That is the best news I've heard in the last two days, aside from everyone in FL comming out OK. How are you guys doing in Nova Scotia? FERGIE: I've lost your phone number, It's on the same sheet of paper that has your schedule. I don't know what your shift is. Down here we go 7 on and 7 off, 14 on and 14 off, or 28 on and 28 off. I don't want to get to NS and find out that you just left yesterday or will be back in two days. Do you know how to get in touch with Fundynorthern? I'd like to see his layout also. As of today (subject to change) I'll see you on day 7 and John on day 8. Brakie will be on day 2. Tom will be later as I don't know yet when I'll be comming through GA. YNCS will be several days after John but I haven't work up that part of the trip yet. I still have to get it approved by the boss (Stephanie). When I get it all together (hopefuly I won't forget where I put it) I'll get in touch with everybody and see if it will fit their schedule. To YNCS and John: My layout is just benchwork and track (not all of that is wired). Scenery may be started before I leave but it's not a big priority. From the post a couple of days ago between you guys I'm not expecting a layout like the musuem in Chicago, just almost. JUST PICKING. I've been around long enough - I still use coke cans as tanks; kit boxes as buildings and envelopes propped up with jars as facades for my industries. I was hoping to have my layout on the San Jact club tour this Oct and Nov but alas I didn't get enough done. The second lap of my main line is still under construction. We are trying to get several layouts over here so the Houston guys don't feel that the 100+ mile drive is a waste of time.

I always manage to find time for Big Girl. My layout is suffering, but part of that is due to it being summer. I don't have a job, but I'm not really looking for one either. (Long story). Sleep, I get my fair share, but my schedule is kind of strange. I usually eat in front of my computer, and railfanning is more or less once a week. I'm not that young, or at least I don't feel that young most of the time. By the way, it's not 2 forums it's really 3+. I'm very active on Classic Toy Trains, and subscribe to that magazine in addition to MR and Trains. I used to subscribe to Garden Railways, but gave up the idea of having one when I moved to my larger basement, I mean house. Alright, alright, once in a while we do talk about food, but we aren't obsessed with it like they are over on Trains. The barbeque conversation is preserved here in the early pages of this topic. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to visit the refrigerator.[swg] I may need to get another one for the train room, the ex wife took my old one.[:(][:(!][:P][;)] I'm back!

The people here seem to have a much better understanding of the intent behind this topic. It should have nothing to do with food, and everything to do with good conversation. I'm both a modeler and a railfan too, but not everyone is. There are not very many of us who post to both forums. Maybe 100 that do so on a regular basis. Many of the members over there don't bother to come here. Frankly I'm a little disgusted with some of the foamy nonsense that goes on over there, and one person in particular. I think you'll enjoy hanging out with this crowd and you should fit right in. As always the goal is to have fun.[8D] Big_Boy_4005: How do you find time to do two forums? That gives you in addition to the forums 1) Big_Girl_; 2) layout; 3) work; 4) sleep; 5) eating and 6) railfanning. You're a better man then I am.

Of course model railroaders are healthier than railfans, unless they are Garden RRs.

That is the best news I've heard in the last two days, aside from everyone in FL comming out OK. How are you guys doing in Nova Scotia? FERGIE: I've lost your phone number, It's on the same sheet of paper that has your schedule. I don't know what your shift is. Down here we go 7 on and 7 off, 14 on and 14 off, or 28 on and 28 off. I don't want to get to NS and find out that you just left yesterday or will be back in two days. Do you know how to get in touch with Fundynorthern? I'd like to see his layout also. As of today (subject to change) I'll see you on day 7 and John on day 8. Brakie will be on day 2. Tom will be later as I don't know yet when I'll be comming through GA. YNCS will be several days after John but I haven't work up that part of the trip yet. I still have to get it approved by the boss (Stephanie). When I get it all together (hopefuly I won't forget where I put it) I'll get in touch with everybody and see if it will fit their schedule. To YNCS and John: My layout is just benchwork and track (not all of that is wired). Scenery may be started before I leave but it's not a big priority. From the post a couple of days ago between you guys I'm not expecting a layout like the musuem in Chicago, just almost. JUST PICKING. I've been around long enough - I still use coke cans as tanks; kit boxes as buildings and envelopes propped up with jars as facades for my industries. I was hoping to have my layout on the San Jact club tour this Oct and Nov but alas I didn't get enough done. The second lap of my main line is still under construction. We are trying to get several layouts over here so the Houston guys don't feel that the 100+ mile drive is a waste of time.

I always manage to find time for Big Girl. My layout is suffering, but part of that is due to it being summer. I don't have a job, but I'm not really looking for one either. (Long story). Sleep, I get my fair share, but my schedule is kind of strange. I usually eat in front of my computer, and railfanning is more or less once a week. I'm not that young, or at least I don't feel that young most of the time. By the way, it's not 2 forums it's really 3+. I'm very active on Classic Toy Trains, and subscribe to that magazine in addition to MR and Trains. I used to subscribe to Garden Railways, but gave up the idea of having one when I moved to my larger basement, I mean house. Alright, alright, once in a while we do talk about food, but we aren't obsessed with it like they are over on Trains. The barbeque conversation is preserved here in the early pages of this topic. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to visit the refrigerator.[swg] I may need to get another one for the train room, the ex wife took my old one.[:(][:(!][:P][;)] I'm back!

I hope to soon post pics of my Santa Fe layout (under construction, but lower level completed) At the risk of raising Big_Boy's ire, may I mention food? Of course model railroaders are healthier than railfans, unless they are Garden RRs. The reason is that most model railroaders aren't a food source for mosquitos while they are at work on their layouts! I've a video of the Alaska RR, and in parts you can hardly see the trains for the mosquitos in front of the camera![:0][:(] "There are always alternatives, Captain" - Spock.

I don't want to start a flame war either. There is already a test of wills going on, between myself and the other person, unbeknownst to almost everyone here.
