GARRY: Present and accounted for sir!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood *yyyyyyyyyyyyyYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAWNNNNNNN!* Evening.
Well (all done dried up and collapsing, I'm sure) this was a busy week, at least from Wednesday onto today (soon to be yesterday) what with State High School Volleyball Tournament action to cover, two Vets Day events, and a new pizza joint to business featureize.
I see the Diner has had a lot of business as usual, and some returnees! Sorry I missed the Vets Day activities here, a belated but most heartfelt "THANK YOU!" to our vets and current personnel!! Personally, I think every day should be "say thank-you to a vet day."
ULRICH: FANDAMNTASTIC!!! A mug of your favorite brew awaits on Rerun's tab...
ROBBY P: Two cars ain't a bad start...I agree, you'll probably get a lot more business tomorrow/today/Sunday... And yup, I'm betting they'll be trying to w**k you down on the price. "Why, you don't REALLLLLLLLLY want to take ALL of these back home now do you???" Like the man said, don't go too low, your w**k stands out, and is worth every penny you are asking.
PC: Welcome back! You mentioned a biker church. I am to set up an interview to do a story on a "cowboy church." Maybe someday somebody will start one for people like me: the non-practicing non-denominationalist. Oh, and I too had to do a double-take about your wife's nice tats...
Well (not to be confused with the septic...), I have to get up early (for a Sunday) in order to drop-off several articles for New Proofreader Dude. Maggie, the Creepy Proofreader Girl is gone...went off to college for a master's degree in museum stuff.
G'night, best wishes to all, special thoughts to those in need.

Good Morning Folks,
thanks for all your congratulations - it sure had helped, that all of you were pulling for me. Things will improve along the line at this end, and Petra and I are happy to have some kind of a future again. There will be no riches to be made in that business, but at least we will be able to cover our bills on our own, and don´t have to panic, if there are some unexpected expenses hitting us. It also means we can go to see my parents a little more often, which I value the most, as they both won´t be with us much longer. Last, but not really the least, I can start construction of my planned D&RGW Montrose Branch layout, which puts a lot of comfort on my burdened soul.
Janie, a Sunday Breakfast Special, please, with plenty of coffee, thank you!
Robby - I am sure you will be selling more cars today! I am in line with the others - don´t reduce your prices to sell them off. They more than just worth every cent your asking for them!
PC - my for your son´s upcoming surgery!
Ken - that layout is coming up nicely - I see where you are going now! Talking about your wife driving you nuts, remember this one " A woman´s soul and the contents of her purse will never be disclosed to a man". Men are from Mars, and women are from Venus - do not even attempt to try to understand her. As long as the "magic triangle" of "You", "I" and "We together" is balanced, you won´t run into problems. The secret of a good marriage is to talk about the problems you would not be having, if you weren´t married It works nicely for us - for over 26 years now.
Have a good Sunday!
Just on my way to bed after a very enjoyable day here with our youngest son. Thought I would take a quick stroll through the Diner to see who might be burning the mid-night oil too, and catch up on the days postings, after we just finished watching "Invictus", with Morgan Freeman.
I am so very delighted to hear that GREAT news from our German Buddy, Ulrich. CONGRATULATIONS my friend, this is just the start of many good things to come. You have persevered, remained passionate, and kept the faith. We all knew that you could do it and prayers have been answered.
Double Root Beer Floats all around, until all the Gang here are served even if it takes a couple of days.

Good early morning.
Its the last day of the show. I plan on giving out more demonstrations, and hope to sell more. I ahree with everybody on the prices. I will work with somebody, but to a point. EXAMPLE...... If a car is $40, I would probably go $30. Not on every car, but certain ones. I will have to wait and see.
We ran out of ones yesterday, and the only place we had to go for some change.....The local casino!! Walked in with $20 to play with, and left with $125. That's not bad for just going to get change. Now if I had that luck at the show.
Morgan..........The cars got here Friday, and thanks again!!!
I will pop back in later tonight and give a run down.
Have a good day guys!!

Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Good Morning,
Well our Indian summer is coming to an end this week; temperatures will plummet back to the 32F-50F marks. The local radio station has been playing Christmas music 24/7 so I’m getting into the spirit of things a little faster this year.
I’m heading out to the N&W train show this morning, figures every time I go to this show it’s cold and raining outside. Ulrich that’s great news on the job! I must admit I missed the post that explains what you will be doing; maybe you can toss me a hint?Robby, sounds like you had a good show so far. Hey shoot me a PM on how much you’re selling that collection of weathering powders for…. Thanks.
Larry, same problem here the door bell hasn’t worked in 10 years and I can’t hear someone knocking on the door.Garry, Ja, it’s the good German cornfield and wheat fields. They are on sale in Walthers for $14 each, and then my Basement LHS gave me an additional $2 off on each.
I think I may have started a fight… I bought a Yellow Box Accurail car from my LHS. The owner’s wife assembled, weathered, installed a metal wheel set and installed Kadee couplers on the car with the idea that they may sell more of the older kits. Then she priced it at $8.99. Yes I bought it and afterwards I felt really guilty about it. I hope she builds more cars….

Mourning AZ
Flo, I would like a BLT and a Diet Dew.
Did not sleep great last night, was sick to my stomach most of the night and had to sleep sitting up. Guess it is time to start taking med's for acid reflux.
Vincent I was planing to get the prices on shipping the Auto Rack Saturday. With running back and forth to Charter and not being able to get on line to get you zip code just ran out of time.
Der 5997 Far as where the Bridges are by the A/C, I could make it work. But I am still going to look at moving them. One of the problems I have with the current layout is if I have a derailment it is in the hardest places to reach. So if I have a problem it will be by the 5 foot wide section by the A/C.
Gary Far as just doing the turns and main areas of the layout and then draw the rest by hand. I have been toying with that idea. Might be time to stop toying and give it a try. It is time consuming trying to keep everything parallel with the RTS.
Morgan Thanks for pointing out the S turn. I would never lay the track that way. But it would be a pain to fix in the program. It is easier to lay flex track than drawing it. Far as splinting up the main, I am open to that.
Ulrich Next few days I will try drawing something by hand so you can use your RTS skill. Mine is sorely lacking what they should be. Using the RTS is eating up a lot of time.
On the current drawing, what I do like.
1 The two passing spurs that are by the A/C unit. One is 163 inch and the longer one is 181. That should hold a 21 car train with 3 F units.
2 Like where the truck lines go under the main lines of the left. I can see that being a nice mountain area.
3 I rank this part only as OK. Section where the 4 lines make a 180 degree turn. Where the one trunk line has the two turnouts at the bottom, I was tying to fit in the grain elevator in there. I can see quickly it is not going to fit right in that area.
What I do not like? Where the mains turn right, just to wiggly for a section that is free standing. Would look better against a wall.
I all so starting to wounder about the round the room compensate. I currently have a fold dog bone and my mains are longer in less room. My shortest main is 72 feet. As where I left off the longest main is 54 feet, I am guessing another 20 feet or so before they drive the Golden Spike so right around 74 feet. My current long main is 97 feet. I will have to decide if the round the room has more advantages than another folded dog bone.
Well wife wants the computer, so I will she you latere.
Ken
I hate Rust
Gary- Deb had hip replacements in '72. Bad blood in one of the 17 pints she needed harmed her liver. The meds she takes affect her stomach and cause itching, and to stop the itching another pill puts her to sleep. Its a catch 22. Not a candidate for a replacement as is allergic to the meds would be needed not to reject new liver.
Robby- Nice display. Those cars are so DIRTY. I wouldn't run them on my pike.
Like the semi. We need GOD in our lives.
Prayers and Blessings for all. Oh,Oh, snow storm in midwest. Hope ya'll stay warm and no loss of 'lectricity.

Morning all
Thanks to those who are putting the MIL on the prayer list. She goes thorugh periods like this and she says she doesn't know if it is her age {83} or if she is really getting sick. But each period sets her back a little further downhill I think. Except for medical appts she HAS to go to, she hasn't been out of the house for about the last 3 years.
fec153 Robby- Nice display. Those cars are so DIRTY. I wouldn't run them on my pike.
Yeah ROBBY-doesn't your railroad believe in WASHING their rolling stock? Good luck hope you sell out today! You have to remember many people A} don't like weathering, B} want to do their own weathering or C} have their own rolling stock they would like weathered, nto necessarily what you have for sale. At leas t you have the powders to help keep you afloat. YOU gambler you! Well. "Hi my name is robby...and I am a gambler..." -see the weekend wasn't a total loss...you gained some money after all!!! Maybe next show you do if you do one you can have seminars on weathering and charge a modest fee for the experience? you know- "bring a car and I'll show you how to weather it" type of thing...
WEll gas up the Kia today and waiting for someone to come claim the old snow blower. Selling it for $50.00 as it hasn't run in over 10 years so it needs oil changed, gas changed out, lubed every moving part etc. It is a 36" path dual stage electric start self propelled monstrosity taht takes up most of the storage shed {10x12}. We will be glad to get it out of there. the guy who is buying it is handy and thats his "business" and can service it and use it if he wants or sell it he could probably get $300 for it easily if in working order.
must do sheets laundry also. cat yuked on the bed last night. TIme for the mattress warmer to go back on and the fuzzy fleece sheets to go on anyway.
WEll, sounds like I am in for an exciting day doesn't it? WANna share my day with me?

Good Morning! Coffee please. Yup Dark Roast thank you. Should be in Church, but I’ve got a few things to get done here this morn then off to Mom’s house then in to see her and diner in town somewhere. Brenda usually chooses as I always say I don’t care. Sounds like our weather here is about the same as Lee’s. I hope she makes a few more too, but back out of the shop next time. Safer. (chuckle) Ken- Changed my mind. I’m not keen on the four track curve at the bottom. Wait. There may be an elevation issue. Are two at a different elevation than the other two? I so, I may like that part again. The rest I still like. I had too many issues with RTS when I was transferring track plan and update ideas to the program as well. I couldn’t get the thing to do what I wanted and, like you said, it was very time consuming for me to do. It would not accept things I was looking at in real life so I decided this won’t show me anything that won’t work any more than a piece of paper and the track on the ground so to speak. Besides, I had an empire to build and this planning thing was…….holdin’ me back! PC- Tell her congrats on the 100 lbs and good luck on the 50. Lose the barbell in the ear too. HEY! Just kidding, just kidding. Like I said I’m not big on piercing. But, I don’t like Picasso either. I think it looks like a second grader got hold of a paintset. HOWEVER I do not feel they should be pulled down so others can’t enjoy his work. Just don’t expect me to brag on the thing. Same with piercings. I must admit when they click the tongue stud ball on their teeth, THAT kinda annoys me. Garry- No, unfortunately any type of take home container is frowned upon heavily. Unless you are my Mother. She wraps a leftover piece of meat or potato in a napkin and shoves it in her purse claiming it's ok because they would just have to throw it away anyway. My question is, if it's ok, then why does she want me to carry her purse out all the time? Robby- Seee? You made money getting change. No need to take a bath on the cars just to sell them. You do not ask tooo much for your work, but you gotta make something.

Good Evening,
a slow day so far. Petra has developed some back pain, so today´s household duties were on me.
Flo, I´ll have a and get the guys whatever they´d like to have!
Lee- should the funding of the venue be granted, I will be the Finance Director of a public TV station. It is an interesting business, completely new to me, so I will use the time until I can start by trying to learn more about it. As I said before, it is not a job to get rich, but it will pay our humble living.
I should be happy, but somehow I am not - and I don´t know why. Maybe it is because it puts in some more miles in between me and my dream of living in a log cabin, somewhere in the US or Canada. Maybe I can´t figure being stuck in this country for the rest of my life.
Well, I´ll be out for the day - see you all tomorrow!
Good afternoon. It's 54 and cloudy. The high will be 61 and mostly cloudy. There's a 50% chance of rain this evening and it's looking like an 80% tomorrow morning.Nothing much happening today. Might work on the layout some later depending on how my back feels. There's still a lot to do.

Evening AZ
Flo, I take a and put it on Ulrich tap please.
Been busy today for not doing a lot. Cleaned up the train room a little so the Charter Tech would not trip over a beer can! All so cleaned up the desk and cleaned up the stereo gear. For $20,000 stereo system I let it get pretty nasty looking. I did say $20 K, that is what it is insured for and would cost to replace it with new equipment. 2 600 watt Mono Block Amps that will run at 2 ohms, you can weld with these suckers.
Did some honey doe's. Fixed the wife's Duck necks (ceramic) and set some mouse traps. Sure glad I did, I saw 2 of the little buggers skipper my when I got the trap out of the utility room. Sure glad Sue did not see them, you think she freaks out when she sees a spider. Two years ago we where over ran with them, she had to start taking Happy Pills till I got them under control.
A plan is starting to take shape!
So far I like this one the best. It still needs work but it is something I like.
OK what I like
1 Has a 124 feet main run.
2 Duck Under / Lift out section would be where crosses the room. Not in front of my desk!
Problems to over come.
1 Going to be hard to fit in 3 more lines
2 No places for a yard yet.
3 No suitable place for town, coal mine, or the grain elevator.
4 No places for bridges where the line's crosses each other.
But, If I tighten up the tuns from 32 to say 28 I might fine the needed room. Plus the high speed mains will still be higher than the trunk line.
Far from being ideal, but it has gotten my blood moving again!
Todd Far as your rule you have listed, I bet you be looking for a wood chipper if you where married to my wife!
See you all Monday
Well, on my way back from the biker church this morning, I found something cool on the hiway.
Well the train show was a BUST!!!! Would I do another one, NO!!! Sold two cars in two days, and just a few packs of powders. I did get a lot of....Oh the cars look great, great job, etc.... That doesn't get me any money thou . Some people told me this show is for the orange box (Lionel). So I tried and I will stick to where I can sell them at.
I did get a few cars while I was at the show, so I can get them ready to sell.
Its been a loooong weekend, and I will pop back in later.
Now that ole boy has a heavy load!
You asked about me (Garry not Gerry),......
Man, I'm sorry........I'm really bad with names in person, and I guess I'm no better on line! You'd think I'd know, after all the times we've talked........
Krump, we like trikes! We've got a few! Your future one would be welcome!
Robby, sorry the show didn't go so hot. Sounds like you we in with more of a "toy train" crowd, rather then a "realistic runner" group. That probably made all the difference.
All, I thank you for adding my son to the prayers list. It makes a differnce ya know!
Evenin' folks!
Flo I'll have a Beef on Weck and a tall glass of Ice tea... What? What is it? Well it's kind of a Western NY thing, you take a Kummelweck Roll and shaved roast beef, add some horesradish. Oh heck, here is the recipe: Beef on Weck
Yep it is one of the reasons I love the Batavia Show.... I always have Beef on Weck for lunch! Goooooooood! It was a good day in a lot of ways in Batavia, Talked to a lot of potential members for the NMRA. I always play a slide show of some of our better layouts in the area and I found a good many people standing in fromnt of our booths with the jaws open and eyes popping out of their heads. THAT, of course gives me a chance to start a conversation on why the NMRA might be a good choice for them. I got the roof on the stone crusher building along with "glass" in the windows. Then I did a bit of weathering to tone down the red paint. It is almost finished. I did not get any photos of it and won't tonight unless I go unload the Yaris and bring the boxes in the house and set up a photo session......
Jeffrey, nice weathering job on that Van!
Well I see "what's his name", you know Paul.... ah..... Carol.... No, ah...... Wait, it'll come to me..... Well (a deep subject) THAT guy who was here with the biker chick earlier..... I see he was here.
Robby, bummer you only sold 2 cars! You should have come up to the Batavia show. A friend of mine was selling off some used "n" scale items. Pocketed $350 in 6 hours. This year up here at least people were spending their money...... Last Spring it was just the opposite and there were a lot of unhappy vendors.
I'll see you all later!

PC .. Don't worry about the name thing. For the layout, I would suggest not tearing it down and starting over. I would suggest igniring most of it, and focussing on a small section of maybe 2' x 6'. Then on that section, do all teh wprk tp make it "done" including structures and scenery. Then you have something to show off.
Robby ... Sorry it was a bust. What will you do with the extra weathering powder?
Ken... Layout plan is looking like it will great.

I'd thought of that too. I'm not for certain that we won't move in the next few years too, so thats a factor. Right now, the layout fills a 10x15 foot room. I don't look forward to moving that. On the other hand, I have a good amount of work already in it, and I'd hate to waste that. It's spaced in such a way that cutting out a small section to keep and start over with wouldn't be easy either. Oh well, I'll figure it out...... Maybe I'll use this as an excuse to switch scales!
Good evening,
I have some progress shots to share with you…..
I still have several things to take care of and details to finish up but here is what I’m working on.

Yes I know a little blurry, battery died for the camera, will replace this picture later.
All I can say is that..........I tried it, and got my feet wet. I will probably get some on eBay tomorrow, and take some to the LHS.
The extra weathering powders will go back to the owner of AIMS. I have about eight big packs left (8 powders), and they were $32. The individual ones ( I have about 30 different colors) were $4.50 or six for $16, and the smaller pack was $6 ( I have 2 sets of A, about 5 of set B, and a bunch of set C). Those were more sample kits but enough to do several cars.
Robby, PM me I might be interested in some of the powders.
Ulrich, very nice, it sounds like an interesting career field.
Larry, I went to the Milan show today. Picked up 50 brass #8 turnouts, 2 warehouses for my port (metal maybe Suydam), some farm wagons, a couple of water towers, and two trucks for the lumber yard. The parking lot was ½ full when I got there at 11.
Lee.........I sent you a PM
