GOOD MORNING ALL
Wet and 32, snow but not sticking.
Jumijo-at least you got the coal hopper and not the lump of coal. Although with a long cold winter ahead a lump of coal might be a nice gift.

No lump of coal in my stocking! But I do think it is going to be a loooong cold winter here. Georgia is looking better and better each day! I wonder if Grayson would let me use his Legacy system...

Morning guys - hmmm, I need some coffee! Stayed up too late watching the 2nd episode of Tin Man and then an old horror movie after kids went to bed. Letting them stay up on their school break, but it's making me stay up even later. Wife came out and made me go to bed when I was trying to have a little harmless fun flying my little helicopter. I thought it was very quiet, but she said she could hear it and it woke her up
Sir James - Chewy must have had too much to eat because she is still sleeping!
Watching Johnny Quest cartoons now, the good old ones from when I was a kid. It's fun when the kids like the stuff I liked as a kid. They have edited out a few things though :( Everything is PC today.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good afternoon all,
It is cloudy and cold in SE Indiana with temps in the 30s. I have to take two of the vehicles in for oil changes today, and then go to the funeral home for the dad of some family friends. I ran the Polar Express with the new car last night and went to the YMCA for some weights and track work. There was wheat muffins and cereal on the dining car for breakfast this morning. Have not heard from "Points East" for a few days. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

CSXetc: Great News! With Thanksgiving and Christmas! You're doin' it!
Sir James: The Buro motor is quite loud, but it's making ticking noises like the gears are skipping, and the whole reverse thing has me baffled. So I'll let Lionel figure it out, and get one that works.
Brent: I knew you couldn't stay away!
Jumijo: Do you have a manufacturer and color for the pink??? I was thinking of repainting my latest 2025 in pink for my eldest.
Kurt
Kurt,
I used Krylon Satin spray paint. 3526 Simply Pink. Best of luck defiling that 2025!
SSshhhhhh.. It will still carry the 2025 moniker. It'll just be uh pink.
Thanks everybody for the encouragement on the diet it realy helps.
Chef glad you enjoyed yourself in the great state of Ohio.
Chief Cold wet and cloudy here as well.

I can hardly wait to see the Photo's of your Trains too. Are you going to get the new Standard Gauge Trolley & Trailer that Lionel will be coming out with? I think that will be a very good seller for them. We'll see. Take Care & Merry Christmas to you & your family.

Keith,
Considering the cost of originals it looks as if I ever want to own a Lionel trolley it'll have to be a reproduction. I was impressed to find out they are manufactured with an original type reversing switch rather than upgraded with an electronic E unit or such. Might not be the greatest thing for operators but at least it looks authentic. As with most of what I purchase I'll probably wait until I can see them in the flesh before I decide to purchase. Still, they'd be a fantastic addition to the SG Christmas layout.
Come to think of it, I lied. I bought a really nice #60 trolley last fall. Short of a nasty little warp in the roof ( caused by the interior light ) it's in perfect condition. After cleaning out the 50 year old grease and grime it runs like a champ. Might have to buy some Super Streets track to dedicate to this sweet little bump 'n' go puppy

Just finished washing the car in the garage while the kids watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time. They loved it and the car looks great. Not for long though. It's snowing here. Again. Slush and road salt await.
A pink 2025...Oi veh!
Good Evening....
Been busy. Had a great Christmas.

Room is spinning...everything going dark...must not pass out from the horror...
GOOD EVENING
Your going to need a pink CW-80 for that set. Pink track, pink lockon(for tubular),pink wire,and if freight,pink cobbose on a pink carpet.
Now I have no idea what I was going to say. I just left that "O" forum and those guys are rippin apart the new Atlas F units. Oh boy those guys need a hobby.They should be outlawed from owning three rail trains. I guess trashing everything new before it even hits the stores IS their hobby. Later all,,,,,,Sir James
Yeah, maybe pink ballasted fastrack?
Hey, we made homemade pizza (me and kids) and it's not too bad, come on over - we've got bacon, pepperoni or cheese!

Stouffer's french bread pizza. Just tried some for the first time a few weeks ago and liked it. Bacon on pizza sounds great. I had a pineapple pizza once that was surprisingly good. I usually get pepperoni and extra cheese. I always ask the guy to cut the pizza into 4 pieces instead of 8. When he asks why, I tell him I could never eat 8 pieces...
Pink is not an approved color for post war 2025s OR 2400 series cars (talk about bad karma). Some 2037s? Yes. But that's it, Kurt!

Looks like I will be riding with Buckeye in his Duesenberg.
Evening all!
Not a bad day here. PArtly cloudy and warming a bit into high 50's. Will continue to warm up a bit until Sun, and then another cold front.
Met up with the family at the mall and we did some gift exchanges and then had a bite at TGIFriday's. I like their new "just right" portions. Lower price and a reasonable size portion.
Did some cleanup of the layout last night, but I still have several days to go to get it done. Over 4 years of dust accumulated since the last time I vacuumed it. I have some ballast to rebond before doing any serious vacumming.
Good to see all are doing reasonably well and that Buckeye is keeping the Chief relatively speechless!
Have a great evening all!
Regards, Roy
Our layout needs a good cleaning and vacuuming too. I haven't done that in a long time and there is dust everywhere. I'm not one to do a lot of dusting. I'm more of a polisher.

Chuck, I am not going to take the Duesenberg to Roseyville. I don't dare get it wet.

So many roads, so little time.
