George,
Just got back from Portland by Amtrack yesterday. We yielded to UP and BN freight trains both down and back. Our train hit the track layer with a work crew and initiated an emergency brake. It was quite exciting.
Larry had done some painting on the back drop while I was gone. We have more clouds now. He will work on ridge lines and trees next.
Back to work. Sue
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Glad someone is working on trains! Sounds like the trip was little TO MUCH fun!
This beast has taken my time up in spades:
1994 S500 Embassy car. Bullet proof glass and doors. Bomb plates in the floor. This thing weighs almost 8,500 #.
All the toys including a car phone with encryption and a fax connection in the back seat. Needs some cosmetics but not bad at all. The fuel line at the tank is leaking so we have to drop all the metal protecting it. WHAT A MESS!!!
With weight like that, you probably get gallons/mile instead of miles/gallon.
Don't forget to kick the tires on the locos from time to time?
Sue
George and Krysti,
Have a Merry Christmas. I have not heard from you in while. You must be having fun with your automobiles.
Later,
Thank you and Merry Christmas to your family.
We are trying to get an XJS finished. Pain in the %&&$.
The trains are running perfect, got the new chips for the both BLI Hudsons. I do get to work on them a little.

Happy new year. It think this is my favorite of the pictures that you have sent.
Did you have family for the holidays? Or have any operating sessions? Larry's friend came up on one of the days that I had to work, but I got in on tale end of the session.
Happy New year to you also. Are you OK out there? Those storms had me worried about you West Coast folks.
Hoilidays where fine we had the 2 kids (25 and 28) and that was all. Very nice and quit. We ran a session lasyt night and I got to break in some new power.
