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

Everybody take some time and check it out. Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 20, 2004 11:23 PM Just want to wish all the Dads in the cofffee shop a wonderful Happy Father's Day. I had a great day- started out with a big breakfast, followed by a nap, got up watched the U.S. Grand Prix from Indy, then another short nap, until dinner was done, and it was exceptional. Spent an hour on the phone w/ my 19 yr old son and had a good talk - the kind every Dad hopes they can finally have w/ their teenager. The wife presented me w/ a huge 1/8 scale 1932 Ford Revell model car kit (350+ parts, and it builds out to approx 30" in length). I'll need a dedicated shelf just for it. (As if I don't have enough distractions w/ model trains, model cars also compete for my time.) Am looking forward to spending a week w/ my daughter and her family in San Jose this Sept. It's been quite awhile since I've been back to the left coast. I just hate to fly anymore. When I was in the semiconductor business I was on a plane about every third day, and sometimes in two or three cities a day, skipping across the USA, for all of North America was my responsibility. It got so my love of airplanes evolved into a total dislike of flying, and that was way before the increased hastle and trepidation of flying in a post 911 world. One day I just 'called in sick' and never returned to work. I had had enough. Now I'm my own boss, although my wife would disagree. Sure do miss the financial ability to walk out of every hobby shop I visited with yet another toy ! Guess that's how I ended up with an engine roster for whatever railroad's paint sheme appealed to me at themoment of purchase. Most of those acquisitions are going to the next swap meet, so I can get serious about modeling a prototype. Finally. Has anyone ever attempted to design a model railroad around a particular engine paint treatment, or worse yet, several railroads that didn't interchange, or necessarily exist or operate in the locale you're modeling? Yeah, I've even tried to rewrite history, or create crazy leased pool power arrangements, or fabricated fictitious mergers, or lay new trackage sometimes thru mountain passes that don't exist in an atlas! Like trying to rationalize incorporating the Rock Island early "Route of the Rockets" paint schemes for freight and the Seaboard's 'citrus' colors for passenger E units. . . Or justify Baldwin Sharks and Heislers in north Georgia. Or worse, how to incorporate a port scene in the north Georgia mountains ! You know, I'm apparantly not used to all the sleep I've had on and off today, for I'm just aimlessly rambling, so I'm going to put some coffee on - it's only 12:30 am or so, and get back to sorting out the 'puter, and drive that targetword/information search thingamajig doohickie straight to hell. If I can, that is. . . Hope you folks had a great day !

Surrounded by cornfields and flatlands.Good fields of fire. About the engines, that was 28 in the front room. Altogether I think I have about 45. A long long time ago in a galaxy far away, I had a decent job and the ability to stop in any hobby shop within a 10-county area. Alot were also gifts. I had a girl that also had a good job. She traveled alot and would bring back an engine about 4 times a year.Those were the days. The last layout used exactly 5. 4 Atlas Alcos and a P2K SW 900. I guess I'm not alone in saying that engines call to me, and I have all types and roadnames, no rhyme or reason to it. Just like 'em. Now as for the benchwork, the trainshop still looks like I took the last parts down with a handgrenade, It will take, going at the Speed of Phil (just a tad bit slower than the Speed of Light), about a month or two to get everything sorted, broke down and salvaged. Then, if all goes to plan, I'll be busy planning my 50th birthday camping and 4-wheeling trip, for Sept. Then, when Oct sets in with it's cooler weather, I will start building. The plan is a dedicated factory switching layout based on the Muncie & Western in the mid-seventies. We'll see how many changes THAT goes thru before actual building commences. Also, I hope to build the benchwork at a friends well equipped workshop and truck them to my place. He's up for it, but he's the one building a house and they will need a break from construction. So at best guess, Oct will be the target month. Noah- BUTTER DAY? Well, our local deal is called Glass Days. I guess small towns take their glory where they find it.

[;)] Edit egmurphy Member sinceJanuary 2003 From: Mexico 2,629 posts Posted by egmurphy on Sunday, June 20, 2004 8:13 PM Okay folks, Here I am crying in my beer (actually a last Cuba Libre) because the U.S. Open is over and Phil Mickelson came in second. Played very well, but a double bogey on 17 cost him the lead. It was a very interesting tournament. Incredibly tough course. Today, there were no rounds under par. Only two players finished the tournament under par. But enough of that... Welcome John (jfire). Like you I used to hang out at Atlas. I liked it a lot because of the volume of posts and the wealth on info available. While I had, and still have, several other mrr forum sites bookmarked, I gravitated here after Atlas shut down, and would expect to maintain my presence (such as it is) here even after Atlas is back up and running. Being retired I have enough spare time for two forums. [:D] Noah - well I came pretty close with the cheese guess. Not bad for a complete shot in the dark. How's the repair work on your mrr coming? John (?) (jpowell) congrats on the diesel cab ride!! [wow] I suspect that this type of experience will get to be even more rare than it is now as concerns about liability and security continue to restrict things. Treasure the moment. Another day with zip progress on the little diorama. I've extropolated my time to build my 3'x7' layout (hollow core wood door) based on progress on the diorama, factoring in some extra time since the diorama has no wiring, and conservatively calculate that I will die before I get trains running. [swg] It's 'paralysis by analysis'. All I have to do is put down some dirt and ground foam. I've read so many articles, have so many options, and have so many recommendations that I can't make up my mind. Tomorrow, come hell or high water, we're going to glue something down. I mean, it's not like I have to live with it the rest of my life. I'm probably subconsciously stalling until the trip up north. Aaahhh, the confusion of old age. When you do a countdown do you count the day you leave??? Today is Sunday. We leave next Sunday. Is my magic number 7 or is it more like 6 and a wake-up ??? [(-D][:D]. See you guys tomorrow.

QUOTE: Fired off a round and ol' Tom headed for the field - Hope that indicates you live out in the country Phil!! I did a double take yesterday when you mentioned you had 28 locos and only 3-4 had ever been run. I thought to myself, 'That's a lot of motive power.' Then I started thinking, and reviewed the list of locos that I have. Comes to about 15 (not including some real old ones that I don't think run but which I refuse to throw away), and I don't even have an operating layout. And I'm looking at the sale ads for more!!! Really want an Atlantic and a 10 Wheeler if they ever come out in N scale. Actually Bachmann was supposed to release a 10 Wheeler late this year but they revised production schedule to release the 2-6-6-2 instead. Supposedly the 10 Wheeler is scheduled for 2005. And Model Power is showing pix on their site of a 4-4-0 and a 2-6-0 that they say are due for late 2004 release. I know Atlas just came out with a 2-6-0 but it's too early for my layout, and even the Roundhouse 2-6-0 that is just hitting the shops is a bit early also (even though I'm considering getting it). Phil, if you've completed demo and are going to start benchwork, how come you decided not to participate in that 6 week layout project thread? When I read your response I thought you'd be still involved in demo. I liked the idea, but being on vacation through the missle of the project just didn't make it practical. Well guys, almost tournament time. See you later.

I have started with DCC recently and I did not have got to the point that I had to program speed tables. I guess it is a "long time of typing in numbers with NO room for errors or youl'll have to start over again" routine. Phil, dutch police cars are mostly supplied by Volkswagen, but I see a lot Ford too lately, in my part of the country they are changing from Volkswagen to Ford. Highway Police also uses very fast VOLVO estates, and traffic police motorcycles are most BMW. As we have a lot of sand dunes and beaches where I live they also have some Honda off road motorcycles and 4wd vehicles. unfortunatly the donut culture has not picked up in the Netherlands, we have to live with all kinds of other pastries or "broodjes" = breadrolls. and there pops up one of our favorite topics again: FOOD !, and as ever it made me hungry, so gonna have "broodjes" and coffee now!

Must run John <John jfire15 ! hope you like the friendly and sometimes off topic-ish atmosphere in the coffee shop. maybe a stupid question, but I see you joined december 2002, yet you are making your first post today?> Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 20, 2004 1:22 PM 6 DAYS TILL GALESBURG RR DAYS!!! Dave Lotz (A member of the Burlington Route HS), is going to meet me at the train show there, somehow we're going to try to find the measurements for the Burlington, IA coaling dock. But he's also bringing his inventory of Q Connection kits, I'll probably buy an interlocking tower and a caboose.

We have a festival called butter fest each year because a number (like twenty)of years ago we called our selves the butter capital of the world, and we celebrate that every year with a parade and carnival and demo derby, tractor pulls, ect. I think it was more an excuse for a party. One word, "bored" Train should come tonight though. And Jim, keep you eyes open, as I might send you a couple of pics later, if I get time. If not today tomarrow. Noah Click the image above to visit my website, Badger Rails.

QUOTE: Fired off a round and ol' Tom headed for the field - Hope that indicates you live out in the country Phil!! I did a double take yesterday when you mentioned you had 28 locos and only 3-4 had ever been run. I thought to myself, 'That's a lot of motive power.' Then I started thinking, and reviewed the list of locos that I have. Comes to about 15 (not including some real old ones that I don't think run but which I refuse to throw away), and I don't even have an operating layout. And I'm looking at the sale ads for more!!! Really want an Atlantic and a 10 Wheeler if they ever come out in N scale. Actually Bachmann was supposed to release a 10 Wheeler late this year but they revised production schedule to release the 2-6-6-2 instead. Supposedly the 10 Wheeler is scheduled for 2005. And Model Power is showing pix on their site of a 4-4-0 and a 2-6-0 that they say are due for late 2004 release. I know Atlas just came out with a 2-6-0 but it's too early for my layout, and even the Roundhouse 2-6-0 that is just hitting the shops is a bit early also (even though I'm considering getting it). Phil, if you've completed demo and are going to start benchwork, how come you decided not to participate in that 6 week layout project thread? When I read your response I thought you'd be still involved in demo. I liked the idea, but being on vacation through the missle of the project just didn't make it practical. Well guys, almost tournament time. See you later.

Happy Fater's Day to all the dad's out there! I had my 1st ride in a Diesel yesterday afternoon courtesy of the crew of Finger Lakes Railway GP9 # 1701! What a exciting time it was for me! If any of the crewmen read this, I want to extend my thanks to you all again for a enjoyable experience! //signed// John Powell President / CEO CNY Transportation Corp (fictional) http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s303/nuts4sports34/ 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 philnrunt Member sinceMay 2004 From: central Indiana 775 posts Posted by philnrunt on Sunday, June 20, 2004 11:19 AM Broodjes eh? A bunch of Crown Vics and Impalas at the donut shop or a bunch of VW's and Volvos at the Broodjes Shop. Some language's are universal. Went to bed at 0130, got up at 0400, watched a bit o' video, just tried to lay down for a nap and a catfight out my front door brought me up rather quickly.Screamed at them almost dozed off again when there was a bigger fight. Fired off a round and ol' Tom headed for the field.He'll be back but for now- peace and quiet. fec153 Member sinceJuly 2003 2,124 posts Posted by fec153 on Sunday, June 20, 2004 8:30 AM Happy Fathers Day to all.

Phil lupo Member sinceNovember 2003 From: the Netherlands 1,883 posts Posted by lupo on Sunday, June 20, 2004 2:06 AM good night all! [#welcome] John jfire15 ! hope you like the friendly and sometimes off topic-ish atmosphere in the coffee shop. maybe a stupid question, but I see you joined december 2002, yet you are making your first post today? I have started with DCC recently and I did not have got to the point that I had to program speed tables. I guess it is a "long time of typing in numbers with NO room for errors or youl'll have to start over again" routine. Phil, dutch police cars are mostly supplied by Volkswagen, but I see a lot Ford too lately, in my part of the country they are changing from Volkswagen to Ford. Highway Police also uses very fast VOLVO estates, and traffic police motorcycles are most BMW. As we have a lot of sand dunes and beaches where I live they also have some Honda off road motorcycles and 4wd vehicles. unfortunatly the donut culture has not picked up in the Netherlands, we have to live with all kinds of other pastries or "broodjes" = breadrolls. and there pops up one of our favorite topics again: FOOD !, and as ever it made me hungry, so gonna have "broodjes" and coffee now!
