Chief,
I have an EGR problem with my car too. I always get code PO400 EGR Flow Malfunction. Too lazy to change valve, I just erase the code.

June 28 thru July 1 is the Grand Opening.
VP's SIL is going to do that one [you can guess why].
Got company and my Pizza is ready. Nissan is fixed. EGR valve tube [should have been cleaned out when Dwight replaced the valve] was stopped up completely. Ran Atlas and Lionels this afternoon. All ran good. Later

Zeke - let's see the Holy Mountain, Alejandro! Bring it on!
Fife - Don't get me started on LEGO's! I've got about $1000 worth of Harry Potter Lego sets with the train and all in boxes in the basement. Now I got an email, they are putting out more sets, including a new castle section.... Man, I just don't know whether to get it or let it all go. The problem I have is with other people's kids. My kids and I could play with this stuff and take care, but other kids just see LEGOs and have no respect at all, they start ripping stuff up. AND this stuff gets expensive. Now they also have a lot more train stuff that is making me nuts as well....
Hand getting better and better, just little twinges today. John, thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers. Cool in St. Louis, only up to 80 and storms every day. Laz, we spotted your bear in Hillsboro, a very few miles from me!

I don't have the answer to your question, but here is the web site.

A friend from the TCA Museum, Phil Ritter, is going to have a display of 'Paper'. You will note that the Hi-Railers layout is not mentioned on the Museum site but their web site has it listed and Bill Parkinson has announced it on the OGR forum.

Zeke, we are waiting for the pictures of the mountain to comment.

Buckeye, actually we are hundreds of miles from the fires. The smoke is covering several states, including Alabama. It is much clearer today, though. Thanks for the good wishes!

Just when the smoke was getting better around here, a house up the street burned down and now it is back to heavy smoke conditions in the area. We have a scale train exhibit that is opening this week at the local museum. I hope to make it this weekend, but am on call and have also been recruited to help a preacher friend load up a moving van to head to Florida. Oh well, it is here till September, so I should be able to make it over there. I also understand that a train show will be in Pensacola next weekend, so we may make that too.
Hope y'all have a good day. If it started with Grits and a prayer, you know it will be good.

Good afternoon,
After lunch I stopped in at Barry's Train Shop for a regular visit. Wow, boxes stacked everywhere. Mike told me that Barry bought out someones inventory in KY. Thay had a clipboard with typed list of the items on sale, about 6 or 7 pages. Multiples of most items. I was like a kid in a candy store and of course the word is out already as the store looked like the Christmas season, crowded. I managed to get out without breaking the bank, but did pick up 4 Lionel 3-bay diecast hoppers with different road numbers for $34 each and 2 K-line diecast composite 2-bay hoppersfpr $10 each, all PRR. Also got 2 packs of BEEPeople & a FREE T-shirt.
Dr. John, Our prayers go with you and the Mrs. on your trip to Birmingham.
Don, I saw the notice about the Ontario Show on the MTH newsletter, but thought you would not be able to go since you had said you had a show this weekend. Hope the wife will let you sneak out a little.
Doug, Hope that you and yours have a nice vacation in the south. Only been to Hilton Head one time and it was just a short visit. Very nice place.
Well I am going to be spending a 3-day weekend "home alone". The wife and DIL are heading to the Delaware Shore with a group of ladies from the DIL's church. I am planning to make good use of my free time and Saturday will head to the PA RR Museum for Pennsylvania Days. The Liberty High-Railers are going to have an O gauge modular layout set up and lots of other special exhibits. Should be fun.
Take care,
Is anyone else having difficulty with this forum today? Doesn't seem right to me today. When I checked the pot today, it shows that we are still on page 317, but when I clicked the thread, I saw that we are up to 319.

Afternoon fellas and Ms Lisa.I have no idea what posts I was going to reply to so I'm not going to bother... I'll join Chief on the senior moment couch... someone bring some coffee too please!Wife won't leave me alone (she installed the GMail notifier on her work computer and now sends me gmail chat messages all day long)... not good. She really needs to find a job that keeps her busy or I'll be up to my earholes with work to do at the new house... speaking of which 15 days!Hmmm...Oh! Nick and John, almost forgot! Wife said we're not coming over till next June, or something like that, so you have plenty of time to get something set up. She said beer or tea would be fine as well. Also sent a link to the place her friend went to see Thomas... of course she sent it via gmail chat and now I don't have it any longer... --- edit ---OK just realized there is a scrollbar on the gmail chat window and if you drag the holder up you can go back in your chat history... http://www.midlandrailwaycentre.co.uk/ No jokes about the IT guy who can't work a scrollbar!I see the random poster has attacked again... well we have 53 more pages before he shows up again!
Had that problem with the DeLorean, "Lamda" light should show when O2 sensor needs replacing however a past owner had removed the bulb! I bought the car with 31000 on the clock which is about how long the sensors last. The light works on a counter which counts down to 100% of 31000 miles. The D was built before high tech electronics so the counter is mechanical. It's stuffed deep up under the dash. When the car started acting up the last thing I checked was the the bulb and Lamda system!
Nick
Chief - I had a similiar problem with the EGR light. Mine is resolved. Since the car is an '86, it didn't say "EGR", it would say "Check Engine Soon". Well after I had the engine replaced it still would come on after driving for about 1/2 hour at freeway speed. So simple fix..... Removed the light bulb. Worked fine, UNTIL go to have smog test down. Pass all the emission test way below minimum, but Technician REQUIRED to see light ON when the key is on. "Gee, must have a burnt out bulb". OK for two years, then need to install lightbulb.
Good afternoon. Dr. John, it does seem as if the smoke has lifted a bit. Still a haze in the mornings. Our headaches are getting better, so perhaps it is getting better.
Chief, good luck with the car...as was mentioned, you may want to check the car repair forums as many times folks have dealt with the same issues and often, they are moderated by "expert mechanics".
I won a few more cars from the auction last night. Got a "Cracker Jack" car and a SP box car. I have run out of room to put them, so perhaps I need to get rid of some of the wife's clothes so I can get more rolling stockJust kidding, if she heard me say that I would assume room temperature
Hope everyone has a blessed day,
Afternoon. BTW: did have popcorn last night.
Been on phone and doing car thing. Now for lunch. Talked to Altas. They said these engines had a antenna location that might be the problem. Still run good but will remember the locations on layout where signal is poor for them. He can not understand why they do not run good together at real slow speeds. Did run my MTH Santa Fe F3's last night. First time in 3 or 4 months. They ran good. Hope all are well. Forgot some of the replies I was going to post. Senior moment I guess.
OH, let the kind management know if you are still having software problems. They are really good at trying to fix them. I have to remind myself that they are extremely kind to frunish this forum for free.
Later.

The validity of that statement has been debated for centuries.
I think this is my 900th post,
Anyway, Buckeye if you get out here I would pick up lunch or dinner as well. Wouldn't find much in the way of grits, but, could get Tofu or Tacos.
Had a little problem with the elevated trains. The over extended roofs of the Denver & Rio Grande found the frame of the Log Skeleton cars. (Log train about 4" higher and 2" seperation) Anyway, major derailment, and the General doesn't bounce good. The interferance is only at 1 location. Was going to reset some track and decided would try first to switch train locations. That worked! Well Almost!!! The log train (Heisler) has an engineer figure with an arm that extends out of the window. Well that arm, reached out and grabbed one of the guard rail posts!! So upon further investigation, he was not seated properly. So I sat his *** down, and now NO PROBLEMS! Just further reminder of how important it is to keep your arms and legs inside a moving train.
Then yesterday, I spent about 3 hours cutting groves in a 8' shelf to accomodate sitting rolling stock on. Made grooves for the flanges to fit in so there would be no rubbing of cars and correct spacing. Turned out to be a waste of time. Set the groove too deep and the pickup rollers were too low. So ended up turning the board over, and using card board strips in between the cars. Some days it doesn't pay. Made over 70 cuts 19" long, spaced correctly but just a little to deep. Overkill.
Finally, this weekend is a Big Train show in Ontario (G-Scale) but they have a lot of vendors that carry stuff for O-Scale. Got some sound effects last year that are activated by a waffer switch. Bad news is we have a show at the same time, about 8 miles away. Think I will disappear for a couple of hours. Need to pick up some power pick-ups to eliminate 9v battery usage.
Hope everyone has a great day! Remember keep your arms in the window!
Dr John,
Better check that radar,could have been your arm speed that got clocked. It was fun and they had a dunk tank and of course the littlest ones got some help. I mentioned to the pastor that he was suppose to baptize people not drown them, Mi. Jim
Morning All
Another beautiful day in Southern Ohio, like many we could use rain. At least we don't have fires. Kind of surprizes me because so many people burn fence rows to clear them around here.
Dr. John - try looking at for an online nissan forum with a trouble shooting thread. I use them an they are helpful.
Doug - Great plans. Keep the home front happy
Zeke - age is not the factor as much as attitude. Kids are a blessing and trying at the same time. I was 23 when we had our first, and now at 51 have 3 grandkids. We only had two due to wife's health issue and they take through every emotion there is, even today. Like Doug and Jim and others are finding out, the teen years are the most challenging.
I think kids/parents relationship is a lot like our relationship to God, with us as the kids. I try to keep this in mind when dealing with kids. There are time when you may not like them, but you'll always love them.
Been real busy around here. Tearing down a building to make room for a garage addition. With it being in the 90's it been slow going. Got class this weekend andworking on final papers as there is about a month of classes left till summer break. Plan to build the garage addition then.
Lisa - hope hubby doing better
Don - Really like the guard rails on the overhead
David - Neat casting. Hope everything comes out OK
Chuck - stay cool and pace yourself
May God bless your needs
