88 Heres todays progress of the shelf layout have all 6 cars up behind the A-B-B-A now figure I'm about 13.5 to 14 Feet of B&O there .
Sorry about darkness in pics need to work more on that as I have to stand way off to get pics maybe some more light in the room will help as flash isn't cutting it lol
fifedog- hey no problem i wasnt on for long. had a busy day yesterday. making trashrun today! fun,lol
rttraincollector- think of it like this if she spends money on pottery then you get to spend more on trains to right? seems fair, i dont that with my gf she like making soap. If i help with her hobby she helps with mine. Win win!
tmcc man- good luck at the docs hope it aint nothing bad!
dr. john- too bad you didnt get the old ford. I had a 68 camper special with a 490 in it long ago. served me well. Had 350,000 when it died finally!
Not much here going on except making dump run.
Goint to the redneck championship later on for some roadkill cafe dinner
stay out of trouble all
Afternoon everyone,
I have a sinus infection, so nothing too bad, which I am thankful for. I hope everyone had a good day, and has a good evening.
heck ya.. yard sales are fun going to as long as it isnt too hot. you never know what you'll find .plus you always see new things that you might never see, some good some bad.
Boy is it Hot here! Kevin, open the door, we need some cooling. Was 98 today. We ended up going to the Herritage center where they have a very well done HO layout. Also have a 4-6-2 that they are restoring. I am not completely up on which steamer this is, no cab yet, but the rest looks to be close to finished. The tender says Georgia Northern, but I noticed the trucks on it say "erie RR". They also have a HO club layout in a REA car.
Bride is taking daughter shopping. Hope they don't stay out long $$$$, also the storms are heading in. Son and I will go up and work on the layout.
Don, I will try again to post on your question regarding your layout. Have one idea, but it does look good.

My $$$ is on Don...
Mitch
My $$$$$ are in Don too. He's got more time and more $$$$ to spend on finishing his. Mine will still be better as it is Norfolk Southern.
At hotel taking my first break for the day. May not be able to get back due to the crowd. Got back to the room as the pretty senioretta was making up my bed. Very nice and friendly lady. She gets a tip.
Mr. Buckeye, just because of your comments about me, I am going to be on Buckeye Street early tomorrow morning. I will stop, go over behind a tree and p-- on Buckeye. Then board my flight with a big . Back to the store.

Whoa, talk about a yard sale !!!!!
The other half did her yard sale trek this morning and didn't find much of anything but decided what the heck I'll make this one last stop. Talk about a great decision ! They were disposing of the last of their grandfathers possessions that the rest of the family had no interest in keeping.
For $40, she came home with an LGB starter set, 0-4-0 steamer with two passenger cars, Lake George & Boulder, an LGB Pabst woodside reefer, a Bachmann Christmas gondola and an LGB AT&SF bobber caboose. As well as enuff extra track to make an oval about 5' x 14'.
They told her that they couldn't get it to run, so if she had any problems she could bring it back. Don't know what their problem was but it has been running for about 3 hrs now with no sign of any failures. Eventually will need new track connectors but as of now no connectivity issues.

Doug,
That is about $800 to $1,000 worth of stuff. Heck of a deal.
Way to go Doug! Colin, take the antibiotics and you'll be fine. I used to get sinus infections every year, but now on Claritin D and Flonase and no infections since. Buckeye better watch out or Chief will go to the store and cover Buckeye with Grits before he leaves! Zeke - great deal on teh truck, guess I forgot to post on that. Hi Kevin, keep watching the northern border. The Soviets - uh, I meen Putinites might try sneaking some nuke subs through again.
Worked 4 hours OT then to a local Hot dog place for lunch, meeting the wife and kids coming from swim practice with our friend Dave and his kids. Then he wanted to go to Festus to a comic book store so we followed. The guy is selling trains too! He is strictly MSRP but very nice guy and so I bought a couple plasticville kits to show my support. Got the covered bridge and coal tower. My daughter was sad, cause he didn't have any cows. She wants a whole herd now. They had already put together houses, but at $39 a little pricey for me. Anyway, I'll try and give him some more business. He indicated he had a bunch of old 30's - 50's Lionel at home in boxes.... Hmmm, might want to follow up on that if it's not stuff he cares about anymore. Maybe make a few deals! Gotta go to dinner in a minute, so TTFN guys.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
The chief is going to P on Buckeye St, Can he do that? A guy I worked with would tease me about my home town(Toledo) and the beautiful muddy Maumee river. He said he stopped on the bridge and p'd in it. The yellow spot is still there. so i would get even by calling his home town Wilkys berrys (PA).IT went on for years and nobody won. I received my ebay frt. car today, as listed, 1991 still new in box. I'm planning to look in later to see who drop by.

Laz,
Was wondering what brand of wood planer you would recommend for a home woodshop. I have been looking at getting one. My late father had a fairly well equipped woodshop. There is still quite a lot of rough cut lumber in the shop. I was given the radial arm saw but the planer is just too large. Was thinking that a three blade unit would be a better investment but there are a few two blade units that seem adequate for what I want to do.
Buckeye,
Still viewing the world from the bridge?
Geez, the Cubs scored four runs in the first inning tonight. Braves managed to score two runs in their half of the first. Trying to decide whether to go to the Indians-Braves game next Saturday in Cleveland or go to a family function. About the same distance either way but the family gathering would be less expensive. Game is tied now. Update! Braves leading 5 to 4.
Think Karen and I will take advantage of this great weather and go for a walk.
88, Why do cats always wait until the wife is gone before they do something to make a mess? Same thing happens here all the time with our cat.
Greg, Short answer...YES.
great find at the yard sale!
i was a busy guy today! did a dump run and took the beagle to the river to swim...
And...........................................stopped at a few yard sales. Found a few tools i needed and a new bench seat for my truck for a buck. its the soft material instead of the vinyl makes for a cooler summer...wont stik to y legs or burn my legs when they get hot...
i have a huge surprise but i am afraid if i post it either i will be banned from here......or someone will hunt me down and get my new surprises......
will take my chances and post pics in a little bit

Not yet. Just got back from dinner at the waffle house. I had waffles and cheese grits. Chees grits are better, but they still put all this melted butter in there that I don't like - just way too much. I tried to drain it off, but only a little luck, so I couldn't eat them all. I was full from the waffles anyway though.
88, what movies did you get? I just got a load of dvds I bought from deepdiscount for 20 percent off, including Monk Season 4, Tales from the Crypt Season 5, South Park Season 6, Seven Deaths in the Cats Eye, Seven Blood Stained Orchids, The Mario Bava Set Vol 1, Lizard in a Woman's Skin, and Pan's Labyrinth. I wait for these sales to get the sets I want.
Good evening,
Kevin, nice to hear from the northland.
Sounds like everyone but Brent is having a good weekend.
Was working on the LNE A-B-A TMCC conversion today. The B is finished, now working on the leading A which started out as a dummy. Added a power conversion truck to the rear truck and installed an electrocoupler on the front. Wired up an LED headlight but have not mounted it yet. Want to build a cab from gray ABS and put in figures. Think I will light it with a yellow LED and see how it looks. Also want to use LEDs to light the marker lights. All this will take a while as I am slow.
Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Greg - do you have a jointer too, or is the model you got a jointer/planer? If you go from a big machine that does both, you will need to buy separate smaller tools. First you joint and then you plane. Otherwise the planer will follow the board and you'll end up with a smooth but crooked board. Right Laz?
hey guys check out the post "everyone maight hate me now"
Hey Cheif,
You should moan? Three hours is nothing, we're six to eight ahead of you and I've just got out of bed and promptly fallen over AGAIN! This problem with my balance is going to result in a visit to the Vet. if I can make it without the help of a paramedic?
It all adds to the joy of growing old.
John Baker
jon bakeer- be careful with that fallen over ...wouldnt want to hear you got hurt...
night owls.......the night is young and its nice out im taking the pup for a walk....
ran the new train tonight...not sure i really like it....sure i will learn to
heres a lil simulation video i found its long but real neat, theres a nice layout at the end too...
http://www.model-railroad-resources.com/locomotive-video.html
0900GMT in a very sunny and warm Stockport +17C and rising- +25C expected midday, Phew!
Hi Zeke, Thanks for the sympathy, have put more drops into the orifici, not much improvement though, so I guess it must be an infection requiring a visit to the Vet.
That video is a fair treat. The graphics on that simulator are awsome, bet they need a lot of computer to run those? I have a daughter lives in Perth Western Australia. Sent second ex-wife over to stay but she came back!
The Ausy steam and early diesels were based on British prototypes, the later stuff is US manufactured under licence in Australia, they also use a lot of Jap gear for the passenger (MU) fleet.
not a problem ...we should look after each other.....
well im off to bed, i tried to search for what my new loco was but didint find it...oh maybe later
goodnight and good moning east coast
Morning Everyone
I brewed a fresh pot. I'm up and kickin and Zeke's just going to bed... He keeps the same hours as my 22 year old. I was like that once. During college I never went to bed before 3:00 (AM), now it's a rare night if I can stay awake til midnight.
A few months back I wrote about my buddy Dave who had kidney failure due to a rare condition. Well now the poor guy has had to have bypass surgery. They did 5 bypasses and repaired a congenital whole in his heart on Tuesday. He is such an upbeat positive guy. I spoke to him for a few moments on Wednesday and he seems to be doing well. I hope to go visit him today if his wife says he is up for visitors.
Not much else to report on here. Four more days with kids, then I can begin to get ready for the new job.
Take care,
Bob Mitchell Gettysburg, PA TCA # 98-47956 LCCA# RM22839
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 52 degrees. Going up to 82 today. With sunshine. It is going to be another beautiful day in Ohio.
Today, I have a few chores to do around the house and yard. Then, I will take it easy. Enjoy the weather and relax. Next weekend will be busy. Traveling North on Saturday and company on Sunday. Can't do too much with gas prices around 3 dollars a gallon.
Nascar race from Pocono today. #20 is starting 6th. Hope he finishes 1st.
Looking forward to Sunday Photo Fun today.
