John Baker What is Marmite???
About 22 degrees right now....we're supposed to have some HIGHS this week in the single digits!!!

Underworld, Marmite is a bi-product of the brewing industry. People usually have a strong reaction to their first taste. I like it on toast , but my cousin from California hates the stuff it was intresting watching her face when she tried it while visiting us.

However if it came down to Marmite or Waffles, Waffles win hands down.

Brent,
I get all kinds of facial looks from my daughter without doing anything special. I get really good looks from my 13 year old son by just existing in his space
Your layout plan looks good.
Regards, Roy

Marty - I know how you feel - with the new forum software where you cannot see all the posts from the present page (like you could before) makes it tedious to chat and acknowledge what the other folks are doing. Maybe after it settles a bit and I am happy about the improvements made so far - maybe they could attack the quick reply with current page viewing issue.
Cold here. Snowed a little last night but it was gone by 10 am. 40's today - cloudy.
Kids are home for teacher work day. DAughter is working as a stage hand in the HS spring musical so she has to go in today at 3:30 anyway. She got to sleep late but is now lying in bed talking on the cellphone to her boy-friend .
Buckeye - hope you feel better soon.
Dennis - is the modern-era book you bought different than what is posted on Lionel's web site?

It's more of a joke. Because I can't keep up with the news and happenings I posted earlier that usually because I'm so lost as to what's going on in the thread I usually just post..."Have a nice day" anymore.

John,
How was the museum? What do they have you doing there?
Don
Good morning guys & gals,
In spite of the forcast it is pretty nice here. Temps in low 30s, Sun in and out & nothing coming down at the moment.
Planning to start Geranium seeds in the greenhouse today. Then work on a couple of layout projects.
Still no posts from Mitch?

Morning all. Been watching a John Wayne western on Westerns Channel. One of his early ones with the Quaker girl. Will there ever be another Duke? Doubt it. Cloudy and cool but NO snow. Let it snow on Ohio, let it snow. Trains for a while and then later go to retirement bash for buddy. New England guy and the Brownies. Well, he looks real bad in that dress. Something about those knobbie knees. Have a good one.

Morning all'
Cold snowy and slick out.
Reggie, Beautiful little girl, you got a keeper!
Buckeye, hang in there, like they say, this too will pass.
Roger, there was a guy on ebay that sold bulbs and I've gotten several from him as you are describing. I'll search and see if I can find his name ect. for you. They work well and are cooler but not as expensive as leds.
Started documentating the 752 Seaboard Coaler redo. Just looking and figuring disassembly, wiring diagrams pictures and the like, should not be too bad.
Off till next Thursday! This is the good part of shiftwork. Got to run, errands and homework to finish before class Saturday
Later
Geez, Marty's right this thing MOVES!
Reggie: Congrat on the little one. I love mine, she sez she'll take care of me when I'm old (she's 14)
RT: Happy 52!! (I'll hit that one in APril!)
Buckeye: I understand your pain...done it twice, no thanks not again...hope it gowes well

Good morning from a cool Chicago where it is 4 below. What is this talk about a little dampness, icy roads, and dusting of snow elsewhere - I think I now know what the inside of the freezer of the refrigerator feels like - made the mistake of wearing 'normal' shoes this morning - may my toes thaw by noon. I wish one of you guys lived next door and could saunter over and look at my layout. Sometimes I think I'm making a big wiring or electrical mistake just because I'm misinterpting something I read or am just ignorant about...
I had that feeling after running trains last night - when one of my sidings appears to not work. Rats. I was also fiddling with enhancing the traction of the Rail Zepp. All my extra traction tires are too big. Maybe I'll get some rubber cement. It sure 'flies' around the layout with that clockwork motor but still hangs up on a far curve when it starts to wind down. Then I use the youngest to crawl back and get it - he loves it. No pileups though. Bear Down! I like that double-trolley line, lionroar.

That worked better. I guess you said that twice. I missed it the first time. That's a busy layout!Thanks,Wes

Well I was really bored at work yesterday so I threw this together... just a rough rendering of what I am contemplating for the new house train room...--- Click slightly to the right of the image and it will blowup in a new window... you can then click the other image and it gets bigger. ---
The RR Yard is self explanatory...The 6 track 'yard' is going to be a passenger station - very large... each loop will have its own 'Express' track with two sidings to get to their area of the station.The yellow line is a two trolley line... but now that I have see the SuperStreets video that may change...The blue line is a logging train line.There are two two track bridges in the background over the river and a single track bridge in front of the double bridge, slightly lower.The mountain line would be 16 inches above base, most of the track would be at grade 0", the mainlines would attain a maximum height above grade of 8", no uphill grades greater than 3% and no downhill grades greater than 2%.There will be a town between the passenger station and the lake, to the right of town will be a mountain in the background and a large oil field in the foreground. There will be another mountain in the rear left corner, with farm land in the foreground to the left of town.The turntable will be removable to provide access to the yard. The 4 long spurs off the turntable will be covered by a scratch built roundhouse.
Morning all, Lisa, one time when I lived in Columbus, GA, they had all the parents pick up the kids at 10am as they thought it was going to snow, never did. Boy did that create a lot of problems in the hospital, all the nurses with kids having to leave at the same time.
Jim, tell all the brownies that to start your day off with a large bowl of GRITS and they should be alright!
Not much going on today. A little slow on the surgery schedule, so I have plenty of time to catch up with y'all's posts. A bit chilly down to 45F this morning, but going up to the mid 60's. Hope everyone is doing well and that those in the GREAT WHITE NORTH are getting along OK. I did find a source for the "Modern Era" Greenberg book. Got it for well under $30. A good bit less than the $244. best price when done with Google.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great day.

Bruce,That is just priceless!!!We were supposed to have snow storms, turning to freezing rain and snow this morning... roads were just slightly damp... yet everyone was driving 10-15 mph under the speed limit! Good thing the left lane was fairly open!Long day ahead of me... we have been approved for the loan, now we are waiting to hear from the foreclosure bank if they accepted the offer... I hate waiting... Maybe I should stop by the massage parlor on the way home for a relaxing massage... too much tension...RT - got your email... sent you a reply.Brent
Bruce, to this day, that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV!
Morning all!
Happy Porcupine Day! Gormley Gerty, our prognosticating Porcupine saw her shadow this morning so we predict 6 more months without TMCCII.
Speaking of bad weather predictions, Lisa....this reminds me of the snowstorm that never materialized. The next morning on the news the anchorwoman turned to the weatherman and asked, " What happened to that 8 inches you promised me last night?" It took a while before the news crew could collect themselves enough to continue working.
