Hey Gang,

Good morning all,
Had a bad T-storm last night, high winds, hail, and strong winds. High today of 72F nice and cool for the next few days.
Rob, 18x20 is a nice size, maybe you could split the room and have HO up front and N in the back? "KATO GS-4 locos with the matching 10 car set" very cool!
TrainsRme1, Yea I have a honey-do list as well but I can't get to it until I clear out the basement storage room, but the storage room is full of MRR stuff for the layout. So I have to work on the layout to clear out the MRR stuff. It's a vicious cycle.
I may post some stuff on the Weekend Fun group this weekend. I installed the diesel fueling area last night and continued ballasting the yard and ice house tracks. One more night and I hope to have the grass and ballast done. Yea I got the bug to work on the layout again, mainly due to my operating session next week. I want to avoid the pointing and laughing, LOL.

afternoon all
I think ill have a large coke please need the caffine rush
how are you all ?
Terry my thoughts are with you thats terrible damage you had there hope it gets sorted soon
glad we dont have storms like that overhere lol
oh well I'll be at the counter if anybody needs me
in a SANTA FE mug, please & thanks.
That damage photo (spilled Pepsi) would be even more upsetting if it had been a Coke.
***Lee, my brother is rather depressed, which is common for folks to experience after heart attacks. BTW, how about some pics of your latest model RR'ing work?
***Dick, that is an excellent suggestion to take pics of wire, plumbing, etc as it goes up. Told my contractor yesterday that I had ordered 12AWG CL2 speaker wire and that I could do the wiring myself working right behind his electrician. I already know where & how to do it, so he said it wouldn't be a problem, which is good. Figured that bedroom (right above the train room) would also make a good movie watching room down the road.
Last night I put a bid on a Intermountain F7 Santa Fe bluebonnet loco, figuring others would outbid me before the end of the auction. You can probably guess what I discovered this morning....yup, I bought it. I barely have enough change in my "train account" to cover it...OOPS! So, are the F7's considered transition era, right?
Rob
Our condolances go out to CN Charlie's Family, You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Rob., wish your brother the best for us.
The rest of you guys, get back to work..................

Hello Diners!
I decided it's not too hectic to post pictures on WPF. I'm still runnuing GN trains that have running rights on the Heartland Division. If Sue shows up in the diner i'll get out some NP stuf again. i suppose I could get out some steam locos too. Latest engine is a GN 4-8-2. That's plenty big enough for my layout. I'll let "2-10-4 Fergie' or "Yellowstone tom" enojoy their locomotives.
Happy Model Railroading.
Rob,
Yes depression is common, but in the future watch him for signs of unexplainable: grumpiness, aggravation over simple things, loss of temper over trivial things, and just plain unpleasant to be around. I found with my older family members this all means time to go to the heart doctor immediately! You as a brother and his wife need to watch for these signs.
I will post pictures soon, I need to vac the yard to pick up the loose ballast I glued down last night and move a plethora of tools out of the way so it doesn't look like Home Depot.
Jerry you have been quiet lately other than the tooth everything ok?
Hi guys. I have a surprise announcement. It sure came as a surprise to me. We are moving to Orlando Florida and should be gone from here by the end of this coming week. If I do not come back on here before then, good bye. You guys are the best.
David Parks I am the terror that flaps in the night!
Afternoon fellers!
I'll have a bacon cheddar burger with the smokey scallion mayo please! Thanks Chloe!
Yeah, it's a bit cooler here too and supposed to be really nice on the weekend with temps and such!
What are your plans for the weekend?
Monique and I are going to the Louisburg Moose Lodge Saturday Night Dance to cut a rug....

***Lee, my oldest brother is a widower (lost wife to cancer many years ago) and lives on the other coast (CA). We only communicate via e-mail these days. Thank goodness for the Internet.
Here is a pic of the future train room, facing out back. Very little sun will make it in, as seen here:
And here is a pic from inside the train room facing front.
There will be a small undesignated room and very small full-bath in the corner, for those times when "the farm wins" and we need to clean up before entering the main house. Both those areas are separated from the train room by a door. Also going to cut a door between my current workshop and the new train room, making it easier to cut and bring in lumber for the layout. More pics later. Rob
Good evening, we had to get off the Pc early last night as a rip snorter TS came through. The rains keep coming every afternoon, I think we now have a tropical climate here, I even hear tropical birds at night chirping and I thought I heard a Howler monkey last night. A few minutes ago the wife called me to come quick to the wesy windows, a big buck was in full flight. I expected something to come by chasing it, but nothing was after him. A while later a Turkey strudded through the yard and a few bunnies, but these would not have spooked a big buck.
ROB: It look like your builder is really going to town. Good move on doing your own wiring wherever you can, you can save big $$ and get things were you want and plenty of them.
JERRY: You lost a tooth? Good lord, if you keep this up soon you will need to gum your food to death, it will take you an hour to eat a steak !! LOL I just went to my dentist yesterday and had the root canal tooth capped.
CAPE JIM: This weather pattern from the midwest to New England and on to the Maritime Provinces of Canada is being caused by what is called a Polar Vortex. It is a large Low Pressure system that rises up to 30,000 feet and sits stationary over northwest Canada . It pumps wave after wave of colder air down into the U.S. on the northern jet stream. It is common in Fall, Winter and Spring, but NOT in Summer, so this is very, very, unusual. What makes it bad is that in the Summer we have far more contrasting temperatures and Dew Points, and where they clash, we have very severe weather events. The warm moist air rises during the day under the hot Summer sun, and all the moisture from the Gulf, and the Atlantic here in the east coast, hits that pool of cold air in the upper atmosphere, and that breeds tremendous thunder heads ( alto cumulus clouds ) which turn very Nimbus in a hurry. This has been your weather 101 lesson for today brought to you by Coors beer.
FERGIE: Is that what I think it is in that spilled can?????? Tsk, tsk...for shame !!
JEFF: Is there no end to your talents ???
Later guys,
Rob, to answer your earlier question, an F7 would fit into the latter part of the transition era.

Evening, Chloe - I'll have a glass of wine, and a roast beef dinner with some veggies, please.
Thanks!
Between Garry, Terry and Fergie, this place is about like Comedy Central here in the Diner! ROTFL!

Well Jim, not really. That's John Bonham, Led Zeppelin's drummer, also my favorite.
Okay, that would've been my second guess... (although I wouldn't have known the group or the drummer's actual name)
Lee, your arrangement with the HD list and your MRR list sounds like one we all could pattern ourselves after. Does that actually work with your wife for long? (Just wondering...)
David, best wishes on a great move to the Sunshine state (that is its nickname, right?), and hope the new place has some spare room for your MRR'ing. Of course, you can continue stopping by the Diner once you get settled in there, and I'm sure Jeff will be available for any consulting needs on your layout, as well.
Ryan, I didn't even know you were sidelining in carpet trimming! When did you start doing that? And how'd you learn about the carpet job at the Moose Lodge?
Rob, the train room looks like a nice amount of space, and the door to your workshop sounds like a good idea. Will you not have a backdrop on the layout along the outside, or just have a low one there?
I went by Hobby Lobby tonight before dinner, and used my coupon to pick up some Woodland Scenics figures for about $7 with taxes:
They're the A1859 set - Train Mechanics (I already have the Engineers set). Tomorrow I go by again and see about some other figures. I might get the WS Painters set to go with my Preiser set of painters.
Dick, when did Coors start sponsoring the weather announcements? Around here in the summer, especially in July but sometimes in August, the afternoons can be when the heat rises and turns whatever moisture is in the air into some afternoon showerstorms. Then we get to watch the steam rise up off the wet streets.

Anyone else get their Walthers sale flyer in the mail for August yet? I haven't seen mine yet, and am wondering where it is, especially since I'd ordered from their website in the last month (and had been receiving the flyers for many months earlier when I was only ordering via our LHS owner/MRR club member). I don't really want to have to depend on the online flyer - not completely wild about it (posted a topic asking for others' take on how they like the online version).
I'll be working on my dinner at the corner booth if anyone else comes in. Is Duke still sleeping in the back? Thought I heard some snoring when I came in.
Blessings,
Jim in Cape Girardeau

Actually upon closer inspection I see it's "Miller Neer Beer". I think there might be a market for the MESS to ship "Real" Beer to our Southern Friends
Here's the new Babies
The Southern Ps-4 is missing it's headlight. I've been in contact with seller and he's looking for it (I hope) Regardless I do have spare parts ordered.
Yes the Weather is not very GOOD! these days. Though the garden does grow (As well as the grass)
JIM! I resemble that comment!!!
Rob: That is quite a building project! Good and strong, very sturdy. Lucky they will let you do your own electrical as it has to be done by an electrician and inspected by the power authority in these parts.
Have a good night all
Fergie
[In a word, no. Give me time to think about a problem and I'll almost always crack it. ]
***I want to win the Lottery so I can fly everyone down here for a big ol' BBQ dinner (and to help me build a layout). OK, so how do I solve that one, Jeffrey?
***Jim, your train mechanics look like they're ready to get right to work. Now, if they could actually work on your trains while you are sleeping, that would be even better.
***Fergie, those are real beauties.
To clarify, although I did do much of the wiring of my workshop/studio/guest house, a real electrician will wire the new build. (I know how, but it is in the contract, so there is no reason for me to). All I was refering to is wiring it for sound (speaker wire in walls) so the new master bedroom can also pass as a theater room. Will also drop an extra pair of wires down into the train room, for times I when I want to listen to music as I piddle away.

Evening Gang: Not a drop of rain here. I ran the pump all day and puled it out again tonight. I guess if I left it in the creek we'd get a real flood. I can't afford to donate the pump to the rain gods though. John and I cleared brush along the road so we can see what's coming and they can see us. The spead limit is 40mph but a highway engineer friend said that it is a good 30mph road. Of course all too many drivers do 10 to 15 mph higher.
Rob I'm happy to hear that you are going to see the doctor. Did you look at metal roofing? We put metal on our house after a very heavy hail storm did the shakes in. The insurance company gave us a discount for doing it in metal.
Lee thanks for the explination. I agree that ballasting 2 feet of track isn't bad. Try doing a 1/4 mile with real rock sometime.
JP I happy to see that you got home in one peice. Good luck on the house hunt.
Well I'm bushed.
Good Night All
***Paul, the new build will tie in to my existing studio and share a metal roof. They will have to remove a large portion of the existing studio roof to make this work, but since we used screws to secure it, this will be easily accomplished. Metal roofs are very common around here and I wouldn't have any other type. They work for us just fine.
Have been planning the front deck. Going to do it myself and save the $$$$. Although wife is impatient, I explained that for the amount I would save, we could put that towards more important things. I know what you folks are thinking.

Everyone....... Tonight's adventure. We went to Friday evening church meeting. The church had a visit from "The Fat Family". This is a really big family. We always start with pot luck dinner. Evidently. the head of "The Fat Family" feeds his family by taking them to church meetings in the area with pot luck dinners. They have quite a reputation.
Normally there's more than enough food and everybody has leftovers to take home. Not tonight.
"The Fat Family" brought no food to share, but they certainly did eat. Wow! The head of "The Fat Family" is huge (about 6' 4" and about 350 pounds). His wife is big, too. Their 6 kids are all rather plump. His wife's sisters are big. Their kids are plump too. One of them has husband, and he was the only non-fat person in the "The Fat Family" . He was wimpy looking. Those sisters had 6 kids between them, and two of the kids each had a couple of babies. Altogether in "The Fat Family" there are five adults and 12 kids including 2 that are old enough to have the 2 babies. They all live in the same house, and I don't know why Social Services allows that to happen. It was beyond amazing to watch "The Fat Family" eat. They had no trouble cutting in line ahead of the regulars and taking huge portions. There was no left over food at all.
It was some experience to say the least.
Would any of you care to have "The fat family" visiting your church?
Hey Eveybody!!!
Chloe, I will have a bowl of seafood gumbo please, and a glass of Oregon's best wine I heard you had some stashed away in the cellar. Anyway, I got part of my honey-do list done today, with time to spare to work on the layout, "that's time managment baby" How did your honey-list day go LSWRR? Today will be another Honey-do day,but you know what? I have to run an arrand and on my way is one of my favorite hobby shops so (oh dran) I have a BN GP40 on hold, so I just have to go and pick it up .

I'll be back tomorrow, Trainman gonna miss you, hope you can come back to the diner soon It's late her in the Rose city and I'm beat, so I better to some sleep before I fall asleep in my gumbo Good Night All
Welp, before I faceplant, Hello form the tired and sore. Three days in, and we've had to replace 5 windows in three cars because Afts decided to throw railroad spikes and take out the double paned safety glass as we went by. Other brigh souls include shoving the rtailroad tie upright between the rails. They were;nt smart enough to leave before the State troopers deboarded. Then thwere's the yahoo who broke the crossing gate off, and the bus driver who was up so close the gate arm was hitting the top. I have pics and a vid to ooffload, but that's all. No contunouis slacking from this boy.

Hey all.
Little late for dinner... Maybe a side of onion rings and a un-caffinated diet coke? Bored out of my mind... That's dad's house for you. Got an annoying brother shooting me with nerf guns every 5 seconds... Wish I could be at home with my puppy. \
I was going to post in the WPF with some pictures, but mom's camera wasn't at home at the time. Maybe next weekend. When I'm actually having fun.
Jim: You haven't heard of Led Zeppelin? Worlds greatest rock band? 1969-1980? Wow, try googling it or going to youtube to listen to some music. It's great stuff.
Ah, I turn 14 in... 13 days by the time this is posted. Should be interesting... Can't believe I'm going to highschool next year. And be able to get my permit... Time flies.
Ah. Onion rings are here. Midnight snacks are fun.
