  "Hi, just a cup of hot coffee please" 

  Whoa hey,  thanks for the nice 'Welcome'  Its always nice to be around others to talk about trains.  I've been busy all morning it seems.  Took my son's car to get smog certifide, seems that took up the better part of the morning.  Well I did wash it as well.  He and his sister are hundreds of miles away in college.  Took my second oldest 5 years to get through with Junior College, my youngest 3 years.  But they are both living together.. and walk to the campus which is only two blocks away.  Which is the very reason why I have his car now.  My oldest son is moving today, wow.. empty house.  Woo Hoo~ !  Maybe Jeanne will go out dinning and dancing... lol. So my wife comes home for lunch.. I was working on my layout.. she's gone now.. and here I am.  Just wanted to drop in and say hello~

Milk and a Dale's Sauce drowned steak, Zoe.

Speaking of RS-3's, I saw two of the Delaware Lackawanna's RS-3's. They hava a sharp looking quartet of RS's, and they make your heart skip a beat when they throttle up.

Here is some pics of the fleet on northeast.railfan.net

Ulrich: Good luck as well!Angel

I've got another project going on. I'm makeing a piece of bead packing foam into a diarama with a bridge crossing a river in a gully. I'll post pics when the camera charges.

You're welcome guys!  I certainly wouldn't have left the Chapel Car sitting on the old siding, we need it right here for all those having health problems and such.  Besides it was parked in the way of the move so we just coupled on to both of them for the move......Whistling

Sure was nice of them to go to all the trouble of laying a new siding for us.  Here is a video of some of the work getting her ready for us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJI_xtN37y4&feature=player_embedded

I think I may have found a Rubber Chicken for the skit at church this Sunday.  The local Theater Guild may have one that we can borrow.

Thanks for taking care of the move Ray. I like the new siding - nice and level. One thing we find at the museum is when equipment gets parked for a long period the track tends to sag under it. Guess the real operating roads never left anything standing still for as long as we do. On another note, what happens when we get to chapter 50 ? We should get a prize for talking so muchWhistling.    J.R.

Those are neat engines-

 

Sure are, and that one still has the original Alco Prime Mover in her.  We have at least one RS1, an RS2, and of course the RS3 #211 with the EMD 567B rebuild on board.

Flo, I managed to work up an appetite getting the dining car to a new track so I think I'll have the #2 special this morning.  Over easy on the eggs, bacon, homefies, and a double order of sourdough toast to tide me over 'til lunch. Oh and my usual for coffee in a R&GV mug!  I'll be at the Rivet Counter watching Barry do his homew**k.

Good morning!

Welcome to the same old diner just moved a couple of tracks over.  The track crew got a brand new siding all set up for us.  Even started up an old RS1 to do the moving:

Start the engine boys!

Probably a good idea to get the move done as the old track was having some issues with that wrap around thing.

So sit down and order up on me this morning!
