Ohio Toy Train Summit Meeting

[spankybird]

Chief - check out the craft store. I stop at our local one and they had spray paint call 'Flex Stone' in many different colors.

[tmcc man]

well chief,
i am going to start caddying next sat, and i know there is some fine amounts of money there. I can just see my basement now ...................... [:D][:D]

[ChiefEagles]

tmcc, work hard in school and go as far as you can. One day you will be able to afford postwar and all. [:)]

[tmcc man]

Chief, you got lucky. I have always wanted a postwar hudson. They are such great looking engines. My dad was never really into model railroading, and that is the reason why i do not have much postwar. If he was into it though like i am , i would have a ton of postwar.

You guys are blessed. I cant get any O Ga operators aroung here to meet at all and I have tried with adds, and flyers, posters,ect.

The nearesr fellow tin plater to me is The Rock and he is closer to you guys than to me I think

What I wouldnt give to have some sort of contact with train guys, some sort of club.

I tried going to an HO club twice but those guys wont talk to you, they ingore you. They have it the way they want and that is it.

One of these days the old cutes will need DCS to run the crappy little engines because they cant get their walkers & wheel chairs out of each other way. Soon I expect, :)

[ChiefEagles]

tmcc, I have those in my set Santa brought me when I was 6 [1952]. My engine was 4-6-4 Hudson. Has a Sunoco tanker, the LV hopper, gondola and red caboose. Santa added an operating cattle car and coral along with a Plasticville station, house and church the next year. Still got them. [:)]

[tmcc man]

Yep that is exactly the one. Was the configuration on the engine? was it 2-8-4, cause that is the engine i have

Spankybird. that is not the one. The photo I was talking about had the trolley coming towards the camera, with only 3 cars in the picture.

You mean this one



Yes this is post war. I also own several of the hoppers.

TMCC - I believe you mean this one





This is a per-war train.

[tmcc man]

Hey spankybird,
in the 10th picture on the first post, the train with the caboose, the LV hopper, and the Lionel Lines gonola, is that a postwar set? It looks exactly like the cars my dad has from his old lionel set that i now run.

[GregM]

OTTS meeting was good time and well worth the drive. Looking forward to doing it again. [:)]

Thank You's to Norm for his hospitality. Karen says I need to get my layout going again to host a meeting and let everyone else do the driving. [(-D]

[spankybird]

Chief, I will check on the paint for you. It works on both metal and wood.

here is a pic of my UP Challanger on Norms layout

Chief,

Sorry the Confederate Air Force didn't come through with the sweet tea mission . . .

The rubber bands on the plane broke!

[Buckeye Riveter]

That looks like the greatest OTTS Meeting ever. [:D] [bow][bow][bow]

(This should help all these guys get over the Indians, too. Great therapy!)

[csxt30]

Yes, we all had a great time & a real nice layout ! The paint on the bridges is from a spray can that Norm showed me. It is some sort of textured stuff & I think someone in another post said they use it to make streets, too. It looked very good & I forgot the name on the can. I think it says stone or something. Thanks, John

[Anonymous]

looks like every one had a good time.

[ChiefEagles]

Looks like there were a lot of TOOTS around the layout last night. [:D] Seriously, great crowd and great pictures. What did he paint or spray on that elevated track section that makes it look like concrete? I am really studying that.

[spankybird]

OTTS meeting was at Norm layout this week. We had a total of 8 people show up. So Chief how many show up at your house [?]



In back we have L-R: Norm, Keith (1668torpedo) Greg (GregM), Ed, Charlie, Jack, and John (csxt30), in front L-R is Phil and me.

























and look what Norm built. This was done without any nails or screws. It is held together with dowels only.




BTW- I believe these are for sale.

More pics later.

[ChiefEagles]

Tom is President of Toots, who is Vice President of Toots and Secretary of Toots?? [:D][:D] I guess the rest of the members are just regular old Toots. [:0][:D][:D]

[spankybird]

Chuck, we are getting ready to leave ourselfs. New batteries in the light. see you soon

[Blueberryhill RR]

OK, guys, the plane is all warmed up. Except for that
one engine that keeps missing.

[Roger Bielen]

Speaking of grits. Had mine this morning at a breakfast at the grandaughter's grammer school along with pancakes and sausage. You know that they're a staple, food that is, down here especially when the school system serves them.

[ChiefEagles]

I always heard WOOOO WOOOO

[Blueberryhill RR]

[code]Are you having a good time, Chief??

The train whistle goes Toot-Toot[/code]

[ChiefEagles]

I can here the cheer right now. GO TOOTS, GO!!!!!

911, "Willoughby Police". "There is big explosion in Spanky's Cove!" "Don't worry Mam, it just the TOOTS meeting."

[I'm in tears!!!!!![:D][:D]]
