Flint - Hopefully your version of Greenberg's is better than Baltimore's, which has become pathetic. There's another local-to-me show on Feb 10, at the Washington Co Ag Center.
Good to hear from SJ.
I'm in the same boat - I have not been able to log off from this device do a long, long time. Not sure what is going on, but if there is a problem of some sort, I don't want to spread it to any other devices.

The only way I know to log off from this site is to clear your cache but then you need to relog into anything you normally don't and most likely places like your banking, you will have to either by text or phone call comfirm it's you as it won't reconise your computer.
I can only blame myself for logging into here. Silly me I thought it might have gotten fixed by now.

It's been pretty good for the past few years assuming the vagaries of winter weather not making it difficult for exhibitors to get here. But I wouldn't come all the way down from where you live in MD 'Fife, it's not THAT good. An hour and a half, maybe two hours, and you're done.
The "Gold Standard" for any Greenberg show I've been to is the one in Edison NJ, absolutely their best. It seems to draw exhibitors from all over the Northeast. The Orange Hall at the TCA's York show is a good comparison to the Edison show.
Everyone familiar with the Dakman's train show videos? Just in case you're not here's his YouTube channel.

Shawn travels all over visiting various train shows and making videos of the same. They're quite enjoyable, almost like being there. He's a frequent visitor to Greenberg's Edison show.
Afternoon,
Not much going on here at the moment, I did pre-order a couple of items from Lionel's 2024 volume 1 catalog, but I'm really trying to stick things out until March when the Piedmont Division Model Train Show in Cartersville, Georgia happens.
Just doing some doodling
Same me, different spelling!

Just checking in, I did go to the basement and dust the train layout today, been a week below 0 or close. They say temps tomorrow should break. Yeah SJ you got to clear your broswing history and cache to get out of this place. I just do it after posting and you only need to do one hours worth, if you do it as soon as you get done posting and you will not loose all that other stuff Bill was talking about. The place is still not safe to be on either.
Oh well stay warm.

Becky, if and when that doodle turns into something three-dimensional I'm sure it'll be something to see!
It's getting there. I decided to base my depot on the Union Depot that stood at the Cincinnati Northern and Nickel Plate junction in Latty, Paulding county, Ohio.
It has simple architectural details which is important to me because I've decided to build the station using only materials I have on hand. Unfortunately that also means I can't print anything with my computer because I don't have enough toner.
So it's going to be a hand drawn structure, made, as you might expect, mostly from cardstock. The drawings above are on the cardboard backing from a large pad of watercolor paper. They'll make up the core of the structure and I'll be attempting to make 3 kinds of siding from strips of cardstock. I'll fashion the windows and doors from cardstock as well as all the trim with the probable exclusion of the gingerbready details and filigrees Nickel Plate stations of the era had.

Funny I sure do. So makes me thing your bank is not as secure as you think, because mine does not reconise me when I do it. Along with other sites including The Railroad Coffee Pot.
Becky - Atlas Riverton Station would be a good kitbash for your project. That corner bay window is certainly unique.

That's a very classic old very "railroady" looking station! From the way the two men in the first photo are dressed I'm guessing the shot dates from the first decade of the 20th Century. Thanks for the shots!
RT, think you did not read my post. I said if you only clear one hours worth of history and cache and have not had your bank open or used in that hour it will not ask you to ID yourself next time you go back to the bank.. If you stay looged into your bank it will and if you clear all time history and cache it will. I log out of everything when I am done!
Weather has turned to slop. 222.7 hours below freezing with a foot of snow and now in the high 30s. What a mess.
That will be a nice station Beckey!
I'll have to see if I can, never looked into just doing the past hour.
Evening, nothing new going on here, I did buy a CN engineer hat off eBay recently, though.
Well the Richmond Greenberg show's come and gone. It was fun as usual and even though I didn't get a lot of stuff I did get this:
https://www.tandem-associates.com/lionel/lionel_trains_2046_loco.htm
Yep, a 1951 Lionel 2046! Just what I was looking for to do another Hudson to Pacific conversion. Don't worry, it's not a "mint" example, there's quite a bit of wear on the paint and the side rods are pretty dull. I had to do a bit of "resurrection" work on it when I got home but nothing too serious. Clean the motor, lube all around (Wow! Was it dry!) and now it runs like a deer! Smokes like crazy too! The whistle tender called for a bit of cleaning and lubing as well.
Anyway, this one's going to be turned into a Richmond, Frederickburg & Potomac locomotive as soon as it gets warm enough to paint out in the "Chugger Barn." But for now it'll be run as is.
Big blank canvas!
Oh my, isn't it depressing when the Christmas stuff comes down, and it always seems to come down faster than it goes up. Strange.
pennytrains Big blank canvas!
Thinking of possibly in the future, getting into the 7.5" gauge live steam hobby. (With two battery powered IC GP9's)
Would you believe? You can't opt out of this forum without calling customer service. AND she didn't know who could. So I wait for a goodbye.

SJ to do so you need to clear your cache, now Kevin says all you have to do is clear the last hour, so I haven't look but there is an setting to do just the last hour instead of all of it. I'm sure charlie or one of your kids would know how.
No. I want off the forum.
Spanky got kicked off being political, not sure if it works anymore.
Maybe the only way off. The customer service lady didn't know how or even who can do it. So I'm waiting.
smokey1 Spanky got kicked off being political, not sure if it works anymore. It sure worked for Spank, although I'm sure that wasn't his intention. Jeez, I sure miss Spanky!

Evening,
I ordered a Canadian National Railway heritage T-shirt on eBay (it has CN and locomotives/logos of railroads that merged into their system). I will wear it and my CN engineer hat to the Piedmont Division Model Train Show in Cartersville, GA in March!

Got my Nova back today, still needs some work in future but it's good for now, Either odometer cable or the odometer period. It seems it slips off a little but not enough to effect it other than making a clicking sound.
I plan to swap the motor out anyway in a year or so.
