
Not looking forward to dealing with the pumpkins, they'll have sloppy water in 'em!
Mornin' guys and gal(s). Cloudy and 46 along the Patterson Creek cut-off, but supposed to get down in the 20's at night. Off goes the outside spigot, and in come the plants and palm tree. We "exorcised" Halloween yesterday, before burgers on the grill.
Final full week of Fall foliage trains, then we will be gearing up for Fifepup's wedding, which will involve an overnite on the Auto Train.
Same here downrange from you Fife. Thank goodness. The inferno of a summer we had here had to be dragged away kicking and screaming.
Pretty good Halloween here, 40 kids showed up. We DO have a surplus of candy though. Not complaining!
Mornin' pilgrims. Breezy and cool in the Potomac Highlands.
