Paul,
Can't wait to see the NP flat car.
PS. I guess that I buy. Hot cider for all.
Evening Gang:
Terry I'll keep my fingers crossed that the day will come soon when you can enjoy a good steak. I hope that the show goes well and that you can enjoy the visitors. It's nice that your friend will be there to handle the questions.
Rob I'm sorry to hear that your horse got hung up in the gate. It was a good thing that the painters were there and handled the situation. You'd better get them some donuts and coffee in the morning.
I got the flat cars all lettered and installed the trucks so I can run them tomorrow. I'll have to give all the trucks a good going over later. One pair of trucks will need new bearings. When I built them I had run out of ball bearings so had to use oil lite bushings in one trucks and let the other runm in the aluminum of the side frames. Actually the tender trucks on my steam locomotive have aluminum bearings and they have showed no signs of wear in the last 8 years. Of course these trucks have been running for about 25 years and haven't had the lub that the tender trucks have. It's no problem to bore out the side frames for ball bearings that I now have. I'll do that and get them back in service.
Well I'm going to hit the sack.
Good Night All
Cederstrand ***Galaxy, a tooth extraction after a hospital saty? Gee, sounds like you are having way to much fun there. OUCH! Hope you are not suffering much. You have my sympathies. Rob

Thank you.
Next time I will be sure to share the fun and invite you to share my room!
The Dentist was hoping to do a root canal, insert post, and reatach crown, but not enough tooth left for post. SO extraction was the only option.
Literally I left the floor I was checked on to, and went down stairs to the in-hospital dental clinic for the extraction. They wanted to keep me on the floor another day or two but I said I would be a miserable s-o-b patient after the extraction, and felt well enough to go home and be in misery at my own home (around my trains). Only I don't really feel like playing with them now.
now...where's the chicken soup?

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Tall glass of cool lemon water, please & thanks.
***Terry, aren't there MOW/track-cleaning-cars for that? I would rather have a whole train of MOW cars than to clean a few feet of track. Guess that is something I have to look forward to, huh?
***Hoople, enjoy the Puyallup train show.
Wife is dragging me to a friends wedding tomorrow. Actually made me buy a suit for it. My old suits all burned up, so had no choice. At least there is suppose to be some good food there.
Electrician will be here with the contractor to finish up the remainder of lights (including the track lights in the train room) & the fuse box. The build is really starting to look like something now.
Storms are heading in tonight, so padded old Sandy's stall and locked her up. Afraid she might lose her footing on the slope when it is raining and gets slick.
Have a good night all. Rob
HI guys
A nice T-Bone Steak, baked potato with extra sour cream AND butter, and some steamed asparagus PLEASE please.
Have been in the hospital for a week and half. To best describe the food, Can you say sucked? s-u-c-k-e-d. I knew you could!
Then today I had to have a tooth pulled. Only thing now is I can't chew the asked-for T-bone or asparagus. MAybe only the potato. Mashed.
Have to now hunt and poke over the forum to see what may have missed.
Y'all have a fime night now
Hey all.
Train filled weekend... Uncle is finally going to take me to the LHS (after saying he would for three months), and the Puyallup train show is also this weekend. I'll probably head out on sunday... Hoping for a blueline mikado.
Other than that, nothing much new... Got to get a funny pic now... Entitled...

Yes. It sure has been dead this afternoon. I will buy a round of RBF's. Maybe Jim will show up for that.
Evening. Today it has been rain, rain, rain, and did I mention the RAIN!!! Sheesh, I'm surprised the place ain't flooded by now. I hate rainy days, if i want to go on the computer, I have to be downstairs, and on rainy days, my siblings get forced inside, and one is a girl who's 8 and a boy who's 7, and BOY, do they make noise!

Jerry, I’m still working on rolling stock. I’ve finished 72 revenue cars, 9 Caboose, 5 MOW cars, not counting the cars I lettered for the LS&W. Last night I worked on installing backdrops behind the roundhouse. On the rolling stock I’m a glutton for punishment, I just ordered 7 more cars. I feel like a slinky stuck on an escalator !
I have 50” of brick streets, sidewalks, and alleyways sitting under the work bench to upgrade the downtown section, but I really want to finish the rolling stock project before I get started in that.
Terry, I have a few MANTUA cars some are easy to convert to knuckle couplers and some are almost impossible, good luck with yours.
Rob, I hope your horse makes a full recovery.

Rob, Sorry to hear about your horse. It is hard to see older animals having accidents. I hope that she doesn't have any permanent tramma.
in a UNION PACIFIC mug, please & thank you.
Hope everyone is doing well these days.
Painters are almost finished with the addition. Next comes the floors. Will try to snap some pics to share soon.
Our oldest horse got caught up in a cattle gate a few days ago while we were out and the painters came to her aid by removing the gate to free her leg. We thought it was broke and nearly put her down, but giving her the benefit of the doubt, she has come around and is putting weight on that leg. For now, she remains with us and we are thankful for that.
Have a great day all. Rob
Good morning, Chloe. I will have one of those giant cinnamon rolls with my coffee. I am going to sit in this back booth for a while to see who wanders in.
I have not had much time here for a couple of days, so if I missed a post, keep after me.
Terry, I hope that you have a fun OPEN HOUSE tomorrow. Speaking of track cleaning, we should have a serious one. Hope that everything runs smoothly tomorrow.
Morning all

Can't stay long got to get busy cleaning track
Tomorrow is my Open House for the layout tour

Good morning
Good Morning All,
52F with fog and drizzle this morning. At least it's warmer than yesterday. I'll have a regular and an english muffin please Zoe.
Paul - a belated Happy Birthday - must have been asleep in the back booth again. Any cake left ?
PC - yes we have some arcane jargon, but no worse than the trunnions, muff joints and gaiters we deal with here.
Back to the house for more demolition this weekend. We still have some bits of wall and the flooring on the basement slab to deal with but I haven't felt up to it these last few days. Hope you all have a good one. CUL, J.R.

Ya know, outsiders must think we're all NUTS! We go around talking about brass worms, dead frogs, and all sorts of other goofy stuff!
LSWrrJeff it’s nice to see those SDP’s went to a good home. What did you do with the original motor? It only had maybe 5 hours of running time on it.
Good morning,
Well it’s sad to see the E. M. Ford sold to the scrap yard, she was one of the last steam powered freighters up here on the Great Lakes. She was joined at the hip with the rail services. Launched in 1896 ish.

Today is day one of my every 5 year military physical. Hopefully they have their ducks in a row, last time they switched labels on my lab work and I had a female call me in the middle of the night to let me know I was pregnant, diabetic, and that my cholesterol was so high they wanted me to go to the emergency room right away.
Ok I have to brush my hair and comb my teeth, maybe after I get violated at sick call today I’ll log back in and see how everyone is doing.
Good Morning from Tipton IN !

of having a steak !
Tom CONGRATS ON THE NEW KITTY !!!PHOTOS PLEASE !!!!
Evening, Chloe - I’ll have a cup of coffee and a hot fudge brownie, please.
Thanks.And a to you, Paul! Did Mary Ann bake you a cake?Probably missed a lot over the past couple of days, since I see there’s about five pages of posts.Today, I was supposed to be in (mandatory) training (motivational interviewing) all day, and I had mentioned it to my supervisor yesterday (and she’d said she was going to cover walk-in and crisis today for me, by herself). So we’re going along and then someone’s at the door of our training room, wanting me. Apparently supervisor was slammed with walk-ins and crises, and they did go ask our clinical director before they pulled me out. But I missed half the morning stuff. Was reasonably fortunate in that I was able to get the person an admission to the local hospital’s unit by about mid-day. By then, they’d broken for lunch downstairs, so I caught a quick lunch and caught the afternoon stuff. So I guess it was good that my supervisor now knows about how my days can often be...Tom, I bet Spooky could smell Remington’s scent on you, and ‘got wind’ of his impending roomie... Won’t be long until the two of them will be chasing around the house (and maybe learning how to steal Yellowstones?)OzJim, congrats on the new house, and I hope it’s just right for everybody (and has a bit of trainroom space).Luc, I like your photo of the steamer. Packer, good that you have your SW15s pulling their own weight. Robby, nice job on the Conrail hopper there!
Heartland Division CB&QWinner can choose between a root beer float or a hot fudge sundae as the prize. (Jim CG will have a lot of entries in the contest, I bet.)
I'll be in the corner booth for a bit. Hope everyone gets a good night's sleep (including me, since I'm on-call tonight)...
