[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bill mathewson</i> <br /><br />.... Selling off a lot of G scale and some of my HO - more a matter of upgrading my roster as well as eliminating the museum look with all the inappropriate rolling stock and engines from all over the US that were purchased because I liked the paint scheme. Had UP, Santa Fe, Rock Island, Pacific Electric, CB&Q, MoPac, PRR, NH, Espee, Wabash, Coos Bay, Seaboard Air Line, NYC, etc. just in engines!.... <br />BILL <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Good Morning All: <br /> <br />Bill: <br />I think I'm new since you left. I saw one or two of your post(s) when I first got in. I've been around the modelling scene since 1954 when my dad bought me a Mantua shifter, he thought I was going to wear out the threads in the boiler - taking it apart and putting it back together. My fourth layout is upstairs in an extra bedroom 13' X 15', it's an around the wall with a duckunder, commonally called a drop bridge when not running. From your quote - it's nice to see that I'm not the only one that buys an engine because I think it's pretty. <br /> <br />Where do you live in NW GA. I used to live in Albany many years ago. My dad was the maintainace super for the Albany and Northern and the GA. Northern branch branch railroads. That's not a typo, they were SMALL and SHORT railroads. Do you and Tom Watkins get together since you are in the same general area? <br /> <br /> <br />Ed: <br />Tea is what keeps the civilized world running[swg]. But I'll have you know that every morning I get up and make coffee for Stephanie (wife - boss). It makes the day a lot easier for me. No black eyes or anything else. <br /> <br />This second cup of tea really hits the spot. I usually do the first while I'm watching the birds getting breakfast. We've had a Humming Bird feeder up for three months and we finally had a visitor the other day. It seems like we've had a lot of sparrows here of late. <br /> <br />Well I've got to get ready and go to work <br /> <br />Have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
