Hey Jumijo,
I am not loosing any sleep over the Patriots or the Redskins or the Dolphins football teams. About two years ago Miami handed the Patriots a loss on their last regular season game and cost the Patriots home field advantage in the super bowl. Miami is not doing good again this year but they can be an upset team at times, just when you think that your team won the game Miami will score and win the game which is what happened to your Patriots about two years ago. Personally I would like to see the Patriots win another super bowl but can we give somebody else a chance?
Best way to repair the wheel on your H.O. F7 is to replace it with a new one. I have tried a few repairs on wheels in S gauge with only minor success, used Squadron Green putty to add to the wheel flange and shaped it before it dried completely, I know that this is a poor man's fix but I was willing to try almost anything as A.F. parts are extremely hard to come by, also when ordering replacement parts you don't get what you want but what the parts place wants to sell. I tried a place that was recommended by somebody on here and got only the wheels for A.F. no axles as I needed both the wheels and axles. Still need eight sets of plastic wheels and axles for A.F.

No one should lose sleep worrying over a sport, Lee. And yes, we can give someone else a chance to win the Super Bowl. All they have to do is beat the Patriots.

Morning all!
Busy day today! Sunny and headed towards 78 today!
I start the Robotics class at the Elementary school today. I have 10 kids returning from last year - a record! The bad news is they are 6th graders (usually with attitude!).
Have a great day all!
Regards, Roy

fifedog - If you would happen to show up in Roger's Corners, Ohio, you will be my guest for a trip to HOGGY'S. The Chief and Blueberry have both been there, and I think they are ready to go again.

Back from my lunchtime walk. It's a splendid day out there. Especially for the victory parade going on in Boston right now. Mild and clear. High near 60. And with that, I'll get back to watching the celebration.
Hey Jimbo,
Beeting the N.E. Patriots is a rather tall order this year!!
Been playing with the new Super Street track and seeing what will actually run on it.
Going to work in a few hours, 3pm to 11:30pm, driving courtesy bus at WPB FL airport, watch out Jim boy if you ever fly into West Palm Beach!! Seriously Jim I will show you around town, you know we joke with each other at times.

Thanks for the gracious offer, Lee. I joke around with everyone. Some take me seriously and others, like you, don't.
See you in February?

In the year that I have been on the forum I don't know of you ever being serious - unless it was to wish well on someone having medical issues... all the other times you have been joking around... and there ain't nuttin wrong with that! WICKED!Patriots still cheat though....
Doh!
Ya know, Brent...that's funny.
I've been contemplating getting rid of my tubular track.......
Cloudy and rainy here again. The wind and rain has really taken a toll on the Halloween display, so I'll have to fix it all tonight, run the fog/lights/music tests for tomorrows extravaganza.
And I still have to get candy for the little ghouls......
I guess Wally World is open 24/7......
Later..

Have any Fastrack-to-tubular pieces, Brent?
Doug Murphy 'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...' Henry V.
Doug - No transition pieces...Rich - not going Tubular... I'm thinking of going Atlas-O as I really like the look of their track and I don't need roadbed on my X-Mas layout (would want to paint it white any way).Since I have a LOT of FasTrack I may just take it all to the LHS and see about working a swap. I know I have the following:2 Remote Left O-36 Switches2 Remote Right O-36 Switches12 O-48 Curves8 O-36 Curves3 Terminal Straights1 Operating Track1 Accessory Track1 2pk Lighted Bumpers1 Elevated Trestle Set2 Grade Crossings with FlashersI know I have more O-36 curves and I don't know how many 1.75, 4.5, 5, and 10 inch straights.I'll have a complete list tonight...
Brent: You've got PM mail.
Good Afternoon from Blueberryhill....
Couldn't get into the Forum this morning....
It is a beautiful day today. 70 degrees. Sunny. Cold last night. Frost.
Just finished mowing back yard. Sat outside for awhile. Might as well enjoy the weather while it still lasts. No trains today.
Chief...Glad to hear your dog is better today.
Everyone have a great day.
Chuck
Guys let me post the complete list before you PM me... That way I can be 100% sure I'm posting accurate info.

So many roads, so little time.

up an down trains-in the U.K. trains and tracks heading in the general direction of London are refered to as up trains or tracks. Down would be trains or tracks heading in the general direction away from London.
corridor coach- a passenger coach with a corridor the lenght of the coach, usually having a connection to the adjacent coaches. Non-corridor coaches have no coridors and usually have two sections to a coach and door between each set of seats. These multple doors allow quick loading and unloading of passengers particually desiable in commuter service.
shunting across the road-shunting is switching but I don't know what across refers to.
I lived in England and worked for British Rail 1971-1973. I was a guard(conductor) for a year and a half, My home depot was Ashford, Kent now an Internationl train station near the Channel Tunnel.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Hey, I think Laz got caught running around in the woods again?!

Evening all. Went by Miss Edna's. Got a Thomas set for Carter. We are actually giving him his Lifetime Sportsman's License for Christmas. That is the all the hunting and fishing license he will need for lifetime. The Lionel Big Boys have not come in yet.
Just finished watching two Charlie Brown shows. Sure is a striking resemblance of Charlie Brown and Fife.
Brutus, seen that person before. Lives in MA and posts on this forum.
Cold again tonight. Meetings for the Town tomorrow.
Peek doing a lot better tonight.
Later.

Good evening everyone. Hope all is well. Just tried to catch up with all the past posting, but it is an insurmountable task I am afraid. Got a bit crazy today with work, but did get to daughter's ballet class in time to gather the family and head out to dinner. It was nice getting together with the family as it has been so busy between work and the movie, I get too few chances to just relax and enjoy.
Chief, I'll send you a email, better take care of yourself. I don't think we can hold the line against the yankee horde if you are out of commission.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great night.
Dennis
PS: Buckeye, thanks for the kind thoughts. Been real busy, but will try to post when I can. Also, got to sample some "Buckeyes" as sold by Cracker Barrel", they are good, but not good for you.

Brutus I do see the closeness of the 2 LAZ and what ever you might have the answer there

Watching Bones on DVR - yuck! Chief, found out over in IL it's illegal to feed or make pets of deer! Didn't get home until late. Will have to play trains with kids tomorrow night Just got word a barn and chicken coop set I bought finally shipped. Took forever to read all my mail and catch up on the pot etc!!! I think RT is right - will be watching for a new Coffee Pot at 00:00:01 on Jan 1, 2008!!!

EVENING ALL
Brutus you promised not to post that picture. But at least you used someone elses name.
Stomach feels like I drank battery acid, had evening meal at local coney island. Same thing happens with White Castles but sometimes it just seems right and you know what the result will be but, one must sometimes.
Started gathering for sundays show but I don't want everything out all week so I will add a little each day. Hope sales are good want more train money. See you in the morning,nitey nite. Sir james
