John & Jim,
I just purchased the 1940's Batmobile for $5.99 at Wallgreens Drug Store. They also had the 1930's, 50's, 60's and newest ones I did not pay attention too. I also saw the Joker car available.

Hi all! Getting some heavy rain right now. No tornados or hail, thankfully. Just thunder and rain, which I'm happy to get.
Just me and the dogs home right now. Wife and younger daughter in Mobile visiting FIL. Son is home this weekend and at an interview for a summer job at the YMCA. Older daughter works there in the summers also - may be his supervisor!
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Evening all. Back from "Miss Edna's". She will be closed from now unitl Tuesday week. She [and husband while alive] use to go to York. Shipped out the two Atlas N&W to VA. My three NS Atlas engines should make it by late next week.
I see the New England Redhead hit the library. Too cheap to buy a computer. Should I send him one of mine? NO!!!! Cheap Yank.
Rain on the way. Going to run trains after pizza. Later

I'm not falling for this again. Last time I went to Diecast Direct to look at the batmobiles, I ended up spending about $80.00. Leaving for York on Wednesday need to keep what money I have. LOL
Cut the grass for the first time earlier today wearing a heavy winter coat and was still cold. Was the first time I can remember wanting to get the grass cut ahead of snow. It's snowing right now, just plain weird!
Good evening all,
It has been a cold, wet, rainy, miserable day in SE Indiana with temps in the 30s. Kevin in Alaska, please send some heat this way as I saw it was warmer in Anchorage than in Indiana. My wife and I worked four hours last night helping to set up for prom. Today we went to the local historical society for a dedication of one of my mom's quilts that my dad was donating to the museum. It was a very nice ceremony. Then we had to get Lucas ready for the prom, and take him to pick up his girlfriend. (He can drive, but he can't take any passengers under 21 with him.) We went to her mom's house, and to her dad's house and to ours so his friend's dad could take the four of them in a restored '55 Cadillac limo. My sister treated us to supper from Chili's. It was a good day. Buckeye, I liked your golfing comments, but then my opinion of golf courses probably should not be repeated here :-). I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Evening all been busy listing items on ebay have 50+ so far will probally have 150+ when done. Trying to sell a lot to help move to the north again back to PA. last 3 items I listed chief keeps coming to mind norfolk western starter set, Yard Chief train set, Southern express train set lol.

Crazy weather here. Was in the upper 80's today and supposed to be in the lower 60's tomorrow. Rain, wind, and lots of thunder. We are under a tornado watch till midnight. We are trying to keep things as normal as possible for the kids, but will move them away from the windows for tonight. Hopefully the power won't go out.
Was able to get some work done on the tractor and finally able to get another loop of track wired. I cut a bunch of feeder wires and put connectors on them so that I will be able to do the connections and then it is time to run some "star" wiring. I hope to get some real progress on this in a short amount of time.
Does anyone know what it would cost to send $100. by western Union to Italy? I know, a odd question, but I got a Hudson and the seller is in Italy......I know, gotta watch it, but Ebay has guaranteed the sale. Anyway, I will head over to the WU place Monday and take care of that. Hope everyone is safe and gets to make it to church in the morning. We have some "adoption books" to read to the kids. It helps explain things so it is not an issue later in life.

We were there for 3 hours, and got to take a train ride on the first 1.5 miles of track laid in the United States!Pics tomorrow on SPF!
Brent, I agree with your assesment of the Radon scare. To my knowledge it was never proven to be harmful.
My wife and I spent 4th of July holiday weekend in Baltimore the year before the roof calapsed in the snow storm. We were going to go to the Museum while there, but found out to late that the 4th is one of only a few days it is closed. When they were raising money to rebuild to sent a contribution and bought one of the boxcars they issued, but have never made it to the Museum. MUST do it one of these days.
Weather here has been beautiful up to 8:00 PM. Now a slow rain is falling. The worst is supposed to be over by YORK.
Take care,

Missed your call. I will try to contact you. I do hope Pam answers the phone so I can tell her all the sneaky little things you are doing behind her back. It is my duty to keep her informed.
Have you packed up those NS Engines yet? I bought blue and yellow paint today so that I am ready for Jim to repaint them when they arrive.
Finally got my hands on Grandma's camera.

Well, didn't get the snow here, though it was a blizzard at times last night. I'm glad !!
Hope everyone has a nice day !!
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cold 34 degrees. Cloudy. Going up to only 44 today. Chance of more rain. This is getting depressing. Need some sunshine.
Today, is a relaxing day. Worked in train room about 5 hours yesterday. Ran 3 trains and trolley. I think I will spend some time there today. Still working on the town setup. Looking good, so far.
Chief....Nice pictures of Grandson. Buy him a train. You probably thought of that already.
Dining Car is here and ready. Time for breakfast. " Point west " must be sleeping late today. Maybe.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Chuck
Good morning everyone,
There is a heavy downfall of rain right now, and it is only supposed to get worse. Ugh, I wanted to play soccer today, but I guess thats not gonna happen. I finally started my job yesterday and made $60 in 4 hours. I caddy at a nice country club, so I am pretty happy.
Chief, congrats on the grandson. Treat him well, give him some CSX rolling stock and engines.
Well, I think I might finally post those pictures from York. Maybe a little later.
BTW, my dad is doing good. Hes been home since last Tuesday, and has been on his normal schedule ever since. Thanks for the prayers.
Chief! What are you waiting for?!?! Get out of there and go buy that boy a train set! Times a wastin'!!! Seriously, congratulations! He's a fine looking boy.
Time to get with it - staff meeting in five minutes, than first worship service in 30 min. Have a blessed day!
Morning All,
Chief Congrats again, great looking kid. Get trains in their blood early! I put a pic of my Grandson over in photo fun but I'm putting it here too while on the topic of grandkids, and getting them into trains
As far as the radon goes, if the house has been closed up for a period of time, the lack of natural air circulation creates abnormal accumulation of radon. Air the place out and retest. The numbers should come down.
John and all, thanks for the encouragement to annex the bedroom with a portal passthrough for layout expansion. I'm going to use it as a plea of justification.
Cool and overcast today, talking snow. I hope it holds off, youngest returning from D.C. to Cincinnatti today.
I went to diecast direct and looked at their vehicles. There are great 1/43's! I was looking for the 1/64 wiener car and could not find it. It may find it's way to the layout if I can find it.
I'll check back in later
God Bless
Jim
Morning all. Suppose to have had big rains early this AM. 1/2 inch so far. Under tornado watch. Sky could crack as feels real warm and windy. No rain right now. Off to Sunday School. Didn't go to early Church as wife restuding her lesson. She teaches the eldery ladies class. They love the "younger view" on things. Lesson is from Revelation. Glad I'm not teaching. Not my favorite book.
Carter's first words will be, "Norfolk Southern."

Good Morning All from NE Ohio
Where we once again have some snow on the ground. Good news is, it shouldn't last long.
Chief - good looking pics of your new Grandson. I do agree with John, CSX all the way!
Chuck - Good thing you are staying home again this weekend.
Here is a pic from yesterdays Open House.
lots of youngsters wanting to have trains!

Great pictures of Grandsons, maybe there should be a thread on grandkids pics and trains. It would be great. But probably some sicko out there somewhere maybe not so good an idea.
Carter is really a beautiful baby. Hopefully someday, when everything is right for it! Congradultions Chief and family.
Raining here this morning, 1st rain of the season!!! The season is practically over, goin to be a really bad fire seson this year!!!
Got another wall down on our elevated rail, now to do the section that attaches to the soffet. Going to be tricky I think trying to find studs or wood under stucco. Going to start packing for York, too. Busy day.
Have a great day !!
Don
Mornin All,
Chief, Congrats on the birth of your grandchild.
Weather in Denver is shaping up to be a grand day. We're looking at some low 70's here in the city with clear sunny skies. We have some rain and cooler temps approaching for tomorrow and tuesday. That's good though....the temps will be above freezing so it means rain versus snow and I'll take that.
I started my second bench yesterday. It's another 16x6. I tired quickly with the screws after stripping a couple of phillips bits. I have some other framing projects coming up around the house and decided to go buy a framing nail gun. This made the rest of the bench framing go together very quickly. While I would have loved spending the $300 towards track or a new locomotive.....I'll greatly benefit from this purchase in future home improvement projects.
I've got one more bench to build. IT will complete the horseshoe shaped bench layout. The last bench will be 6x6.
Well....got to get the day going. Going to finish up watching the F1 Grand Prix, then work in the trainroom for a few hours. Need to do some small "honey-do" projects and get ready for game 3 (Stars/Canucks) later tonight.
