I believe this is the style of rollingstock you have/had in Australia right?

Check those smoke detectors at least twice a year and have more than one type (battery operated and ones that run on AC current.) Do not put a smoke dectector in the bathroom or over the kitchen sink. Water vapor can set them off. Keep a fire extinguisher handy in the kitchen. The most likely place a fire will start in the kitchen while you are there is the range top. Also have several boxes of baking soda handy. Baking soda can be used to extinguish grease fires. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES PUT WATER ON A GREASE FIRE!
Extinguisher protocol for the kitchen. Have the fire extingusher where you can get to it in an emergency. Do not put it in a cabinet next to or over the stove. You won't be able to get to it. Put it in a cabinet on the other side of the kitchen so you can turn around and get it. The recommended type of extingusher is an ABC type. These are good for A: paper and wood fires, B: Flammable liquids, C: Electrical. The most common type of ABC extingusher is made by First Alert and weighs about three pounds. While this is adequate for a very small fire it is not enough for one that has spread beyond the cooktop. You are better off with a larger extinguisher, at least a 5 pounder. When extinguishing a fire stand back at least 6 feet and sweep the extingusher at the base of the fire, not into the flames themselves. Even though you think you have the fire out, don't take any chances. Have the fire dept come and check it out. I've seen all too often homes burn down because of a fire that smoldered for days, even weeks.
Do not keep flammable liquids near the oven/stove/range, this includes the cooking oil. Do not install a smoke detector near the oven, it will be set off the first time you scorch the bacon, and who hasn't done that at least once. If you use powdered coffee creamer, do not keep it near the stove and do not use it near the stove. If the powdered dust becomes airborne it can ignite and explode. The same goes for flour and corn meal. If you grind your own wheat or grain for homemade bread do not do it near a pilot light or other open flame.

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
Good Evening Gents, I hope everyone is well
Dick, Glad to hear that you'll be at the show I'll look for that hat remember I'll be the crazy lady with the 3 boys (four if you count my hubby Tom)
Inch, Dr says Tom's heart is OK but (seems there's always a but with Drs) there's a mole on Tom's back that the Dr wants to Biopsy. (seems there's always something)
Evening Gang:
U.S. Marine Corps. That's from an old Army CW-2.
To all those servining and those that haved served, Thank You and God Bless.
Just to let you all know everyones internet has turned all there dial up customers over to PeoplePC. I just got the switch over made and it seems to be much faster. The only problem I've had so far is page 1274 will not load. It keeps showing " this page is unavailable." So what did you guys get into that the server doesn't like? My E-mail will also change to thebeverungs@peoplepc.com. I'll still get mail sent to the old address.
Not much else going on here. There is a train show tomorrow and Sunday. My son and I are going tomorrow and I'll make a stop on my way home Sunday near the end of the show to see what last minute deals there may be.
Mary Ann got me a book on the history of the U.S.Army today for my birthday. Actually my birthday is Monday the 13th but she saw me looking at the book while we were at Barns & Nobel. I'll get any train stuff for myself tomorrow. That way I can be sure that it fits.
It's late so I'm going to say Good Night.
Hey Jeff, that kind of stuff happens. With me it was a brad nailer and a 1 1/4 inch brad in the knee. I never felt a thing and just sat there and staired at the head of the brad in my leg. When I moved the head pulled through my pant leg and was buried in my flesh. I ended up in the hospital and an operation to get the nail out. About 4 weeks later I was back on the job.
Lee, have a cup of what ever on me. I am also modeling a freelance road. In my case it's an iron hauling road in the upper penensula of Michigan. It's called the Duluth, Superior, & Southeastern. I work in HO so I can see what I'm doing. That nearly invisible scale that PC uses.
Sorry for the double post tonight but I finally managed to get page 1274 to load. Anyway I'll see you all tomorrow.

I think it was all the "Wacky Tabacky" I used to smoke. You know, they give it to glaucoma patients for a reason! I can see like a cat at night!

Good Morning,
My 2 cents on fire extinguishers….
B-1 extinguishers (PKP- small horn) once a month shake the extinguisher and turn it upside down, you should feel the powder slide to the other side of the unit. These PKP or dry powder extinguishers operate by delivering a powder onto the fire. If the powder sits too long it can compact in the bottom of the unit (more so if stored on a boat or vehicle). It can be very exciting to have only the CO2 come out of the bottle and onto a fire.
USCG Approved extinguishers: If you see the USCG APPROVED on the label the extinguisher will not rust. The important parts are proven not to rust, that’s a good thing. When inspecting the extinguisher carefully check the nozzle for foreign material. Insects like to build nests in the horns and discharge nozzles.
Remember you are allowed to have more than one in your home. They come in handy if you need to blaze a trail to escape your home.
Teach your spouse and kids how to use them. In my job you see so many times the father is incapacitated and the kids/spouse has no clue how to use the available life saving equipment.
