Good Morning,
another nearly sleepless night - not to good if one urgently needs a good rest. Well, gives me time to think about my layout plans.
No time to rest - it is back to the re-education GULAG. What a waste of precious time!
My layout plans still need a lot of tinkering around and about. What I do not like about the set-up is, that the layout would require a lot of preparation to get it into operation mode. Just to let some trains run will take a lot of time and work - plus an additional pair of hands to "install" the removable sections. I also have to leave the wardrobe where it is - I need the room undeneath the layout shelves to store the books currently stored in the two bookcases and, of course, the inflatable bed, when Christian is with us.
So it will be back to the drawing board...
You all have a good day!
The push-pull rods are stained dowel rods and would require a hole drilled through the layout at the center of the turnout or under the head ties where the ground throw would be located. A hole would need to be drilled in the fascia board and 2 conduit clamps would need to be secured to the bottom of the layout (glue and screw is recommended). Basically that’s it. A small finishing nail is inserted through the turnout like a under table switch machine and into the dowel rod (must be glued into the dowel) under the table.
When the operator pulls or pushes the dowel rod the switch is thrown. Resistance to hold the turnout in place is a small rubber o-ring placed on the fascia where the dowel comes out.
The lighted indicators can be added at any time. A dual color DC LED mounted in the fascia with contact strips glued to the dowel rod. When the turnout is positioned for straight or pass through position the light is green, when you throw the turnout to the siding the rod moves the contact strips to reverse the polarity on the LED and it shows a red light. The Caboose Industries ground throws can cost $2.50 each this method can cost around 25 cents each + the materials for the lights.
If you don’t want to use the lights you can buy window wedges. The dowel rod is installed as noted above with a spring added behind the fascia board with a pin through the dowel. When you pull the dowel to position the turnout you drop a small wedge over the dowel to hold it in place. A furniture knob is secured to the end of the dowel for the wedge to rest on. Or a cheaper method is to find a thick section of tube and glue it over the end of the dowel rod to keep the wedge from passing over the end.

Good Morning All,
It's 16F and cloudy with the high today predicted to be 27. At least no sn*w or wind today. I'll have a regular coffee and a bowtie please. Just lots going on in the shop today then the museum tonight so I'd better gert to it. CUL, J.R.
Well, good morning all! No hunting for me, due to the now 2 page long HD list I have.....*grumbles, gripes* Oh well, I've still got the rest of January to go hunting. You were right Jim, I didn't get to use my .30-06 all of '09, but I do plan on using it this year! And JR, I DO laugh about the air matress incident, however; Amy doesn't! Well, I'll start the day off right with an order of cheese grits, scrambled eggs with cheese, biscuits and gravy, and a tall glass of milk. I figure if I hurry through my list I might be able to hit the woods this afternoon by 2-ish. On the MRR front, I recieved the email from MB Klien that my SD40-2 has shipped! Checked the status this morning, and its in Laurel, MD, currently in transit. I might be able to check back in on it about lunch time and see what its progress is. I expect the loco to be here late tomorrow afternoon or Thursday. I'm really happy about it.
Well, I see breakfast is coming towards me, so I'm going to go and occupy the window booth and enjoy it.
Good morning. Its still snowing, and maybe all week. Just a inch or so each day.
Worked on the layout for several hours yesterday. I haven't done that in awhile. Tried to upload a video, but the computer didn't want to work right. Maybe I can get some shots later. Might head back in the basement again.
Not much planned other than that.
Hope everybody has a good morning.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Morning. Bowl of hot oatmeal please and coffee. Still colder than a Well Diggers....patootie out there. But hey, it's supposed to be sunny and 15 today. Got THAT going for me. Of course the wind chill will be between -4 and -14.
Boy it sounds like there is a lot of scheming going on in here to get Ulrich some real estate! Reminds me of Fred Flintstone planning how to get to go bowling when he's not supposed too!!
Jim- About the time it took to plug it in and wait for the TV to auto program the stations and we were watching TV. Wife happy. I don't know about how good this TV is. I got mixed reviews. We're Zenith people ourselves. Have had Zeniths for years and aside from a lightning strike, they have performed flawlessly for decades. Well, except for the one with the cold solder joint. Kinda annoying. But it works and works well as long as it's not too cold in the room when you want to turn it on. The Bigscreen was also a Zenith and the only reason we replaced it is because of the color bulbs. We need one replaced or filled and then adjusted, or something like that, and the estimate was $300 to $700 depending, 2 years ago. PLUS we have to get it to them or pay $50.00 for them to come get it. The new TV cost 548 saved up dollars and it's digital HD. Not much of a choice there. And you are correct. I only allowed myself one well chosen moment to mention the fact that it was the first place we went and the first choice of the selections there. And I did say I don't think we'll find a better one at a better price. Of course we didn't. I don't believe I mentioned that we wasted 3 or 4 hours driving and shopping for nothing. I might have credit should I want to mention it again!!
Vincent- Cougar Eliminator. Now There's a car you don't here to much about anymore. Used to be you could build a Cougar for a fraction of what a Mustang cost and have, in my opinion of course and don't be offended because we're talking late 60's here, a better looking car than a Mustang. Boy I thought them Cougars were sharp. (sorry Mustang guys, just my opinion and judging by the numbers, I'm in the minority)
Johnboy- I am friends with a lady who works for the Feds in the Airport security for the airport in Springfield. I shall print this and present it to her. She'll get a kick out of it!
DerJohn- Glad you're still kickin' up there. And about the work bench, shoot, I can't even get the thing cleaned off. Funny story too. Sounds like the U.S.
Wow! I'm sure feeling lucky on our lack of snow.
Well, on the MR front. I have decided what I'm going to do..... Take a nap..... NO! I am going to remove a section of the layout that is a loop and is constructed per layout drawing from MR magazine however their is no room for structures as was drawn. So, it's gone. Or soon will be. This will allow for an extended peninsula, and will hopefully allow for the large City With No Name. I want to get another passenger station in there and a couple more industries. We'll see how that goes. I also think if I move my Beer Distributor to the other side of the tracks I could have a residential area also. After listening to the talk about Ulrich's door, I do believe I will remove the door, casing and all and turn it so it opens out instead of into the room. A luxory an owner has that a renter does not. This will solve the "open door while swing out, or up, is in place and I didn't think to lock the door wide eyed horror look on my and the person who walks through said door look on the faces."
So let's see, Grocery truck at 10:30ish. Can't do the bookwork for the Church until after noon. Hmmmmm. I do need a turnout or two and a code 100 to 83 transition track and it is Tuesday............
Have a Great Day!!!

In order to keep my position as Master and Supreme Ruler of the House, I don't argue with my wife.
I'm a small town boy. A product of two people from even smaller towns. I don’t talk on topic….. I just talk.
Todd,
Was that a town with no name or a horse with no name??? Or was the horse's name Town?
Mornin' everyone!
Zoe I'll have a big bowl of oatmeal and my dark roast coffee in a FGLK mug if you please. Oh, yes, need some brown sugar for the oatmeal. I'll go sit at the Rivet Counter for a bit.
It is currently 18°F outside here in the Finger Lakes with some little wite flakes hanging in the air. I say hanging in the air because they don't seem to ever really arrive anywhere, they just are floating around out there. Supposed to have an inch of the stuff today........ High of 21*F and the low tonight around 19°F. The rest of the week is supposed to be more of the same.
Chris so you named your truck Tori, huh? Sounds like a good name. Not sure I would want a truck named "Trusty Rusty"........ Well maybe. My late wife had a little VW bug that she insisted on buying (our first 2nd. car) that had been sitting in a farmers field for several years....... Should have been a red flag right there, but she was told the radio still worked (Or would as soon as a working battery was put in it) and THAT was a major selling point for her. Two tires were completely flat but the farmer insisted they would be fine with a bit of air put in them.... Let's just say we made the 10 mile trip home with it before they were flat again. Car only cost us $100 dollars. After putting in $600 or so into immediate repairs to get it to pass inspection, she had a almost drivable car. As a rule something either broke or fell off it on a weekly basis, so she finally named it "Tinker Toy". I ended up driving it more than she did. Ended up taking out the rear seat and used it to haul wood for my old wood stove back then. My pickup truck also has a name. I have called all my pickup trucks "Anacrusis"................ (I'll let Tom explain.) (I mentioned the name of the truck at a Music Dept. meeting years ago and I thought the HS Band teacher was never going to catch his breath...... Most of the rest of the dept. didn't get it.)
Actually should get to spend most of today down in the layout room...........
I will catch you all later!

It's 33 and sunny. The high is supposed to be 45 but I don't think it's gonna make it.Got the computer back up. I had the power supply tested this morning an dit checked out fine so the only thing left to check for was a mainboard problem. I reinstalled the power supply then checked the mainboard connections over with a fine toothed comb. The problem was so simple and so small I almost missed it. The CMOS jumper block had come off! I put a new one on then pressed the power button and everything works. Needless to say my day greatly improved. Went to see the foot doc first thing this morning and he's very happy with what he found. The wound is now only about 12 millimeters deep and about 30 millimeters across. That's a big improvement from 50 and 146. My parent's have invited me over for chili dogs later and I accepted. I may only be able to eat one but I'm gonna enjoy it!

Good afternoon... bucket of coffee to thaw me out please 'n thank-you...
JEFF: 33 and sunny??? I think we're maybe at 10 degrees, hard to tell with the sub-zero windchill... I can't wait until our temperature gets back to 33... 46? Sounds like paradise! T-shirt and shorts time for sure!!!
RAY: I looked it up...pretty clever My wife wants an old bug in a bad way...someday, maybe someday. In the meantime, she absolutely loves her 2000 new beetle. It has been pretty reliable. I've been passing on all the tales of Bugs you guys have been relating...the good, the bad, the ugly. She remains undeterred.
TODD: Cougar...sweet ride. A good friend has one he's playing with. He had a wonderful blue Cougar, a '68 or '69.
Had is the key. His "adult" son took it out for a spin while Dear Old Dad was away on vacation, and wound up destroying it. Now he's got a *censored*-brown one. I'm hoping he paints it.
LEE: Thanks for the "how-to" on the turnout throws... THAT's even simpler than I thought it'd be. Simple is good.
I've been fiddling with headline ideas for last night's school board meeting. It seems, I have to have "turn of phrase" or "word play" or "play on words" so THAT it is entertaining as well as informative.
Journalism is dead.
Now, in addition to "just the facts, Ma'am," you have to have witty insights, personal observations, and little "asides" to the reader as if you were reading it to them, looking up from your paper, and making a subtle (or not so sublte) comment to the reader; then continuing on with the narrative. Mr. Boss seems to think he's a witty cat... I read a LOT of his stuff trying to do the Year in Review project. I'm starting to wonder if he stopped being an editor at a daily on his terms...or theirs. THAT went from elementary school teacher to reporter/editor... maybe THAT's why she is so infatuated with her Iowa Newspaper Association awards...
Tonight, I get to be...a photographer, as I'll journey out to Tiffin and the Clear Creek Amana high school to cover girls basketball. It used to be a JV game followed by the Varsity match. Now, you have 9th grade, 10th grade, then varsity...with a number of the sophs playing again in the varsity game. Makes for a long night...good for the paycheck.
Back to the salt mine...I gotta get something written. I'm toying with a Cole Porter (I think) kinda thing...something along the lines of "beginning the beginning"... hey, you music guys, help a brother out!!!!
Chris
I'll be doggone... the radio news just had THAT story... The pencil-neck geek I thought was with a paper...is with a newsradio outfit in Iowa City (recognized the voice). They just played his story. Amazing...he had no "turn of phrase," he did no "witty asides," he...injected no wit, no humor. He nailed the info in a concise package lasting all of about 15 seconds. I liked it!
THAT would've hated it.
The Cedar cRapids Industrial Branch: Proudly Shipping Yesterday's CrunchBerries Tomorrow!
Good afternoon gents, just dropped in for a hot chocolate Cloe.
26F global warming degrees here under cloudy skies all day.
MRR: Took some photos of the trellis yesterday, and started installing risers and elevations to meet the track height, more of that activity today, I just hope I have enough risers.
CHRIS: Yes, this was "part" of the big storm, you see THREE storms all came together to form one BIG storm off the south coast of Nova Scotia, then it backed up south to the New England coast due to a blockinh High over Greenland. As for Global Warming, tell us how you REALLY feel?
RAY: Now that little engineer really looks intent at running those trains, so WHERE is her hat Ray??? Come ON Grampa, get with it !!
JOE: I dont envy you having driven in that big storm, many traffic problems everywhere.
BARRY: I didnt know that the last Ice Age had ended yet? LOL What did cause it to end and retreat, sun spot increase?
LEE: Just think Lee, if those Glaciers didnt carve out the Great Lakes, where would your ships be?
FOSSIL PHIL: Speaking of fossils from the last Ice Age ( lol ) , you had better get your garden hose out and water those Orange trees tonight.
JEFF: Power supply problems huh, Tiger Direct had a good sale on 650 watt PS for $29 last week. BTW Running Bear , where is Little White Dove ?
ED: Flannels??? You mean you cant keep Fran warm at 50F??????? WHAT ??????????????? Red Sox have new 3rd baseman, from Seattle.
JIM: The photos have been taken, now I have to get some time to download. The camera has many holiday photos so I need to get some time to do this in between shoveling and bringing in wood. As for the storm, it has finally moved north towards Labrador, but is so big that it has clouds still over us and snow in Maine.
WA1VEI "73"
grayfox1119As for Global Warming, tell us how you REALLY feel?
I'm just gonna say THAT it is my belief THAT there have been many "climate catastrophes" throughout the lifetime of this planet. THAT everything is cyclical...and THAT big ball of fire in the sky has a lot more to do with it than us mere mortals. Did "esss you a-Veeeeees" (as Al Gore would say) cause the dinosaurs to become extinct??? What happened to the impending ice age "they" (always "they") were warning us about in the 1970s? I think its a bit of a stretch to say THAT us mere mortals can destroy the planet. Yeah, I'm all for clean water and clean air, but I also think those things can be achieved without destroying business/industry/commerce/the economy. I also think there are some opportunistic vermin who are profiting from the fear factor of "climate change." I resent being told I HAVE to buy a certain kind of lightbulb "to save the planet." A lightbulb costing far more than the good old incandescent. Have you seen the guidelines for clean-up if a CFL breaks?? I keep telling Loving Wife to grab lightbulbs with each trip to the store so we can stock-up on them. I also fail to put much faith in "consensus" where it applies to science. Science is supposed to be based on fact, period. I also don't put much stock in the dire predictions of what's to come in 10, 20, 50, 100 years when the weather speculationists can't even nail a three-day forecast.
Am I in trouble yet?
Son of K0IXH "73"
And now...back to trains, well except for me... I've GOT to get something written for THAT before heading out into the arctic blast. Oh yeah, original predictions had this as a "mild" winter...now "they" are saying it will be among the coldest. Hmmmmmmmmm.
Good afternoon. Its still snowing, but on the light side.
About the only work I did on the layout was paint all of the wood legs under the layout. I painted them black, and what a difference.
The wife and I went to the library the other day, and the have several old editions of MRR, and the new ones. I can finally catch up. I got a few to pick up today. Didn't really know that the local library would have these.
I see some people are talking about "global warming". All I know is the older PA people say "a mild summer, means a rough winter". Well so far the older people are right!!
Forgive me, I'm old. Is it Chris who's wife likes VW's? Go to buckleshop.com , They have three VW buckles, diff colors. Also all kinds of other vehicles including trains.
Prayers and Blessings for warmer weather.

Hey folks. Chloe, I'll take some powerade and some fries; nothing too heavy though. Rugby practice will literally be freezing by the time it's over; projected to be 30 degrees F at 8, lol. Going to wear a long sleeve undershirt and soccer socks.Y'all have a good one!

Hope all are having a good evening this night? I'll place the foot baths and heating pads out for those who have had to shovel snow yet again... Choe, can you please get anyone to whom THAT statement applies a LARGE cup o' jo and a platter of their favorite meal? On me, of course!!!
Doesn't it always seem that your vacation flies past like a flashbulb for a picture? Then you don't want to go back to w*rk?
Had trouble getting my b*tt out of bed yesterday... dragged donkey most of the day... hit the sack early last evening...
Felt much better today as I had gotten one more day of "paid servitude" under my belt...
I'll be in the back booth cramming more territory into memory... hopefully I can remember enough for the written test and verbal review on friday...
Chloe, may I please have a giant glass of the OJ I keep hearing about? Also, may I please have a large bowl of mint chocolate ice cream with two chocolate chip cookies? Thank you!

I Model the New Hope & Ivyland RR (Bucks County, PA)
Well I had an interesting night; the truck needed a new alternator, so while I had it in the shop I had the 3 year old battery on the passenger side replaced, and an oil change (16 quarts). The shop charged me $38 for labor. I had an eye appointment after picking up the truck, everything is good to go, but they dilated my eyes so no MRR stuff again tonight. $530 for the truck and $105 for the eye appointment w/3 month supply of contact lenses, I’m glad the Salvation Army bell ringer wasn’t standing in the parking lot when I left the eye doctor or I might have hit him, LOL. I got a letter in the mail today that Uncle Sam will not pay an increase in retirement or Social Security checks this year because the cost of living index did not show an increase over last year; however they raised my Federal taxes just over $9/month.
I think I need something stronger than Root Beer tonight!
WHOOOOO-HOOOOOOO
lol, the cold just makes rugby better. I dressed for it (long sleeve Starter undershirt w/ cotton t-shirt and sweat pants, as well as long socks) and loved it. I'm left lock in the scrums and also the back guy raised up in a lineout. I'll let those of you folks who have been around rugby longer than me explain it.
Evenin' folks!
Zoe just a cup of decafe for me tonight. I'll go sit in the back by the fire and stay warm.
Packers#1I'm left lock in the scrums
Sawyer, I do hope that is not too painful. Take 2 aspirin and you'll feel better in the morning...
Actually got to do some w**k on the layout for a change today (in between several interruptions). Finished paining the 2 flat cars' decks. They came out very nice. Painted the "soil" along the cut around "Bare Mountain", and installed two DPDT Toggle Switches in holes in the fascia. Tomorrow I hope to get the flat cars decaled and sprayed with a coat of dull coat and they will be done except for whatever I decide to use for loads.
Have Deacons tomorrow night so I will spend part of the day getting materials ready for THAT, but I should be able to spend some time in the layout room as well.
Looked outside as I came over to the computer and there appears to be some white something or other covering the road tonight....... Hmmm. Only supposed to get an inch of it, so no problem.
Hope all of you are staying warm and enjoying the winter weather where ever you find it!

It's actually perfect. Second row, not the first, so you don't get hit too bad and just push the front line forward.
Chris:
Hey DER JOHN, yeah..."Trusty Rusty" counts...maybe someday my Tori may need a name change to something like THAT! Especially with all the salt and salt solution they dump on the roads around here.
Lee:Thanks for the detailed description of your dowel turnout throws. Anything that gets away from those HUGE ground throws has to be a plus in my book, as does any way to realistically cut mrr costs!
The push-pull rods are stained dowel rods and would require a hole drilled through the layout at the center of the turnout or under the head ties where the ground throw would be located........When the operator pulls or pushes the dowel rod the switch is thrown. Resistance to hold the turnout in place is a small rubber o-ring placed on the fascia where the dowel comes out.
Todd:
I do need a turnout or two and a code 100 to 83 transition track
Jeff: That's terrific news about the healing in your foot! Let's hope the whole thing can close up now. I guess the vacuum thing really helped. I forgot to say, until your photo of the loco shed you posted with that news reminded me - the track arrangement you used there helped my with getting two locos side by side in an engine shed directly off a turntable. Thanks.
Dick:

I'll let those of you folks who have been around rugby longer than me explain it....brings back too many painful memories, the scum thing! I'm small and fast, so instead of putting me on the wing, "they" shoved me in to be the chap in the middle of the front row who hooks the ball back (I leave to your imagination the name of THAT position!) in the scrum. Result, I was usually at the bottom of the pile every time when the thing collapsed.! I'm not familiar enough with the terms used in American football to translate just what that means. LOL. And "In my day" you just had to jump in a line-out. No-one got lifted up so as to gain a height advantage. Again, I don't really know what happens over here when the ball goes out of play off the side of the field. I haven't really paid that much attention, so I can't translate that one either.
Sawyer is using Peco turnouts
Actually John, I'm using Atlas code 55 turnouts, not peco.
I know the name of that position too, though I'll let folks use their imaginations. Also, my job is to push forward, then when the ball's out run off to wherever it is. usually I end up on the ground as well, lol. As to the lineout, think cheerleaders getting lifted up except you jump and your teammates in front and back grab your shorts and haul you up as you jump.
Hello again! I'm now stuck waiting up for word from my parents... They are flying back from Houston,TX... Their flight was delayed, and they are not sure wether they will get back to philly before the last regional SEPTA train leaves the airport terminal... so they will call me when they land, to tell me wether they need me or not... that won't be until 11:30pm EST! If I have to pick them up, I won't be getting into bed until about an hour before I have to be up to go to work!!! Chloe, may I have a coffee in a GIGANTIC New Hope & Ivyland mug? Gonna need it tonight!!!
Jeff- I'm trying to upgrade the RAM in my HP Pavilion Slimline 3600f (running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2)
I currently have two 1024MB DDR2 SDRAM cards (guessing that means 2GB cause the "properties" portion of "my computer" said that...
The PNY 2 pack 2GB PC2-6400/800MHz DDR2 DIMM memory kit (available from B*st B*y) seems to be the highest RAM upgrade I can find?
The PNY - XLR8 2=pack 1GB PC2-6400 DDR2 DIMM is NVIDIA SLI certified with EPP support
does that make a difference with performance over the 2 2GB cards?
again, I feel like such a techno-infant because I have no idea what any of THAT stuff means.. those are just the upgrades that Beast Bye told me would work with my puter... but they don't explain the differences in the two...
I think (after searching online for a half hour) that HP says that my puter can handle up to 16GB of RAM, but only has 2GB currently...
Please correct me if I wrote something wrong above... my head is spinning with all this info!
Thanks for your help!
Back to trains... I got a bunch of knuckle couplers over the weekend and will start upgrading my rolling stock from horn-hooks tomorrow! yeaaaaayyyyyyy!!! no more turning my "spacer" car everytime I have to perform a runaround move!!!
der5997Dick: BARRY: I didnt know that the last Ice Age had ended yet? LOL What did cause it to end and retreat, sun spot increase? The answer to the "What caused the thaw?" question never seems to come into any discussion of Climate Change by the talking heads, scientist or otherwise in TV land.
