The strip mall by the split of Streetsboro Rd. and Cleve E Liverpool Rd. was there, and had been there a while, back in the mid '70's.  This is the one I'm talking about:

Used to be an old dept. store back in the 70's.  The rest of town looks a lot bigger though!  Even Hudson looks a lot bigger!

What is this? Remembrance day?

We made it back from the LHS. Picked this up.

Bachmann GP35 with DCC onboard along with a few other items.

 

I'll have the steak and onions today.

That'll hit the spot. And rub it out!

[Train Master]

[ModelTrainLover]

hey guys!

[pcarrell]

Man, it's great having all these new guys around, isn't it?  (Not that our senior members aren't great as well.)

[grayfox1119]

Good evening to all, I see that we had Steak smothered with saute'd onions and peppers, I sense some Cajon seasoning so either Jeff or Ryan had there hands in the kitchen tonight.

I just received an email from FLIP, he said to wish everyone well in the CS, and welcome to new members. He has worked 110 hours in the last two weeks and has been out straight.

JEFF: Very nice locomotive....I'll be getting a GP38, model Atlas 9001, to use as the drive unit for the FP9 that I am trying to kitbash. It seems that EMD used the same power unit for their GP38 (early units) on the FP9's.

My kit isn't the nicest, but I like it a lot.

what you guys think of this?

it should be easy to take down..?

I like the looks of BNSF but I grew up seeing mose BN's yeah sure missed the green engines.

[jeffrey-wimberly]

HO train traveling on a track at doorway top height? If it should derail and fall, can you say microscopic bits?

 

[grayfox1119]

Last call for coffee, the pot is nearly empty, Fergie, Luc and Der John used to make the coffee in the morning being from the Atlantic time zone, but I think some Aliens made off with these guys, as there have been some "strange" sightings off the coastal harbors of Nova Scotia.
I think either Indiana Jones,or Louisianna Jeff will make the 1st pot in the morning.

BNSFlarson: Welcome to the CS, have a brew on my tab!!! As for layout, that far off the floor I would just make sure to have a plexiglass edgeboard in case of a derailment......as Jeff said earlier, nothing but bits and pieces when it falls from 6 feet or more.

man, that sounds good.. I should be out hunting some ducks soon.

[Anonymous]

yeah guys.. I was thinking of a  plexiglass edgeboard too.. the train wont go as that fast, it will be moving at slow speed..

I have seen some stores and a eating place that had a G or O trains over head they were moving at very slow speed...

I have not start yet but am looking for something to do.

I not sure what kind of lay out I want to build yet.

 

hey Grayfox... I been to Nova Scotia!! for our honeymoon last May 2000... it has been a raining off and on week there and went to EPI? is that right, we used the boat to cross there from NS.. and back.

The emigration plans are coming along fine, with luck and a following wind we'll be in New Zealand this time next year. I have got three job offers so far and two district health boards are fighting over my wife as she's a skilled ER nurse

Steve, Australia is a better country Just kidding!  I will be visiting New Zealand in March 2008, Maybe a meet and greet? Do you like cricket? Me and my friend will be going to a couple of games there in 2008... Would be awesome to meet a trains.com guy!

Maybe you could visit Australia and visit me

anyways.. how is all?!

I've got two guys interested in all my MR gear, so there could be a bidding war!

Model Train show this sunday... one hour train trip to get there but it will be worth it, pics will be posted when I get back...

We also got a  Labrador Puppy, Called Roy, but my little sister refuses to call him that...


Cute?

All for now

Good morning and thank you all for your sympathy and prayers please pray for my sister in law, Mary, she's handling this very badly, I think partly because she's battling her own cancer (*** cancer) and I think she's afraid for herself as well as grieving her mother. My husband is coping well with the death. He has an appointment Nov. 15 to find out about his test results. I don't think it could be to serious or they would have insisted on him coming in earlier ( I hope anyway). I should be back talking trains as soon as things calm down but until then I'll still be checking in.

Mornin all, just some coffee Zoe,
Suppose to be a nice day here, some sun, high in the low 50's, rain coming in tonight for 3 or 4 days.    
 Turns out that last month was the coldest Sep. on record and Oct. is working on the same record, along with the wettest. We've been running 10 degrees below average all month. So what happened
to globle warming.
JBird n me work outside most of yesterday cleaning up leaves, didn't make a dent. Maybe I'll caught by spring.

Steve,  didn't know you n yours were considering a move. Hope it works out well for you if you do. Didn't ya just finish an addition on the house.

Jeff ,,, I've got a Conrail like that only it Tyco I think. Has a broken coupler, I haven't got fixed yet.

Dick ,,, thanks for the update on Flip, I was wondering bout him.

BNSFlarson,,,,wlecome to the CS, hope you enjoy your visit here. I've seen layouts like your talkibng bout, same of them were real nice. With the plexy glass around it should be safe from most harm.

Lisa p,,, we'll keep your SIL in our thoughts here.

Not much planned for the day, me an my lil helper will be back outside in the yard today, me working, her playing of course. Hope ya'll has a gooden
inch

Well not on my dime. Anyway I'll be checking in here from work for awhile. Since I'm off thurs and fri I won't be back untill sat.

That's what I want to know!  Of course, the up side is that with all this rain I haven't had to water the sod in front of the house yet!  God's taken care of that for me!

BTW, cute pup James!

So,....how's everyone today?

Looks like Ryan has breakfast under control.  Just don't forget to hook me up too, OK?

Lisa, you sure have had the screws put to you lately!  I continue to pray for you and yours.  All I can say is that God must have something really special planned for you guys to have you go through so much to get it.  Just know you can stop in here anytime and just talk or hangout,....or whatever, OK?

Well, time to look like I work somewhere.  Later!

[jeffrey-wimberly]
