A Large Coffee TO GO, please & thanks.
Have a great day all.

Hey Cox 47 - that´s exactly what I do - my compressor is broken and I cannot afford toi buy a new one, so I use aerosol paint with a lot of success. Takes a little getting used to, but there is a lot that can be done with spray cans. Would not want to weather a loco though...
(squeeeek. Opens door slowly and sticks in head) Ahem, Hi friends. Buddies. Pals. How's everything today with you great bunch of folks? Say, you didn't think I was serious about this whole control of the Midwest and taking back the Louisiana Purchase joke did you? Of course you can keep Louisiana and all the land you got with the deal. I was just joking. That's me always joking (nervous laugh). What? Oh yeah, I did my test launch today. Well, I must admit I was a bit surprised that at 30psi the cap, well...ahem .. didn't even budge. I guess enough air escaped through the slots in the side of the cap that the pressure wasn't enough. (Hm... if I taped the slots shut, hmmm....Texas. Land of Todd.) Anyway the possibility of painting the inside of a tube is there, but somehow I doubt if that would work either.
Robby- I figured that these aren't the highest quality brushes, but like you said to get my feet wet and or if I never really do more than a bit of painting on a locomotive or two and some spraying for some weathering that when I used a brush it looks like, well I used a brush with paint on it. A bit of fading, you know light duty odds and end stuff.
Jerry- I thought about spray cans, but I recall my troubles with the spray cans in the past. When I try to get just a mist I get a mist and splatters. I thought with an airbrush I might be able to get a finer amount with no splatter and since I have compressor already $16 was ok to spend on one even if I don't use it a lot. Hopefully I will though.
Well the thunder is back. I guess I'll head on down to the train room and look for something to paint.

*sloooooooooooooooowly opens door, ducks down, looks around, looks around again.... cautiously enters*
Good afternoon all! Back from w**k, had to cover a free CPR class at the Solon Fire Dept. Good time had by all, got to hang with former comrades in EMS, and buddies in Fire.
TODD: Rerun (my trusted Chief of Security) and I have held conference and decided to accept your overture of peace in our time...or at least in the Diner proper. Have a RBF on our dime... I will let slip we were considering taking the unit up to the fire station, and hooking it up to the 2216 psi cascade system (used for filling the SCBA cylinders)...but, decided against it. I think the "new" cascade will go up to 4000-something...
'Nuff said... as together we enter a new era of peace, tranquility, and mutually assured airbrush mayhem.
ROBBY P: CR Harbor Freight didn't have the complete set like you showed, the compressor I got is a 1/8 hp, and the brush is blue rather than red...other than that, pretty much the same deal...just a few bucks cheaper in one box, imagine that. I had spotty luck with the plastic el-cheapo air brushes by Testors that Walmart used to sell. I used the canned air with 'em. Sometimes GREAT! Other times, the can and brush almost went flying out the window in disgust. For the handful of cars/locos I paint in a year...I think this set-up will do just fine. One thing is for sure, I'm going to have to really practice with this thing to get the "feel" of it.
JEFF: GLAD to hear your mother continues to improve... keep us posted 'eh?
BARRY: It's good to know who your friends are...
ULRICH: Keep the track plans coming...I'll steal...I mean, take under advisement...all the ideas I can for the layout I hope to build yet this century.
I know I'm forgetting some stuff I wanted to comment on... blame it on the WX radio waking me up multiple times this morning, followed by every bird in Clarence chirping pre-dawn, an untimely parade of trains on the UP, and a doozy of a thunder-boomer. I thought we were gonna get vaporized a few times as flashKA-BOOM!, some really close lightning strikes got my attention.
Gotta get w**king on the CPR photos/story. Tomorrow is payday, so to get some final hours on this check...it's a w**k day for me.

Last one repeated---Try this again
And the other which was from an earlier pit in the same complex
Well here's my C&O hopper. It was getting that "rusty/used look" UNTIL............................It hit the floor .
I guess this one won't make it to "the bay". Its now the newest piece of the layout. Called the LHS to see what time they closed 3:00pm. This happened at 2:30. I live about 30 mins. away. Would he have stayed open???? Probably not. Not for a $20.00 sale. I guess I will start on a new hopper tomorrow.
*You will see in the one picture a foot step is broke* *Plus when it hit the floor, a weight inside came loose* With these Athearn *RTR* cars, its pretty hard to take them apart without breaking something. So its my car.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Jeff - good to here your Mom is coming along
Barry - nice quarry shots, what kind of product do they produce? We have both asphalt and concrete plants here but nothing that large.
Chris - The FD has the newer 4000 psi SCBA bottles. Kind of hard to believe a fiberglass bottle will hold that pressure! I have a hard time with our aluminum 2200 psi O2 bottles! (we have the 'bomb-boxes' for filling of course)
Lee - stuff is in the mail.... finally....
Jerry - got your note, nice work on those open cars.
I know I left a whole bunch of you out... forgive me. I've looked through the posts and have seen a LOT of impressive work. You give the rest of us ideas and a level to achieve.
Eric
AmanaMedicRerun (my trusted Chief of Security) and I have held conference and decided to accept your overture of peace in our time...
Whew!...uh, I mean, wise decision. Janie, I'll take that RBF at the Rivet Counter thank you.
I didn't make it down stairs yet, got sidetracked with some Biscuits and Gravy the perfect wife made and then a nap hit me square in the face.
I'll just be flippin' through this latest issue of Model Railro....COSMOPOLITON! Oh for crying out loud. I'm going to the basement.
Afternoon, Janie - I'll have a RBF and an order of those cheesey fries, please 'n' thanks!
Was thinking something was wrong with the editing pages for a while. Well, turned out it was 'operator error'. I had visited a site that on every page gave me a little window that told me how I should use Microsoft Internet Exploder for best viewing (cheeky, arrogant li'l....), so I re-set my part of Firefox that tells a site what I'm using, to MIE/XP. However, after visiting that site, I'd neglected to change the setting back, so I was apparently confusing both the editing pages and myself. Ah well...
On the Airbrush Cap Detente Treaty talks, I wonder if the protective cap, is just designed to protect the airbrush tip *in-between* spraying sessions (but is designed to be removed for spraying)? What about that? Sorry, that's the best my mind can come up with for now. As for the Midwestern self-defense coalition , I may only have a cheap Badger and cans, but I will help out with the mopping-up after the big guns have fired...
On a slightly different slant, when I've used spray cans, I start to the side of whatever I'm painting and then bring the spray across the place where my building/item is, and get past the item before I let up on the spray button. Similarly when I used my inexpensive Badger 'brush. Others may use different techniques, I'm sure. Whatever works for you!
PC, very nice job on the leather straps and beadwork and all. Did you have to hunt to find those turquoise-looking beads? Nice touch! As for your defense, however...
Ulrich, sorry for the editing snafu on my previous post. I like several of the ideas in your layout design topic for your future layout. Lots of good stuff there (yep, saved the images for future reference on my 'puter's drive)! Best wishes on finding what you need for the tracklaying. That is WAY above my level of skill, alas... I'm still using code 100 track (at which all the TRUE RC's tend to curl up their noses, but that's another topic...).
Jeff, you gave me a chuckle, telling us that the docs removed the breathing tube, and NOW she's telling them what she thinks of them. I can just picture that! I bet the doctors will do everything in their power to get her healed up enough to send home ASAP.
Todd, you might want to be careful about where you aim that cap - Paul might have a few friends in the Texas Rangers who would want to, uh ...talk... with you about things. Just keep on laying low for now, that's the ticket. And imagine that - a nice, yummy meal making a fella doze off! Oh, hey, just a wild guess, but did the wife's Cosmo happen to have the 'S' word on the cover (sex)? Hey, just call me psychic....
Robby, excellent job on that covered hopper! The weight doesn't make the car sit crooked or anything, does it (just noisy if I tilted the car, more likely)? Oh, check your email, too.
I glued the roof on my trailer park office today (epoxy; had glued the walls and the floor together previously) this afternoon. I also started putting together one of my LBF gondola kits, but I am *not* a fan of their construction design. Durn coupler pockets that are only glued to the bottom of the body (and not a bunch else), and then they expect that to hold them while you're trying to tighten the screws holding the wheels? Sheeesh!! I'm gonna let the glue dry overnight and see how well that holds, and then I'm going to epoxy or CA. Oh yeah, I picked up four mini-tubes of SuperGlue at H-L with my other stuff yesterday. Figured that might cut down on the (other 3) tubes drying up on me between jobs. May switch over to assembling one of my Bowser covered (2-)bay hopper kits later today.
I'll be at the corner booth, making some notes on what stuff I need to put together or w**k on next for the layout. You all take care of yourselves, y'hear?
Blessings and prayers,
Jim in Cape Girardeau
Jim- Cosmopoliton with the "S" word on the cover, how did you ever guess. But no, not at my house some jokester put the July issue Model Railroader cover on the Cosmo at the Rivet Counter! You know the ones they have where most restaurants put menus? By the napkin holders. And good point about Texas I'll rethink,..er I mean I wasn't thinking about taking over Texas. why thats where my family's from. I wouldn't dream of starting anything with the Motherland. Though it would be nice to keep it in the family, even if it's just for the beer..
Eric: Carmeuse produces everything from Limestone blocks for retaining walls to Limestone for foundries and such. This particular site stretches from the North edge of Ingersoll ON to just South of Beachville ON along the old Ingersoll Rd. It is pretty big that is for sure. One has to be on their alert around there as they do have blasting operations in about 4 segments of the quarry complex. We just spent the day doing the older part of the quarry------oh, BTW----found this shut down mill (actually, I think this is temporary--with these guys one can't be too sure)
And then again----weatherers take note----this other mill at the other end is all covered in the limestone dust-----
A fence along the border of the property was just covered in it----
Afternoon all from Getting-Back-To-Abnormal-Cal:
Our Spring storm is now in residence over Idaho, and we're climbing into the sunny '80's, but still with a Delta Breeze. Temps are supposed to head to somewhere around June Abnormal around here for the next week, then another system is supposed to move in on Friday. Our local TV weatherman came up with a prediction map for the rest of the month (sent to him by a buddy of his in Arkansas) that says our June will be wetter and cooler than normal. They must know something in Arkansas that we don't, LOL! Frankly, I hope his buddy in Arkansas is right. If so, I take back everything I've ever said about Mount Idy and Barnyard Switch. Seriously, that's one Very Pretty state.
Had one of those OMYGAW experiences at Vesper Mass, last night. First of all, Br. James, our Parish Music Director, came into the rehearsal room and told me that they'd changed the Gathering Song. I asked him what the new one was, he told me. Never HEARD of it! He went running over to the Office to run me off a copy. Then, while I was waiting for that--nobody showed up. I mean, the choir. Finally the Director came into the room shaking his head. Everybody was out of town. James came back with the new Gathering Song. "If you can't play it, I will," he said. Director glared at him. "Tom can sight-read ANYTHING. By the way, we have no c hoir. You and I are IT!" Meanwhile, I'm busy sight-reading the new Gathering Song which has a piano part obviously written by a saxophone player with Dyslexia. And to top it off, in the Sanctuary, Mark, our terrific set-up/sound man has set the chairs up for a full choir. Then he popped his head in and grinned and said, "You're all set up." "Better un-Set it," Br. James said. "There's three of us." "And I don't sing," I muttered, still working on this New Gathering Song.
Actually, it went well. I made it through the Gathering Song--well, a few notes fell by the wayside--okay MORE than a few-- but like I say about the Masses at our Parish: We do it for God, not Critics, LOL!
Ran some trains on the MR today, and found out something--DUH! My Balboa SP GS-4 and my Akane SP AC-8 cab-forward run just BEAUTIFULLY, double-headed. Now, mind you, I've had both of these locomotives for longer than I've been bald (which is a while, BTW), but for some strange reason, I've never thought about double-heading them. Remember, I'm DC, so I'm not 'programming' them, I'm just turning a knob on my Controlmaster 20 and seeing what happens. Well, they like each other. Hooked up my two-tone gray "Overland" cars and had a very neat experience. I will say that both locos run like little Swiss watches--and not through that much work on my part--it's the way they've been since I bought them used quite a few years ago. Very well done lokies, mechanically. Posted a couple of photos on WPF, but in case you didn't see them, here's an encore of one as they pull out of Deer Creek:
Jeff: Glad to hear about your mom. Things sound good.
Barry: Those are some neat photos. That quarry looks SO swimmable!!
And for those of you currently embroiled in the Great Spray Can vs Airbrush Debate: Either will work, take it from me. You just have to be VERY careful with both. But whichever you choose--WEAR A MASK!!!
Best to all, prayers to those in need.

Hello Diner Denizens! Good to be back, and good to see Sue dropped in the other day. Can't now recall who asked...
John... Interesting story about the LED's .. have you heard from Fergie?
Bridge Tom:
Not that I wouldn't want you to, but right now, we're broke, we have no money, we have no credit, we are the financial laughing stock of the country--you name it, we've got it. In Spades.

think I'm about ready to give up on the 70% alcohol for my GP40-2, its just not doing the job, checked it again this morning and not a speck of paint is missing. Anyone got any better suggestions?
If that doesn't work there is always the brake fluid method but I always worry about disolving the shell or getting it on me, even with gloves.
Ray:

JR:
Jason - I hear you about swing shift. I used to enjoy standing mid watch best.
Barry: About those low flying choppers. Do you think there's a connection with the widening search for Tori Stafford's remains? BTW, before you rush to build that impressive industrial thing you posted today, have a look at the cost of handrails and stairs in your scale. My minimalized rails for the container crane (yet to arrive at the LHS) are a tad more than I had originally budgeted for. I'm glad of the delivery delay!
Sawyer: Your N Scale weathering gives me hope One day (after the RaiLink decals perhaps) I must dirty up some of my stuff too.
Rob: Before you lay unreachable track for the sake of a visually more interesting arrangement, is there enough room to put some bends in the straight portions, or at least have the line-of-sight interrupted a bit by treed hillocks? Something to break up the look of the long straight. My one long straight is unavoidable because of space, so I know where you are coming from, but I have been able to put in a passing siding which now serves a major industry along a back wall.
CapeJim:
Jason, if you're gonna get rid of the mags, you could scan the articles you like in,
Jeff: first of all, I hope you mother continues to improve, and doesn't freak too much (or loudly?!) about her hair. Second of all, hope also your foot problems get resolved quickly. Prayers on both counts..
My nephew says he can use it in his pool (billiards) room. I told him to bring a friend. That beast is heavy!
Ulrich: , my present layout's an around-the-room shelf type, but in places the shelf is quite wide due to an unusual architectural feature of the room. This is N Scale to get more track in the available space. What's your scale? Can't say I have any experience of handlaying, but here is a mmr outside of Monkton, New Brunswick who does that, builds turnouts too, and this is in N. Send me an email, and I'll send you his address. I'm sure Allan will be happy to help.
Chris, Barry et al: On the Protective Cap mystery, I see the manufacturer doesn't have a web site I've emailed a Central Pnuematics user on Yahoo Answers, and will see if he can help (a Chev drag racer BTW). I'm just amazed, along with Ulrich at how cheaply you guys are able to buy this stuff. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Chris:
In order to ensure (or is it insure?)
Todd:
Did I hear someone correctly, they have used that Folk Art paint from Wally World in their airbrushes and it worked fine?
That's about up to date on the pages, for the first time in a while! On the personal mmr front, I got the two warranty replacement de-coders last week, and installed both very carefully, checking for shorts at every stage possible, yesterday. The first one on the test/program track (to test for lights and action on address 3) took off like the proverbial Protective Cap, in reverse, with no turn of the throttle having been made! Resetting CV8 to 2 (this manufacturer's Factory Reset.) stopped that, but once in Forward, the circuit protection light on the test track glowed fiercely, indicating a dead short. Has to be the decoder, as there were no shorts in the install. So that one goes back for a warranty replacement replacement. Second up, no lights (there weren't on the first either) no action, nothing, nada. Reset factory default, no joy there. Go to Program mode and try to read CVs...not one can be read! I am getting a bit tired of this, and would like to have my locos running. Now I have to fill out a Warranty Purchase all over again for these things. I don't want to lose the $s plus postage I've put in, and feel the tiniest bit frustrated. [/rant]
I'll have a decaf JR Regular please. Have had to cut out the caffeine (well just coffee flavoured, chocolate is fine) and any alcoholic beverages since an old ulcer started to act up a few weeks ago. Meds are helping, but I have to be symptom free for a week before I can cut them out
I'll say good evening, and God Bless. Prayers continuing for all in need of healing, comfort and peace.

***Barry, excellent photos you're posting.
***Tom, that's an interesting combo you're running there in a GS-4 and AC-8 cab-forward. It's especially cool they run so well together. One day when I've decided on a permanent track plan and it's in place, I look forward to experimenting with all my steamers to see if any of them "get along". Mine are DC, too.
der5997Sawyer: Your N Scale weathering gives me hope One day (after the RaiLink decals perhaps) I must dirty up some of my stuff too.
Thanks man. It's easy to do once you get the hang of it. I use bragdon powders; I think Robby does as well, along with washes and paint and such.
Speaking of whom: hey Robby, how'd you do those rust scratches on that C&O hopper?

Rob:
Actually, it's something that SP did fairly frequently on their San Francisco/Los Angeles Coast Line between San Luis Obispo and Santa Margaurita to the north, over the 2.2% Cuesta Grade (which is spectacular, BTW). The GS series very seldom if ever ran on the trans-Sierra grade, SP usually kept them on either the Coast, Valley or Shasta Lines, but I got curious as to whether they'd like each other. I was surprised that they did.
A lot of DC locos can run in tandem pretty well, if you just play with the throttle. I don't have much trouble double-heading with a lot of my locos, but I usually keep them within either the same wheel arrangement or close to the same driver size. Frankly, I was surprised that a GS-4 with 80" drivers would react so well to a 63" drivered articulated. But they evened out very nicely.
Just like the prototype.
Rob, TomW: Thanks for the comments---at least everything seems to transfer. Unlike what happened earlier--
JohnDer: If'n I start going into that ---especially with the center mill--I'd be lookin' into getting all those staircases and such maybe about 3 years ahead of the finish date---just keep on buying the dang things!! LOL!!
Barry....I agree, neat shots.
Sawyer........The rust pits are done by a fine paint brush. LIGHTY touch the car (in spots), and you will have a rust pits. GENTLY pull/slid the paint brush down the side of the car, and you have a rust gash. Normally I use a mixture of powders and oils for the pits/gashes. Then I go back with a soft brissle brush with powder on it for the texture. Then I go back over that with a darker oil. Gives the rust some depth.
Well guys, its been along day. Its about time for bed.
Just dropped in for a night-cap (non-toxic, see previous post) and to see if this link would post. It's for CatTom, and all other Phelinophiles! Enjoy!

Don't worry he's the biggest baby you will meet. He was growling last night at something. I let him out of his cage, and he ran to the bedroom. Some watch dog . So I had to go look.

We have a couple of decent craft and sewing supply places around here, so it wan't too hard. I thought they added a nice splash of color though. Nice enough that I've been doing more leatherwork and using turquoise rivets to dress it up more.
As for your defense, however...

Been a long busy day here in the Finger Lakes. First my Granddaughters baptism. Emily fell asleep in the minister's arms as he was doing the baptism. She did wake up when she got the cold water on the head though. Kinda looked at him as if to say, "What was that?" She is a bright little girl though, she has already learned to sleep all the way through the sermon. (Took her Grandfather years to figure that one out.... Just kidding. In fact my usual greeting to the minister after church is usually, Good Sermon Rev.! Didn't get me usual nap.")
Then we had the party in the afternoon at my son's house. Emily is quickly becoming a cute little girl (of course I have to think that....). Here she is at the party:
And being carried by her father:
And my other granddaughter has now reached officially "The Terrible Twos" and delights in not doing anything anyone else wants her to do...... She is however also at the giggly age (and will be for many years probably). Here she is being carried upside down by my son:
Got home late afternoon from the festivities, got a couple of yard items done that had been on my list, and then headed off to do some scenery in the train room.
Oh this cat did NOT like the video....... (ROFLMAO! nothing like a truly ticked off, terrified feline! If it was Black and White, that would be my sister's cat!)
"Daddy, I would never do that!"
I mean, look at that sweet little face........
Oh, and der, those robins would have had to find a way into the house as the kitties that live with don't go outside....... Hmmmm, Manét is looking a bit "well fed" at the moment........Hope all of you had at least as good a day!

Good evening!....... It's RBF time!
Jeff, it's good to hear your Mom is improving. I know it's no fun having a family member on one of those brathing tube things.
Barry........ The limestone plant in Ingersoll looks a little familiar. Back when I lived near Detroit, I used to ride the train between WIndsor and Toronto ocaasionally for several years. I think we went thru Ingersoll, but I am not sure about that. Also, Barry, if you don't mind would you use a weed whacker to trim around the fence? It's looking a bit untidy.
Ulrich ... I have a small amount of track I installed by hand. It was a lot of extra work.
"Bridge Tom" ....... Those SP locos are looking good on that fantastic layout of yours!
Der John...... I'm glad you could catch up with Fergie. I hope yo usaid we missed him. Also, next time you contact him, please tell him "congratualtions" from the Diner.

Good morning, Zoe - am I the first one in today?
Yup, it´s breakfast for me today, not only coffee, as on the odd days. I´ll have some toast, scrambled eggs and bacon, please.
So, it is going to be an important day today. Need to talk to the banks - maybe there is a chance to save my business, I hope, I pray...
Otherwise it is just dull, rainy and cold outside, only 10 degrees Celsius (how much is that in Fahrenheit? - I forgot how to calculate this).
Have a good day!
Evenin' Folks!
Just a brief stop in. I'm almost certain at this point that my mom won't let me get that M16... So, I'm looking at guitars. My Fender Starcaster is a low end, quality-controlless piece of junk. The amp cable reciever unscrewed itself, and I didn't even touch the amp cable. Fail. So, I'm looking at an Epiphone Les Paul 100, or an Epiphone Les Paul SG G-310. My reasoning for each is: The Les Paul is Jimmy Page's usual guitar, and it sounds great and I like it. But, I have a Les Paul at my dad's house. The SG is Angus Young's usual guitar, and sounds good for soloing and the like, and I don't have one at either house. So, do any of you guitarist have any opinions on either guitar?
Thanks,
Mark
Good morning.It's 68 and partly cloudy. The high will be in the low 90's and it will be partly cloudy.Today seems to be starting out as one of my bad days. I get them once in a while. One side of my body seems like it's half asleep with bouts of pain, almost like fire. Must have dislodged one of the discs in my neck again. Only time will correct it. I'll see if I can get a little work done on the layout today. I don't think I'll be up to any wiring work though. I also have to pick out which 4 cars will be replaced by the 4 new hoppers. There are entirely too many box cars.Today's Weather for:Sundown, LA 71446-6114 6/8/2009Heat Index: 70°FHumidity: 94%Dew Point: 68°FSo Far TodayHigh: 71°FLow: 68°FRain: 0.00"Rain Rate: 0.00"/hGust: 5mph SToday High: 92 Partly cloudy.

I have offended my neighbors, all of them; Saturday I picked up two yards of compost dirt affectionately called “stinky dirt” by the yard supply place and filled my front and side flower beds and the rhubarb bed 4” deep with it. As of yesterday it was still attracting flies.That is a very nice airbrush kit you picked up from HF tools!Eric, thanks I appreciate it very much!Jeff, sounds like your Mom will make a full recover, I’m glad things are working out for the best.John, my buddy uses the folk art paint all the time in his airbrush and it looks really good and at 50 cents a bottle you can’t go too wrong.
