They take a chip off one of the crystals and toss it into water on an O-Gauge RR! What I wouldn't do to have the layout in my basement! Of course the layout gets destroyed as the crystals grow!Any one ever seen a layout plan for that layout?
There were photos posted on the web somewhere at one point. It may have also been in CTT. You could try searching the forum or Google it/

And who said they were going to get trains running before me!!!! Even made a big deal of it on the forum. You don't have trains running yet? [tee hee ha ha snicker].
Gang, could not resist the chance.

Chief - great job on the layout - really looking good for bare tabletops - now - when do we get scenery? I heard some rumor about GRITS mountains?
Off to the Big Apple early early tomorrow. Check in when I get back Sunday. It will be nice to get somewhere a bit warmer than Dallas!
Have a great day tomorrow all!
Regards, Roy

Why did you post this???? Doesn't bother me but I wonder. Wife started Zpack this evening and has gone 4 times since I have been home from Town Board. I'm on a stronger one than she is. This usually doesn't bother her. Hope she doesn't have the flu. Stuborn and will not take flu shot like I do.
I'll sleep on the couch tonight so I don't get it and she can rest [or maybe me rest as she may be up and down all night].

Sure sounds like a MAJOR WAFFLE HOUSE invasion is brewing.
Surrvived the week-end, and actually a little warmer today. Got up to 63. So maybe the door is moving a little.
Trying to coordinate the El Camino upgrade....
Bought a flair kit from Guy A, he recommended Guy B for some other things I wanted. Guy B is known as "El Camino Mike"
Guy B says high I can get a Really great paint job from Hector, Guy C.
Guy C can't figure out the flair kit, calls Guy B, and returns some of the parts to him.
Guy B calls Guy A, Guy A says I've made over 50,000 of these and there all the same. (Didn't know their where that many El Caminos.)
Guy B calls me to take the parts to Guy A. Guy B says he isn't sure what the problem exactly is that Guy C is having.
I go to Guy B pick up the parts, then go to Guy C to see the problem. (alignment issues). Go back to office call Guy A to make sure their wasn't the wrong part in the kit. Guy A insists the kit is correct, and can I bring the car to him. (Can't it is totally stripped for repainting.) Finally Guy A says he will call Guy B, and they will go see Guy C. But I have the parts!!
So I got to get the parts to Guy C, before Guy A and B get there. Don't understand why they needed my involvemnet.
Think I'll go play with the trains.

Good morning from a chilly New England.
It's a bit nipply here today. Temps in the single digits. I liked the warm weather we were having BEFORE the Chief came up here!!
Antibiotics can upset a stomach for sure. I was just on a very strong one for pneumonia. By the end of the course, I was feeling it. On the bright side, my previously too tight pants now fit much better! My wife is having an even worse time. Fortunately, she is now done taking them. She could stand to lose a few as well!!!
Chief, the layout is looking great. A long train on my layout is 12 cars. anything longer and it looks like a snake chasing its tale!
Gonna pay the good Dr. Tinker a visit pretty soon. Haven't seen him in a while. Got some bidness to discuss with him.
Roy, have a great trip to NY. Taking down the layouts?
Don, good luck with that El Camino. What a hassle! You should have bought a Corvaire!

only 19 degrees this morning when I left for work!Supposed to get to a high around 32 today...Weathermen can't get their act straight... one channel is calling for rain/snow mix on Friday and Monday, other channel is calling for sunny skies!
Good morning all,
It is sunny and cold in SE Indiana with temps in the 30s. Lucas had his girlfriend over for a visit last night. I went to the YMCA. My wife subbed for an entire day for the first time this year. It was a rough day for her as some of the kids were ornery. Oh well, she will get back into a routine. Lucas works tonight so I may get some train running done in the back room. Dweimer, I can sympathize with you on the El Camino. Sometimes it takes an act of Congress to get anything accomplished. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Mornin' boys. Well looks like I've got a "mini" vacation on my hands...6 year old came down with the "chickee-pox". I've got some new nickel-metal hydride batteries ready to be installed in a couple of engines, guess I'll do that today.
88 - those images are awesome! I'd try sending them to MTH, since they no longer concern themselves with accuracy. They look like they just came from the art department of the what-ifs... The C&O version looks like two BL-2's spliced together, either way, good show.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is cold here. 18 degrees Sunny. Going up to 35 and sunny. It's nice to see blue skies and sunshine after 3 days of rain.
Today, I am going into Cambridge, grocery shopping. Hate that job, but it has to be done. Gas prices are down again $2.10. Must be time to jump around on the pump prices. Maybe later, I'll do a little work on the layout and run some trains. I need to take some pictures.
Well, Dining Car is serving breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck
Chuck,
Two gas stations near me are having a price war. $1.93/gallon!
Roy, RE:NY layout.
When you take down the layout is it totally dismantled, placed in storage - your place or the client's, what happens to all the goodies, etc.?
Took me three tries to post this, this screen disappeared or locked up on me. Hope the third times a charm. Probably too much activity at the same time.
Hi GIZ,
Same weather here as in CHUCKs neck of the woods cold amd windy to get snow on thur-friday morn. Maybe 2hr delay?
JIM, great price on gas. Hope it continues to drop.
All have a good one?
Morning all. Off to work she went. Feeling fine this AM.
Don B, speaking of El Caminos. I bought one in 1971. SS with bubble hood, mag wheels and 350 engine. It was fast. Tried it out on a straight away one night going to a fire call. It hit 120 and I backed off. I drove unitl 80 K, Dad bought it from me and drove it until 135 K [when he died] and Frankie drove it until 165 K. Same engine, transmission and etc. Sold it to a guy who had the time to restore it. My fishing partner [Frank Hodge] has them. Frankie just installed a new stereo system in one of Frank's. Frank also has the new type El Camino they came out with sevral years ago [forget what it is called] with the covertable top that stores behind the seat. Don't make those anymore. This one is Yellow.
Got to get packed to go to Greenville NC and Overton's Marine. Spend the night and drive back tomorrow evening. Turned cold. Could see some icing in NC but not probably not. Pro Mariner boss flew in yesterday from NH and brought in those Yankee temps. Hope to give trains a spin around the track before leaving. Later.
Good morning from beautiful Ohio with clear blue skies and a warming sun. Temp 16 degrees and ice is on the pond.
Worked in the train room last night. Always something that needs to be done.
For Christmas, my Mom gave me another year's subscription to CTT Magazine. Thanks Mom!
See ya down the tracks,

All too often the folks that prescribe the antibiotics don't tell you all the information. I would hate for you to have a bad experience. Also, with the flu season at hand, some may confuse the side affects of the antibiotics with the flu. In either case, just wanted you and the rest to be informed. We try to keep y'all happy.
Roger, I believe the information I read on the layout Roy is going to dismantle stated that they designed the layout for transport and storage at the company Roy is working for. I hope it goes well and that we get to see it many more times in the future.

Laz and John, thanks for the heads up. Do you think they will go well with the Madisons? I had been looking at steam, but this may be the way to go. I only have one set of F units and those are the Lackawanna set.

Yes. But for a few weeks now, I've been seeing a space between the first and second posts. Then the rest are all stacked on top of each other.
