Hay it is snowing off and on here at the southern edge of Columbus, I am warm at my computer where the music is allways in the 80's except for the occasional Johnny Cash train song
Snowbody on the pot at the moment??? Snowway I am going out today unless I have to
Chef have you ever heard of Groundnut Soup??? I have an americanized version that uses peanutbutter it is spicy and very good. It was from Africa and brought back by a missionary friend of the family from church.
Dr who fans here and across the pond I seen the Dr who movie that came out a few years back and allthough the effects were good as special effects go they just did not fit the "feel" of the Dr who theme.

Agian, our Southern Boy doesn't know SLEET from SNOW!!! We are getting a mixture of ice and rain which is worse than snow.
Did you hear the Chief just got some new fancy locomotive? Just watch him run it off the table and land on the poor dog asleep on the floor. The dog, startled, will jump on the layout and knock over several cars and locomotives and after the melee, the Chief's repair bill will be greater than his new locomotive.
Laz and Don B. don't waste your money. If you received instructions from the Chief you would need to pay someone to interpret them for you, unless you have taken your advanced course in Suthern.
It has been a very busy week for me. Some of you know why, some don't.
Wes, did you get my email?

cnw1995 - Thanks Doug-a-roo. I've been getting updates during the day on my buddy's new set. His Mrs was even up this morning turning a few laps.
As for Willy Wonka, I too was a dyed-in-the-wool Wilder fan, but I got to admit, the score by Danny Elfman is fabulous (I was a big Oingo-Boingo fan in the 90's).
Chief - rest assured, DietCoke was not consumed in any quantity.
Gotta get down to the layout now. Seven year old is itchin' to paint my new mountain...let's see, where did I put that copy of Child Labor Laws...
Got to work with a CW-80 on monday of the past week, it is a nice small size transformer. It will work with post war engines, the only problem I encountered with the CW-80 was that it will work the horn feature on post war tenders with either the horn or whistle button being pressed, not so with the newer tenders from Lionel. On a short circuit the green light will flash several times, have not tried the accessory output side of it.
Don't know how it does with Williams engines and tenders, will have to take a Williams over to Jerry's to see how it does.
Hey Chief! Keep us posted about the new Legacy system!!
Hey Jimbo!! Got tired of driving around the airport every day, have new job.

Now we know how that layout got to be so good. Seven year old built it.
PRAISE THE LORD. ITS POURING RAIN!!!!
Raining here with droping temps to change over to snow in the morning, Northern Ohio to have close to blizzard conditions.
Well, 2 hours of quality Daddy/daughter time in the books. We painted the entire ridgeline to Wills Mountain, while listening to a little Vince Guaraldi Trio, and a little Tony Bennett.
No precip here as of yet.
Phillyreading-You did not have a problem with the CW-80. A PW horn or whistle relay does not matter which way the DC + or - is. so the relay will work from horn or whistle button.
Lite snow most of today,but they are predicting 6 to 10, some places 15 inchs of s##w by this time tomorrow. outing to train show and then to store was nice but no new toys.Same sellers, same stuff. Later, Sir James

Good evening all,
What a day! The wife and I went back and forth on whether to go to Bloomington for a wedding today. We finally decided to go and the roads were fine. It was a long day. We did get some Christmas shopping done so it was not a total waste. The couple getting married are still in college and way too young and she is not pregnant. I hope it lasts, but if it manages two years, I will be surprised. The "saucy wench" in the kitchen made bacon and biscuits for the dining car this morning, and there is plenty left over for tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Chief, you would have liked one thing at the wedding. They served sweet iced tea, and it was good. No grits, though.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
We had some rain and sleet here maybe a couple inches when I got up this morning. Don't know how many inches it would have been as real snow instead of snow-like crud. We went to son's basketball games and it was actually raining and sleeting, but it was snowing when we got home at about 4:30. Daughter and I cleared the driveway while son took a shower after the game. We'll have to do it again tomorrow, but since it is now snow, then I think the snowblower should work tomorrow - today it was just slush and sleet so it didn't work very well and we switched to shovels. Sure goes through a "tank" of gas fast! I have enough for a couple more refills I think, but will need to get a new can that holds more before the next snow. It's a 40:1 mix. I might just convert the 3 gal can I have for the lawnmower and replace it next Spring. No train time today, but hope to work on the Christmas layout tomorrow.
Chief - Legacy sounds great, keep us posted sir!
Sir James, Nick, Doug, John S, Laz, John B and all others, we have key lime pie, cookie-dough icecream, potato chips, or mixed nuts, so come on over! BYOB - wife didn't get to the grocery store.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Chief - I would REALLY recommend that you take the Big Boy back inside!!
Its a "L E G A C Y" system, and NOT "L E G A S E A" systen, and you are right that section about addressing the system, means putting it in the box and sending it to Don Baker, Cerritos California.
I hold off on sending the $100, because you would NEED to READ the manual, and by the time that is completed, Legacy III will be enroute. Just my
Don
IT,s A SNOWEN,
Brutus - No cashews? ok i'll drop buy anyway. Repairman at favorite train store slipped on last weeks ice and cracked his shoulder. He must have landed on his arm as everything is badly brused and hand is swollen more than twice normal size. He asked if I would help with repairs and I sure would not say no as he does favor's for me. he is turning away many repairs but most regulars are going to wait until he is better.What he wants from me is the flyer type quick to fix items. Going to head for the barn but not looking foward to the mornings snow fall.Good nite Chewy, Sir james
HI GIZ,
Well got CHRISTMAS tree today with brother. At least we did bag something this year. A tree!!!!
Ran trains for two hours NO PILE UPS!!!!! All ran good.
CHIEF $100 for LEGAC, well if its in Southern, all the dictionaries are sold out up here. You'll have to reprint and we know how long that well take?
Still waiting for the BIG STORM???? I think its another FIZZLE. sort o like my frizzen pan right before the flintlock goes off.
All b safe.

Sir James -- I'll leave the cashews in the tin - don't eat the peanuts, chewy licked the chocolate off them
Doug - I've got an electric, but it's very small - it's like a shovel? I think it's a Toro. It works pretty well, but takes a long time and if the snow is deep it takes a long time. They have a bigger electric model I've seen advertised, but I never found one to look at in person, is that what you have or the shovel one? I picked up this Craftsman one at a garage sale. It does have electric start, but I used manual today because I didn't want to move my truck to get the power cord - big mistake, should have got the cord! Will do tomorrow for sure.
All BSafe is right, Laz - every road around us is a sheet of ice now that the sleet has refrozen and snow is about 4 inches I guess. Not the 15 Sir James is getting at least. Hope Blueberry Hill got to run his trains too!

My dog JANE seems to do that alot? DA! Ruins all good food that falls on the floor.
Evening all,
Taking tonight off for the Rite of Acolyte service in Columbus. Made it up there and back with no problems. Worse snow was in the Columbus city limits. Due to the predicted weather I asked folks who were going to come not to try the drive. Daughter in Cincy had ice so she stayed home as well as oldest daughter who was going to go up with us. Now it is rain and lots of it. Already having low land flooding.
Thanks to all for the congrats on receiving the Rite of Acolyte. The service was real neat. We have a great Bishop. One more year till ordination.
All take care and may God bless
Jim
Evening. Been pouring rain. Good soaking. Hope it is raining like this west of us. That is were the lake is and it needs it bad. Bet the pond is flowing over the spillway again.
Sturg', explain to a Southern Baptist what the Rite of Acolyte is. ??? I'm sure its great.
Been to two parties so full of goodies.
Good night all.

Cookie-dough Ice Cream.... Charlie and I will be right over I'll bring some Devon clotted cream for the pie.
Snowblowers, I remember seeing these in the Sears catalog as a kid (when Sears used to ship abroad). Come to think of it that was a influential publication where I first saw Lionel Trains
Not seen domestic size snowblowers over here guess we get the "wrong type of snow".
Gamesroom passed the building inspection
Taking Charlie to "activity world" today. Will try and take some pics of the gamesroom for photo fun.
Chief-Legacy looks sweet.
Have a good Sunday
Nick
Morning all
Cold and windy in Southern Ohio
Chief-By receiving the Rite of Acolyte I am now charged with assisting the priest during the celebration of the Mass. From the outward appearance I will perform many of the duties performed normally by a Server, holding the Sacrementary (a book with special prayers in it), carrying the Cross and candles in procession, preparing the altar during services for the Eucharist, handling the incense and during the solemn singing of the Gospel; to prepare wine and water for the sacrifice of the Mass; and to assist the sacred ministers at the Mass, and other public services of the Church.
Doug-Have fun with the snow blower. Shovels are about all we need in Southern Ohio
Chief-Are you going to start a new pot at the begining of next year again? Hope so.
May God bless
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Wet, windy, and a chilly 43 (you can always tell a Richard Petty fan...) here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Looks like the heaviest of the storm fell between Harrisburg and Wilkes-Barre over night. Isn't that you Laz? Watched Scrooge (Albert Finny musical version) last night with the ladies. Nick, you Brits apparently didn't use snow-blowers back in 1860 either.
Anyone hear from Brent? Perhaps he's tiled in; or more likely tied up!!!
FIFE, We only got about a quarter inch of sleet here, not bad as I said before a BIG FIZZLE.
CHIEF, Got my chip for the BB from Lionel yesterday. Going to BARRYs on Tuesday to pick up Legacy. Did you use it yet? How long do you have to charge it up? Have fun I can't wait to use mine.
B safe.
Im the new guy here, and I'd like to wish everyone a heartfelt MARRY CHRISTMAS, and HAPPY NEW YEAR, how about another cup of coffee?
Paul
PAUL, enjoy your stay. Lots o good GIZ here.
Good morning Coffee Pot, Cold wet and windy here at the south outerbelt, any farther south and I would be out of Columbus.
Was reading about Lionel display layouts in a library book last night.
