There may be Mitch !! I'll go over & check !! Are you there ? !!
Well the chat room is an interesting place. Old guy like me has trouble following. It was good to chat a bit with Frank53 and MartyE, along with Zeke, Don Baker and CSXT30-John.
Off to bed.

I agree, that's more than I can handle. It IS great to be on-line, but its sure is fast. Can't keep the conversations straight. Better stick with what I know.
Great talking with you all !!!

Hi folks, just got back online - did I ever mention how much I LOVE windows!!! Can't get on my network, but I can get online now at least. Somehow, windows won't see my network now, but I can back up my files from quicken and they update in the shared folder???
No nuked popcorn for me tonight, John - sorry! Went to Culvers and had a butterburger deluxe with rings and then for desert I had a 2 scoop banana split. I can hardly move!
Wife is cutting a check for Jeff Kane right now for my new circuit board and motor for my 4-4-2. He's one nice guy - already shipped it based on my email and told me to send him a check! He did that with the last order I placed with him, too. Thanks for the headsup guys on that, I didn't thnk of trying a 3rd party seller and Lionel would have been much more $$$
Got an email and deepdiscount is shipping us the complete series of Buck Rogers for $16! Ha - they had it on sale and I nailed em with their 20 percent off code on top of that. For $16, it's worth owning --- bdbdbdbdbdbdbdbd- that's right, Buck! I wasn't sure they would honor that, since it wasn't the regular price on the set, which I think is normally like $40 or $50 (too much for that series, but for 15 to 16 it's worth it).
Oh, and Trainz sent me an email and my preorder 0-6-0 Lionel Lines loco and Boom cars shipped! I got that modern loco repair manual, but not very useful on my problem - basically it says if you have these symptoms, it's the circuit board so replace it. D'oh! It does have some good stuff in there including how to fix the fan on the smoke units and stuff.
I've got a picture for you guys that my wife took while she was on vacation - uh, I mean WORKING, in Washington all week. I'll post it on Sunday!
Jaabat - I think you are hilarious, keep it up! Belated birthday wishes for Julia! I read the pot every day as often as I can and usually catch up on reading all the updates on all the threads at least once a week. It's too much to reply to everthing and I don't have much to say on some topics, just trying to learn, but I sure appreciate this forum, esp this thread, and esp all you guys who put up with me and share so much good info and great humor/fellowship.
Well, I think that's more than my share of words for today so talk at ya later!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good night everybody.
The chat was good, better than last week. We should have it every night. It lets you get train info quicker. Had a good time talking with John, Don, zeke, chuck and others. Everybody have a good night!
Ran trains. Re-did a Lionel smoke unit on one of my scale SD80's. Smoke had dropped down. Shell off and found some char and loose solder join at element through board. Cleaned element, resoldered both joints, put in new pink insulation, shell on and drown it with JT's. Smokes up a storm now. May re-do the other SD80.
Need help with the usual MTH trash. One Triple Crown car keeps uncoupling. Had to put it at the end of the train [long train of piggybacks and double stacks]. Guess I have to get some retainer/braces rubber bands. Anyone got another cure? Seems the only rolling stock that does this is MTH. Got some more MTH cars that do this. Also, another Realtrax switch just quit. This one does not respond to the controler [acts if shorting out lights] and the switch will no move manualy if you turn the switch lantern. If you move the switch points, the lantern does not move. Acts as if the whole thing is not connected to the switch machine. Getting tired of being a switch mechanic on these high dollar switches. This and having to pull it out of the middle of several in layout.
Off to bed. Goooood night all.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cool and sunny 49 degrees. Going up to 80 today with lots of sunshine..
Today, I have a few things to do around the yard. We have company coming. later this afternoon. Niece and boyfriend. He wants to work on his car. Needs to borrow my tools. I will spend some time in train room, cleaning. Things are getting dusty. Need to run trains for awhile.
I enjoyed the chat room last night. It was good to talk to all of you, that showed up. It goes fast.
Well, Dining Car is here. Time for breakfast. I'll try to send it to " points west " and then to " far points west ". Maybe for lunch. Catch all of you later.
Y'all have a great Saturday.
Don, Tried the link to your chatroom; all I got was a box with caboose in the top RH corner. I posted a user name on the first page (John B) this also showed in the box on P2, couldn't make any sense of the thing at all;
Please! Can some one enlighten this TOG.

Good Morning Everyione !!
Hi John !! I think if you get your name up there you just click to the left of an X & a board drops down with allthe replies of the guys on the chat. Then you will see a window below next to some different colors & that's where you write what you want to say & then just hit ENTER on your keyboard !! You can go there anytime & practice !! Just holler if you need more help !! I hopre I explained it clear but perhaps someone else can explain it better !! I love it when 53 hollers at me for ringing the bell !!
HI GIZ,
Thank You for all the CONGAs on the Anniversary. Wife even said thanks. Crabs and beer were great.
Beauty of a day here at 58 this morning did a nice 5 miler. Going to try some trout fishing later today about 5, then if cool tonite have a fire with bro and eat dogs and burgers.

All have a good one.

Mornin' boys. Pretty groggy this A.M. Working too much O.T. this week. Will be headed up to Perryville this evening to get my NS-Amtrak-MARC fix. My friend Tom & I go up there every year around this time. It's a very busy place after 2100 hours, as it is the junction of the former Pennsy Port Road with the North East Corridor.
I better get a nap.

Good morning all!
Nice day here so far. 84 already and partly cloudy. Rain showers/T-Sorms predicted the next 4-5 days. Crazy!
Will be going to Tennessee for the week of the forth. Our annual vacation to the river - boating, skiing, waverunners, BBQing, fireworks, and lots o' fun in the sun!
Hope all are having a great day!
Regards, Roy
Another day, another emergency...or two. Had a emergency heart and then a gunshot. Sometimes, I just want off this train so I can play with my trains! Anyway, just catching up with all. I have been a bit on the busy side and wanted to send my best wishes to everyone. Hope Julia's birthday was wonderful. Marty, good to see you here. I caught your post the other day on the other forum. Between the two, I get a lot of information. I like the relaxed atmosphere of this one.
Anyway, hope y'all have a good weekend and get plenty of train time in.

Congrats, Laz - sorry I missed that!
Worked 4 hours OT then went to Sears for a pair of pliers, which they didn't have of course. They used to carry a lot more variety of stuff at the stores than they do nowadays. Picked up a different train magazine - S2 from Williams looks sweet!
good afternoon all...im headed out to the lake for some relaxing and girl watching** i mean sun bathing
chat last night was fun. cant wait till next week
Good evening all,
It rained again today in SE Indiana with temps in the 70s. I did the housework while my wife got caught up on the laundry. I did watch the IRL qualifying live on the internet at indycar.com. Scott Dixon was the fast time with Danica 11th. It is on ABC tomorrow. I did a little bit of outside work, but nothing too strenuous. There was bacon and biscuits on the dining car as it headed to "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good evening everyone,
My trip to Florida was good. I had a good time with my family. We ate at many good restaurants, and enjoyed very good food. Two of the restaraunts were on the intra coastal waterway, and we saw a good number of boats go through. I have many pictures. Our hotel room faced the ocean in Ft. Lauderdale, after we visited my uncle in Surfside, who's condo looks over the ocean too. I saw a number of interesting boats, and even two Navy Destroyers! Cars..........Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris. I was astounded.
I also went to the BPS there. Chief, I got a 95% on the shooting range, the one with the house, and the lighted circles. I was suprised that I was that good. It was at a pro level, so I wasn't complaining. And the Air Rifles there had to be as heavy as the real rifles. They were monsters!
Well, good night. I'm in for work at 6:30 AM.
well quiet tonight......got another truck load of wood today, just got back. I built side racks or walls for my truck so i can stack wood higher, heck i must have got 2-3 cords in there easily...my truck barely sagged...but it is a 3/4 ton and its a tought truck. i just love it except at the pumps..
well steak and potatoes are being cooked as we speak, late dinner for me, ive run out of steam.
earlier i had a electrician come out because i wanted 220 in my train / huge garage/shop cuz i have a linkin welder and other items tha t need 220 he told me he cant wire 220 in there...wouldnt give me a reason so i got someone else coming out. its always something..
