Good Morning All: Kolja94: [#welcome] Not all of us dring coffee uggggggggggggggg. The more refined drink HOT TEA, like John and I. My hobby is at a good place, I've got so much to do that I can do just about whatever I feel in the mood for. I was going to paint the turntable but I've misplaced the paint so I started a Campbell thru truss bridge yesterday afternoon. I stayed up until 11:30 working on that bridge. This morning I'm pealing Ambroid glue off the fingers. I haven't been up that late in ages. I've had this kit for the best parts of 30 years, to give you an idea I paid $7.25 for this kit. I had an Atlas bridge on the layout just to see if it looked good and if I wanted to have a bridge there, it looked so good I went looking for this kit (Jim: I found a lot of goodies I didn't know I had), it took me three days to find it. Working is wood is a very pleasing experience. Fergie: Doesn't the wave lose energy as it travels through the ocean? It would seem to me that the longer it traveled the less effect it would have. Now I'm looking at it from a mechanical view point. We (Stephanie and I) had no idea how strong water could be until we took up white water canoeing. If the only time you "see" hostile water is in the faucet in the tub and you can control it with the flick of a wrist, you have no idea about how much force a broadside canoe has when it's full of raging water. Flip: The car is in the package, I'll try and get to the post office today. Phil: You forgot about the Browns. At least they had to leave the name and the history in Cleveland. I think that that's the way it should be. When the Houston Oilers were talking with Nashville, their was an exclusive "talks" contract, and when Bud Adams asked to be able to talk to another city to stir up compatition, Nashville said "Go ahead we want to talk to ?????? (hell if I remember). Half-himers is kicking in again. It amazes me what cities will do to lure a sports team. I think Green Bay has the right idea. This is football, it's ment to be played OUTSIDE, woosies have to play inside. Mo Jim: Isn't it nice to rummage thru old boxes? You find all kinds of interesting things that you forgot about - I just did that and then you mention about doing the same thing. Having a small layout is what got me into an older time period. With my 4X8 I had to use short cars and small locos so they wouldn't dominate the area. I've got every car that Central Valley (old wooden cars) ever made, they all have truss rods. I used a United 2-8-0 because it was a small loco and fit in with the cars. For me a 40' car was a loooong car. To this day I still like two bay 35' hoppers and 36' reefers and boxes. They do make for a nice looking train. Paul: I talked to an <s>aquentence </s> friend of yours yesterday. Tom Stamey had some stuff on eBay last week, and the price that he was asking was a little high so I called him when the auction was over to see about breaking the lot up and in the conversation live steam came up so I ask him about you - lo and behold he knows you. SMALL WORLD Is he one of the guys that you're going to bring down sometime? Well since I'm on my second cup of TEA, I'm going to go work on the bridge. I haven't cut myself yet. It seems strange not to have blood on a project, maybe with age come wisdom. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
