Good morning all!
Coffee and Bagel please, Chloe. Thanks!
Just dropped in to say Hi before I head off on a four day. Also to get this thread back on the first page. This forum gets quite busy on the back side of the clock.
Have fun, be safe.

Nawww, it's all about you!
HEdward, Welcome! Tell us a bit about yourself!
For some strange reason I have the feeling that my secret is not safe. I felt this way just after reading Fergie's post. Hummm. You don't have to worry about enough power to pull all those cars. I've got the catalogue from Walthers/Life Like and have been scoping out that USRA heavy 2-10-2. I'll have to see if it is out by the first train shows this winter.
Luc: My best to you better half. I'm pulling for her.
I think that I'll head for bed now. You all have a good night and I'll see you all tomorrow.
Good Evening all!
Just a coffee tonight, Chloe, thanks!
James: Great pictures and video. Thanks
We are have a little MRR crisis here. My parents decided to get my oldest a Bachmann 4449 daylight for his birthday (that was in April). Unfortunately, Bachmann has yet to receive their shipment from China. My son had been very patient up till now but he is getting a little impatient with the wait. It's a great teaching moment for me, that is when I'm trying not to laugh at some of his comments. Oh to have the innocent view of the world of a child.
Good night all.
Interesting little thread you guys have here. Can't stay tho. Taking my beauty Queen wife and mega handsome baby boys out for a walk and some ice cream(no, the babies don't get any yet) so maybe later.

Hello.
Just a quick visit while Gloria is resting. She had a good day yesterday but a very restless night. We still have a long long fight ahead.
Most of my spare time is spent with her, so MR is not progressing as much as I'd like. I took some photos for all to see.
Looking up That st.
The other side of That st
Some activity at the end of This rd where the sugar refinery is located
Some activity in the yard
The polar bears have heard that Fergie is going up north to the Arctic
I know I missed a few birthdays Hope you all had a great day.
Also to all the new faces around. Do come in often and have fun with us.
Well, I must go.
Happy MRRing

Jerry: This order will make 220 of the Walthers cars and maybe 75 of the MDC cars. There are also a few old Varney cars so it might be 300 all told. By the way this is classified infomation and will not be passed on to my wife. For a freighter that hauls 12000 tons it takes about 185 loads to fll it. You have to figure that a bunch of cars will be at the mines or in empty transit and others in the yard waiting to be moved to the dock. Looking at all that, I'm still needing more cars. I'll make do with what I have untill I can get the layout operating or untill Walthers has another sale like that one. Of course I'll pick up MDC cars as I can find them. I'd also like to get some of the Westerfield cars to give the trains some variation.
I'm at work right now so no MRRing. After lunch I have to make a mold to cast some rubber nails. Our carpenters are abit clumsey and we don't want to give them anything that they can hurt themselves with.
I'm going to leave out now. Thanks Jerry for the lunch. Corny dogs and a diet coke went down easy and won't make me sleepy for this afternoon.
See you all later.

You know,....I think I'll pass on that one! Thanks anyways!
God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, "Lord, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the 'beginning'." "Oh, is that so? Tell me..." replies God. "Well", says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man." "Well, that's interesting. Show Me." So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil. "Oh no, no, no..." interrupts God, (I love this) "Get your own dirt."
Oh, and the roads too! Thats pretty cool! EDIT: I just saw your other post showing the pics of the roads. Nice job!
Another coffee Janie

REALLY!?! I wouldn't have guessed that. Did you skim the balsa with something to get rid of the woodgrain, or just sand it?
Oh, and have fun railfanning!

Noah, are you coming to La Crosse Sat for rail fair, SW Dave saids there will be about 200 vender tables there. Went last year got some great deals.
I didn't make it up to the LaCrosse show this year. I had a meeting of my model Railroad Club in Madison, and since the weather isn't great and I don't have a lot of money to spend I decided against it this year. Hopefully I'll make the spring or summer show next year though. I got some great deals a few years ago when I went, including a Proto 2000 E8/9 unit for only $45. There are some good deals to be had, and one of the years I have to get back up there.
Not much else going on with me today, just had a meeting of my model railroad club in Madison. We are preparing to display at a show in Monroe, Wisconsin in September, so we were finalizing the details before we set up the layout for a test run next month.
Well, better get going, I've got other things to do. I bought a few new cars at the hobby shop today, so I've got to put together a tip and test run them.
