blownout cylinder jeffrey-wimberly Heartland Division CB&QWow.......Did you see that? Barry ordered a 32 oz. steak. Amazing. Barry: would you like Jeff to grill it for you. He could used this really neat BBQ grill ........and ....he could lace it with some "DaBomb" sauce for you too. That Da Bomb sauce is pretty hot. I mix a couple of drops in with a bottle of Tabasco sauce and it makes a great fire sauce. Just being in the same room with it can get your eyes stinging. I've tried that stuff a few times--works REALLY NICELY with Tobasco, although we did ours straight. There was a hot sauce from something called House of Pain that was called Biochemical Warfare--THAT was pretty hot---

The place that I got "Da Bomb" for Jeff at has some much hotter stuff, but I wasn't out to cause anyone bodily damage. They do sell "Pure Cap" there, which is 15-16 million scoville units of heat. It's the hottest stuff known to man (that can be ingested). To give you some idea of it's heat, the hottest Tabascco sauce is around 4,500 scoville units, a Habanero pepper is around 200,000-300,000 units (depending on where it's grown), the Naga Jolokia (hottest of the peppers) comes in at 1,041,427 scoville units, and "Da Bomb" is around 1.5 million scoville units. "Pure Cap", being 15-16 million scoville units is considerably more "attention captivating"! You actually do have to sign a legal waver to get it for human consumption that states that the seller is not liable for any damages caused by the product. As to the "House of Pain" sauce, it's pretty warm! I had it some time back, and it's an attention getter!
So Jeff, you still have some of "Da Bomb" left? That little bottle has lasted you a good long time!
folks: We have more snow, wet and yuckky all night...only good thing is Kris' meeting has been cancelled (again) and we don't have to go anywhere. (Oh, another good thing is it helps the flavour of that Canadian Maple Syrup, enjoy it Eric, there's nothing as good )
Weighing in on the "best" loco debate, I'm torn between the LNER Mallard, and the Battle of Brittain Class of the Southern Railway. I think I'll go with the BoB. as I remember it from the late 40s / early 50s. Its London terminus, Victoria, was the one from which the dreaded school train took us to Otford, Kent. That's the same line the Golden Arrow ran to Dover. Nice to see it's still running...but not for much longer on that particular track, from the sound of this article. I've only seen the Mallard in the York Railway Museum.
Jeff mentioned . Don't forget, folks, the heads up we were given a couple of weeks ago about what Jeff himself might pull in that regard! (Does the bill board give you any hints? )
LiL Rob great to see you back again. Now you've found us. don't be a stranger!
CapeJim: Only cars and tender of the birdhouse train could have moved. Everything is actually hot-glued to the track! The loco couldn't have turned a wheel, its drivers are roofing nail heads! Thanks for the comments people, glad you liked it, it was a fun project, but I don't think I'll be doing another any time soon....it took for ever!
On the guitar thing, I've a friend who is an accomplished guitar builder. He's raising the ecconomy of a village in Uganda by teaching them to build there. I'd be very happy to pass on details to any who are interested in his product. They stand comparrison to any you are familiar with.
Big welcome to all the new diner clients...stay for dinner, whatever time of day you have that. We countrified "city slickers" have dinner at about 5:30 p.m., when our Brit relatives are having Tea; and would have had Supper at about 10:30- 11:00 p.m. before we loosened up and started having a snackie! Lunch is mid-day here, when our neighbours are having dinner!
Taxes beckon...at least Kris' mom's are out of the way. TTFN.

Good morning. It's 64 and cloudy. The high today should be around 70 and there's a chance of thunder storms. I got a little layout work done yesterday. nothing spectacular, just moving some trees around. Maybe I'll be able to do more today. I still have a few structures to place. I likely will not be on tomorrow as I'll be watching to see what this 'Conflicker' virus that's got the techs running in little circles will do. Personally I think it's a bunch of April Fool's hogwash. Look at the big scare that was thrown up about that worm a couple of years ago. What happened? It turned out to be a big fat goose egg!

Good Morning--Well, we had a bit of frost last night--and the sun is out. Current temperature is--( ducking to avoid another air mailed pie ) -3C with the ever popular windchill of -10C. We are expecting lots of sun today with increasing cloudiness late in the day with rain overnight into tomorrow morning--
Have a busy day ahead with client visits and a new client for me this afternoon. 'Spring' is all piculous with running around--leaping from one cupboard to the other--sometimes through the air across kitchen Makes for an interesting morning around here--
Chloe--I'll have a giant 3 egg sunny side up breakfast please with a coffee and a muffin as well --I'll be at the window booth --OY--do we need to airmail another pie?

Morning all!
Chloe, I think I'll have a short stack of pancakes. Haven't had them for a while. For some reason all we have in locally is Canadian, or Vermont maple syrup. Where's the New York Syrup? There must be enough to 'export'!
Howdie LilRob, I'm new here too. Welcome. Folks of all kinds and age stop in here. Sorry to here about your rough goings. I recently had my own.
Day 2 of vacation... did little the first day.
I'll throw my 1.5 cents in... Supper and Dinner have the same definition as the main and, or, last meal of the day, however, Dinner is also defined as being a meal held for a special person or occasion. So....I guess I'll plan for my Supper tonight while I look forward to going out for Dinner with my special friend Susannah. (no, we're not married, just friends)
On topic......Hhmm. I built a new 6ft. test track yesterday. Then I realized I used up my hookup wire. I have a couple new DCC engines I want to run.
Eric
Of course ROB!!! With you chow hounds in the Diner what chance does a guy 70 years olf have when all these young studs come piling into the Diner for Supper.
GARRY: So true, I almost was resigned to having tube steak for Supper, that Barry is quite a chow hound isn't he? He can outdo FERGIE. BTW, WHERE IS THAT LAD ????? Lisa must have buried his head in the HD jar!!
DUKE: Us country folk always have called it Supper, it is only those "upper crust folks city dudes" that call it "Dinner".
See you guys for Breakfast, or is there a new name for that now?
Campfire Cocoa in an old tin cup, please & thanks.
***Lee, will keep my eye out for it. I take it your return address on the package, yes? Only needed a smattering of strait sections...are you trying to give my wife reason to take over the rest of the train room? Thanks!
***Yellowstones are cool workhorses. (think that'll work, Garry?)
***Sawyer, I'll second your vote on the Pacific as the best (at least nicest looking) locomotive ever built.
***Lee, hope you get those Bull Moose. They are neat looking locos for sure. I don't think they've been produced in N scale yet.
***LilRob, sure sounds like you've had a rough go latley. Healing thoughts for your mother. Very sorry about Oreo, too. I completely understand that sense of loss.
***Dick, I do love Berks, but for true beauty, I cast my vote for the Light Pacific. Oh, you were just kissing up to Duke so you could come in and eat in peace, I get it.
***Robby, continued excellent weathering work there.
***Ray, I think you nailed it. And what steam loco could not find a loving home, be it full scale or small model. Enjoyed the video of that cute little 0-4-0.
Good night all. Rob ps:
--LilRob!! Drop by more often!!
OK we got some photos from Duke, let's try some more. Sssshhhhhhh!
What's a Yellowstone? Is it as nice as a Berkshire?
LilRob- I'm pleased to meet you. My names Todd. I'm sorry to hear of your losses and grief's. .Sounds like you are doing as well as expected though. Like Chris said, I sometimes think of our Missy's time and it saddens me even though she's only three in May. The little buggers grow on ya. Hope you'll stop in often. Theses folks care and take your mind off the real world for a while. Grab a piece of pie on me.
Garry- I wouldn't doubt that Jeff's got something called the "Da Bomb" sauce after tasting one of his Tacos.
Robby- Keep at it. You do fantastic work. Hobby bucks are less than last year but there are still folks with free cash. Your name has got to get out there.
Nik.n- Hahahahaha!!!! Gotcha! Girls, I'll have a HUUUUUGE Banana Split.Great photos by the way and thanks!
Night all. Prayers for those in need.

Good evening (in a vampires voice).
Well I have been weathering and weathering. Trying to make some extra money. I have some shots of my latest boxcar, and tanker.
I am alittle behind in here. I've been spending my time in the basement.
Hope everybody is doing good. I will be back in the morning.

AND a tanker.........Still a ways to go!!!
Heartland Division CB&QThe Southern 4-6-2 is nice looking; no doubt. Southern, however, never had any "super power" locos. You could never find a 4 wheel trailing truck on a Southern steam loco. I'm not sure why. They could have used plenty of power on the run from Cincinnati to Atlanta.
Actually I have never seen a Steam Loco that I didn't think was beautiful. Whether it be a huge monster like the "Big Boy" or a little girl like this sweetheart we are restoring at the R&GV Museum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ZamN2O2Kg&fmt=18

Afternoon all!
Just finished checking up on our 12 day old foster kittens and their mom. They're really cute, their eyes aren't even open yet.
Haven't been able to play the ax since saturday, because it's at my dads. Tommorow or wednesday I will be able to play, and also all next weekend... Hehehehe...
Speaking of the ax...
Jim: Yeah, I already got one from finger picking a song... It popped open yesterday, but I get the same thing from drumming. It should be fine tommorow. Also, from my standpoint, I'd get that guitar re-fretted and get the pickups. I'm a big music guy, so sacrificing a little train money for some music stuff is fine with me.
Barry: Sounds like fun, just jamming. That spontaneously happened once during Honors Jazz Band, wound up with my director, our bassist, and me playing Rock and Roll by led zeppelin... Good times. I haven't been in a real band, but I bet I will next year.
Todd: Telecasters sound nice. I'm not a Fender guy because the only Fender I've ever seen was probably the cheapest model my friend has... Didn't leave much of an impression. But I do know Jimmy Page used a telecaster on a lot of the early Zep songs, and I know that sounds good. Oh, and I would like to sound like Page. That'd be nice, but of course, I do play things other than LZ.
Sue: Not recently. I don't know if you knew, but I got a 2003 edition Rivarossi FEF-3 #844 in November.
Ray: Thanks! Finally a person that calls guitars "axes" besides me...

Or a Pennsy heavy mountain with long distance tender- Number 6755 is static at the PA RR Museum in Strasburg, PA!
Oh My!
I loosely model the Chessie system incarnates past and present, but dream the Pennsy's share {my} tracks!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

like the pix-OK. Now I know what the berks looked like--neat!!
Garry
I thought we could get Duke riled up
Dick
can I go eat supper now ?
Talk to you later

Hiya LilRob, don't believe we've met, I'm one of the newer guys hanging out here. Sounds like you've had more than your share of loss and difficulty...much like several others around here. Know that our best wishes and condolences are with ya.
I'm particularly hit by the loss of your pal Oreo. I guess the thought of losing my little fuzzy buddy, Rerun just gets to me.
Welcome back, and again, nothing but the very best wishes to you (and all others suffering) in your losses.

Good evening! Raw, heavy overcast and some showers most of the day, however the sky is clearing and we will have sunshine for the next two days before more storms arrive.
Worked on the mountain scenery today, I am using the newspaper pillows and plaster cloth method with some foam thrown in for added effect.
Ok guys, lets get one thing straight right now, the Berkshire 2-8-4 ushered in the era of super power steam locomotives, and NOTHING ( steam ) beats the Berkshire for all around beauty. Paint your locomotive green or pink like Fergie, and doesn't matter, the Berkshire is KING OF THE HILL. Ok Duke, can I go eat supper now ?
Hello gang...It's been awhile since I've been here. I see the diner rolled a little farther down the line.
Haven't been much happening with me in the trains/railroads area. But, quite a bit in the personal matters. I've had a few friends and family pass away. My mom has had half here other (right) foot removed. She's spent 2 weeks in the hospital and a month in a rehab facility. She should be getting out tomorrow.
Also, my best buddy died Jan. 23, 2009, yes, my doggie, Oreo, has gone on home. RIP!!! Oreo.
So, how have everyone been? I'll try to peek in more often.
Til later,
Good Evening--The sun is out and the PITA snow is gone--YAY!!!
Duke--like the pix--OK. Now I know what the berks looked like--neat!! The only berks that will show up on my layout would be the one's Dr Mike picks up for the tourist line---
Chloe--I'll have a 32oz T-bone steak--,med rare, with a baked potato and grilled asparagus, please.Oh, and a coffeeeeeeeeeSSSSSSSSHHHHHPPPLLAAAAAAAAATTTTT--as well as spatula please--Now just where are these pies being air mailed from?
I found that picture when I googled it, but that ain't a full sized one. oh well.

Hi Gang: Just a quick hello and I have to get out and feed the cattle. I'll put a bale of the good hay in the corral and if the cows have eaten the stuff from John's place I'll put out a couple of bales for them.
Take care all.
Well, well........ I thought we could get Duke riled up. It paid off, too. Those are neat pix of the PM Berk!

Hmmm. Hey, speaking of steam.... Where in the world is Fergie? Anybody hear from him? Perhaps, it is time to break the ice with Fergie. .... I think I can; I think I can ....Anybody have any good 2-10-2 jokes?
Also, speaking of steam, Tom W. is a steam fan. I've not seen Tom W in the diner lately. Say something nice about Yellowstones. See if that perks him up.
Jeff, I really like the BBQ grill story.
