Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

I don't have the time, (well I do, but I'm to lazy to use it) right now, but I'll get around to it eventualy. I've been working constantly on my Scratchbuilding model, which I'm still wondering if I'm going to finnish. I better get done so I can go work on it. I sent Bergie a letter about deleting those nonsense posts, we'll se what he says. Forgot to add, the Engineer, who I know well, threw a copy of the switch list that they used last night to me last night. One of the cars had to be spotted where it wasn't sposed to go because it had a air hose problem. I would bet they made the changes to the list, and faxed it when they stopped for supper in town to headquarters, and they gave me the old one, or at least I would bet that's what happened. Another thing to add to the file for things to model down the road. I'm trying to figure out how to read it. SOme things are obvious, but others will take some thinking. I've already gone over it 30 times, so here comes another 30. Noah Click the image above to visit my website, Badger Rails.

Well said. Looks like we are headed for rain again. It makes it soooo much better for the skeeters. Anything to make their life easier.Them and IRS agents.And lawyers. And leeches. Bill- This hobby is just another form of dementia, I have taken whole states off of the map to get desired geographical features. Ended up putting them back, not fair to the people that lived in them.When I go on vaca, I usually try to buy a loco or car representing the area I visit. This is where Athearn blue box is so appreciated. Good looks, and not too much $. I have FEC GP's, SP SDs, UP U-boats, Kaiser Alum units, and many more, just collecting dust here and there. And every time I think" No more", I see something I want. I've talked myself out of the River St. Rambler two times on trips to Savannah, but I think I hear it's jazz music way back in my head. There is just no end to it. Makes for an interesting front room, but not much practical use for modeling. There is a place in Ft Wayne In that will train (ha ha) you and then let you drive a 44 tonner. I think they are the same folk that own 765, but I'm not sure. Had a guy that did it give me a paper for it, I'll nose around and see if I can find it. Just finished the iced joe(warm enough again, thank heavens) and need to get activated. Take care guys.

Did someone say rain? Of course they did went camping with the cubs this weekend and man o man the forecasted showers were actually a torential downpour. But this is what memories are made of. The kids watching Akela digging a trench before the flood waters breech the tent entrances, made it just in time. Oh well enough of this said wanted to do train spotting of the Windsor and Hantsport but with the kids and wife and no showers for two days all for not. Hopefully Next time. I'm off to sea in two days and managed to make it to the LHS today and bought a Cornerstone kit The Mid state Marble Company, looks promising.

I was biting my tongue waiting for someone with more tact to step in and provide some guidance. I'm constantly surprised at the amount of rain all you guys (except Mr Harmon) are having. It's really been exceptionally dry (rain, not humidity) here this month, which is odd for June. Maybe it was the wet May. Maybe it's global warming. Maybe it'll rain next week. No big deal, 'cause the magic number is down to 5 and a wake up. Going to visit the daughter first. We'll be there in Houston for the 4th. Really looking forward to seeing some good fireworks display. Also looking forward to stopping in at the LHS! [:D] Have a good cruise, Ferg. [4:-)] Jeez, Phil, if you're going to freelance, what's another state here or there. You do whatever you need to justify the motive power you want to run.

NOOOOOO!!!!![banghead]The voices usually tell me sensible things! You have a great time and be careful, take lots of pix and enjoy being here for awhile. We did get rain again tonight, picked up a bit, but not as bad as it has been. Fergie- You also be careful, do you have access at all to the internet when on sea duty? How long before your dulcet tones bless our little group again? Noah- I'm sure you told us, but what model are you building for the contest? Unless it's secret, in that case I apologize in advance. dharmon-Retaining walls and fence seem to be themes this month, Bill and others are all working on them. I don't need retaining walls, but I'm thinking of starting to fill sandbags, just in case.Keep that Motrin handy. Take care, all. dharmon Member sinceAugust 2003 From: Bottom Left Corner, USA 3,420 posts Posted by dharmon on Monday, June 21, 2004 11:57 PM Well the great wall of harmon is more to keep our little chunk of California heaven from crumbling into the street and the neighbor's from becoming part of our patio. Affordable housing in SoCal means "charming fixer-upper", so you could say the last year and a half has been charming. The fence was required, as I'm not sure the existing one would survive another Santa Anna season without heading down the hill. Termites, sun and original poor workmanship have finally done it in. I had to tie it to stakes in a couple of place for the time being while more pressing objectives were met, like updating an early 70's electrical system and fixing 30 years of band aid patches to things....it had been a rent house for a long time. If it rained here more than it does, I'm sure I'd have a host of additional issues. Now I guess I'd say I'm moving to the home improvement phase and leaving the home reclamation phase. But on the bright side I did venture out to the garage tonight and piddle around adding weight to some dummy locos to improve tracking and the local club is just down the street. This weekend though, between soccer coach meetings will be ...sod.

Proverbs 22:6 Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:59 AM Hi Everyone. [:)] Thank you all for the kind words. [:)] I really didn't want to say anything but felt as if I needed to. [:(] We are missing a young fellow who posted some "odd" topics a while back. Others have "fallen off the face of the earth" too, earth meaning the forums. [;)] I wouldn't want a new comer to also become AWOL. [;)] There are actually several others who appear to be chasing stars here lately. [V] Believe it or not, after so many stars you just don't even pay attention anymore. I remember when I first started and saw people with 2 or 3 stars. I thought it would take a long time to get there. I also didn't start posting at first either. But that is neither here nor there. I saw some trains today, but they were all too far away to get any numbers. [:(] Everyone take care. [:)] I don't have any hard feelings against anyone here in the forums. I sincerely hope that no one else does either. Let's all let bygones be long gone. [;)] Edit philnrunt Member sinceMay 2004 From: central Indiana 775 posts Posted by philnrunt on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 1:23 AM Jim- one of the first questions I asked was about the stars, and as soon as I knew what they were, they faded away as a topic.And with so much going on in peoples lives and the world, if you get really upset over this forum, you need to re-priortize. Getting crazy over model trains is just not worth it. And having people with differing opinions and ideas is just what I like most about this place. Hopefully everyone puts it in perspective. Some of us know how to say one thing, and others know how to get a different thought across. I agree with Ed, I'm glad you did it so tactfully. dharmon- California sounds like paradise, until you watch the news or speak with a resident, then you realize that it is part of this earth, and like everyplace, has it's natural ...features. The one thing you DO have alot of is people, and alot of people and nature sometimes don't see eye to eye. It still amazes me when we think we can change natures mind. krump- At a Rand McNally store I saw a map of N America from a Canadians viewpoint, and it shocked me. I never even thought about what this continent looks like from up there. Made me think . Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes. Looks like another slow night here, so I think I'll dig deep into the forum and see if I can bring an old and forgotten topic up for some fresh air. BUT before I go, I looked at the Bachman website (Bachman curves post) and saw something called "electronic auto reversing track". Does anyone know anything about this track? If it means that I can slap down a reversing loop without extra wiring , let me know! Then I might start considering doing the Cartier' Mining Railroad. Another choice to think about, just what we all need!

I suspect we will be in for the first 24 to 36 hrs before we head out. Hopefully this months trip will be at a slower pace as last month was shear madness! I'll have a few kits and the turntable with me to work on. I saw a Blair Line kit yesterday, what are they like? And Mr Harmon I read about your wall , been there and done it and though you wouldn't think it by the pictures the little retaining wall I replaced in the back yard required the moving of 12 to 14 tons of materials. If I get up to Sydney this trip I'll take the camera and get some pictures of Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia repair shops. last time I was there last month the batteries went dead in the camera.

Sure, get rid of a state here, move one there, soon you're putting Wales next to Iowa and the trans Siberian RR into Boise! Someone has to step up and STOP THE MADNESS!!!![:D][;)][:D] Hmmmmm, ya know, having some of those 18" slate haulers running around Des Moines might just be the thing.No! NOOOOOO!!!!![banghead]The voices usually tell me sensible things! You have a great time and be careful, take lots of pix and enjoy being here for awhile. We did get rain again tonight, picked up a bit, but not as bad as it has been. Fergie- You also be careful, do you have access at all to the internet when on sea duty? How long before your dulcet tones bless our little group again? Noah- I'm sure you told us, but what model are you building for the contest? Unless it's secret, in that case I apologize in advance. dharmon-Retaining walls and fence seem to be themes this month, Bill and others are all working on them. I don't need retaining walls, but I'm thinking of starting to fill sandbags, just in case.Keep that Motrin handy. Take care, all. dharmon Member sinceAugust 2003 From: Bottom Left Corner, USA 3,420 posts Posted by dharmon on Monday, June 21, 2004 11:57 PM Well the great wall of harmon is more to keep our little chunk of California heaven from crumbling into the street and the neighbor's from becoming part of our patio. Affordable housing in SoCal means "charming fixer-upper", so you could say the last year and a half has been charming. The fence was required, as I'm not sure the existing one would survive another Santa Anna season without heading down the hill. Termites, sun and original poor workmanship have finally done it in. I had to tie it to stakes in a couple of place for the time being while more pressing objectives were met, like updating an early 70's electrical system and fixing 30 years of band aid patches to things....it had been a rent house for a long time. If it rained here more than it does, I'm sure I'd have a host of additional issues. Now I guess I'd say I'm moving to the home improvement phase and leaving the home reclamation phase. But on the bright side I did venture out to the garage tonight and piddle around adding weight to some dummy locos to improve tracking and the local club is just down the street. This weekend though, between soccer coach meetings will be ...sod. WEEE HAAA! krump Member sinceAugust 2003 From: Beautiful BC 897 posts Posted by krump on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:10 AM " It's been quite awhile since I've been back to the left coast." Hey Bill, ... depends on your perspective,... from my angle that's the right coast [^], but then again, I know that you've always LOOKED "UP" TO ME[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][oX)][:o)] cheers, krump "TRAIN up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" ... Proverbs 22:6 Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:59 AM Hi Everyone. [:)] Thank you all for the kind words. [:)] I really didn't want to say anything but felt as if I needed to. [:(] We are missing a young fellow who posted some "odd" topics a while back. Others have "fallen off the face of the earth" too, earth meaning the forums. [;)] I wouldn't want a new comer to also become AWOL. [;)] There are actually several others who appear to be chasing stars here lately. [V] Believe it or not, after so many stars you just don't even pay attention anymore. I remember when I first started and saw people with 2 or 3 stars. I thought it would take a long time to get there. I also didn't start posting at first either. But that is neither here nor there. I saw some trains today, but they were all too far away to get any numbers. [:(] Everyone take care. [:)] I don't have any hard feelings against anyone here in the forums. I sincerely hope that no one else does either. Let's all let bygones be long gone. [;)] Edit philnrunt Member sinceMay 2004 From: central Indiana 775 posts Posted by philnrunt on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 1:23 AM Jim- one of the first questions I asked was about the stars, and as soon as I knew what they were, they faded away as a topic.And with so much going on in peoples lives and the world, if you get really upset over this forum, you need to re-priortize. Getting crazy over model trains is just not worth it. And having people with differing opinions and ideas is just what I like most about this place. Hopefully everyone puts it in perspective. Some of us know how to say one thing, and others know how to get a different thought across. I agree with Ed, I'm glad you did it so tactfully. dharmon- California sounds like paradise, until you watch the news or speak with a resident, then you realize that it is part of this earth, and like everyplace, has it's natural ...features. The one thing you DO have alot of is people, and alot of people and nature sometimes don't see eye to eye. It still amazes me when we think we can change natures mind. krump- At a Rand McNally store I saw a map of N America from a Canadians viewpoint, and it shocked me. I never even thought about what this continent looks like from up there. Made me think . Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes. Looks like another slow night here, so I think I'll dig deep into the forum and see if I can bring an old and forgotten topic up for some fresh air. BUT before I go, I looked at the Bachman website (Bachman curves post) and saw something called "electronic auto reversing track". Does anyone know anything about this track? If it means that I can slap down a reversing loop without extra wiring , let me know! Then I might start considering doing the Cartier' Mining Railroad. Another choice to think about, just what we all need!

How long before your dulcet tones bless our little group again? It will be 28 days unless we get into homeport to pick up supplies or program gear. I suspect we will be in for the first 24 to 36 hrs before we head out. Hopefully this months trip will be at a slower pace as last month was shear madness! I'll have a few kits and the turntable with me to work on. I saw a Blair Line kit yesterday, what are they like? And Mr Harmon I read about your wall , been there and done it and though you wouldn't think it by the pictures the little retaining wall I replaced in the back yard required the moving of 12 to 14 tons of materials. If I get up to Sydney this trip I'll take the camera and get some pictures of Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia repair shops. last time I was there last month the batteries went dead in the camera. There was a Burlington Northern Unit there[:0] http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=5959 If one could roll back the hands of time...
