Just poor little me again, painful and sleepless ...
Zoe, a glass of hot milk with a spoonful of honey in it, thank you.
$ 3,15 a gallon of gas? (gets out a pocket calculator and starts to make a long calculation) - hey, that´s cheap! We´re at $ 7,50 right now - how´s that?
Gotta catch some sleep now

(Comes in, stomps snow off feet, and slams the door behind him......)
Evenin' folks!
Snowin' pretty good out there in central/western, NY this afternoon and evening! Something we often call a Blizzard! You Southern guys may not know about them. Bliazards are things that most people try to drive through going quite slow so you will be able to stop in about 3 times the length of what you can see out there.... But, about 10% of the drivers (particularly those with the very big 4 wheel drive vehicles who think a 4 wheel drive can stop really quick.....) figure they should be driving 70 or 80 in down the 65MPH Thruway even with nice slippery, greasy, icy pavement.... Always fun to see the big double trailer semis sliding down the highway somewhat sideways with all those 4 wheel drive types about 5 foot off their bumpers totally ticked off at all those idiots driving sensibly.... The 55 minute drive from RIT to my house took well over an hour and a half. The most fun was the back country roads from the Thruway to my house. I was able to make 20 mph at times!
Flo how about a big bowl of beef stew and dumplings and a very big hot cup of decaf for me?
Long day at RIT. Almost nobody there today. Probably weather was a big factor. Did get to talk with several of my members who were there with other groups.
OK, need to get to the back booth and relax. Hopefully the blood pressure will come back down and the cramps in my fingers from holding the wheel so tight will go away!
High gas prices??? We got em here too! I'll have you know It cost me $24 to fill up my Yaris yesterday. What a big shock, especially since the tank was almost 1/4 full!!!
May put up a couple photos of the show later.

Afternoon folks.
So the dinner been dead lately, whole board seems that way today.
Morgan I did double check the yard, and one is 17.8. But all my cars and engines will take a 18 inch turn. Besides it is more for storage than anything.
Kind of down in the dump again today, again no good reason. Played with the track plan some and could not come up with any good ideas. Started making 60 inch tall helix's just because I was bored and stumped.
See you all later.
Ken
I hate Rust
I was just running my Genset and all the sudden it just died. Stopped moving. Lights stayed on. No smoke, but it really STINKS.
I have NO clue what's going on.
I started a thread over in the electronics forum: http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/183501.aspx

I won't be able to afford to go anywhere soon if this keeps up. Ain't that the truth! On the other hand the gov't types will know exactly where we are.

We are now paying an average of 4.27cdn for our gas---funny thing this--Canadian dollar goes up in value--we pay more---it goes down we pay more--we pay more regardless...
Welb, I went out twice today to plow out the driveway--and we are STILL seeing more coming down--tonight--12" expected---tomorrow--another 12" expected---tomorrow night---and yet again--another 12" expected--we do seem to be buried in it this year----oh gee--it let up a little ---maybe I'll go out and do some more plowing with the 4X4----

Hey guys, nice change of climate right now.
About to go out riding in more snow, every time I come in, my back is white and my quad (Black frame and yellow plastics) is white and brown from dirt. Who said that you can't have dirt in winter, might not be a good thing that I rode sideways so much that I dug up dirt. Completely spun out yesterday 3 times. Keep in the throttle and it will straighten itself out. Didn't feel like it was even going to flip. Just had the back end slip out too far to get back in line, but it was fun. think there was ice under the snow where I spun out. It was in the same area. Aw well.
Big bowl of chili for me, thanks.

When in doubt. grab a hammer.
If it moves and isn't supposed to, get a hammer
If it doesn't move and is supposed to, get a hammer
If it's broken, get a hammer
If it can't be fixed with a hammer... DUCK TAPE!
Afternoon all. Day of homework for me, ew.
Ulrich, ouch. Back in lacrosse season, I was crosschecked (which is completely illegal...) in the ribs. Hurt sooooo much... Nothing broken, just bruised. But it was still pretty bad.
Galaxy, I know exactly what you mean on those stupid NIMBYs and BANANAs. Reminds me of the article they had in Trains Mag back in the summer. One guy actually said "The trains are dangerous because my son could be walking along the tracks with his iPod on and not hear the train coming."ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Well, apparently my parents waited too long to order the Santa Train tickets, and now it's sold out. So we're gonna have to look at alternatives. Maybe the Whippany train would be possible. It would be neat to get to ride in a restored Slider (low-door ex-EL Comet I)
Well, I better get back to the homework. Catch ya later!
What? no one in here in 3 1/2 hours???
I sit all by my lonesome?
Sheesh.
now watch someone wander i while I type this worthless bit of fluff!
Got the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded and the kitchen all cleaned up.
GOt one load of laundry done and dried and all. May do another small load.
Now I think time for a nap to rest my back...
this falls under the category of "some people'. we have a small local weekly paper that has a "Readers column section" where by people-anyone- can call in or write in and make any comment {censored out for foul content of course} they want. One person has written or called in to say:
"I believe it has been so windy lately because of the giant windmills they have out in Western NY along Route 17{I-86}. I know those windmills create a lot of wind from the turning of the blades. It has been really windy here since they have installed them. Something to think about as people try to install them around here. Can we really afford more wind?"
Please note: said windmills are hundreds of miles away. Obviously this person does not know that the turbines turn BECAUSE of the wind, NOT MAKE the wind. Also this person acts like we never had any winter winds before!{or summer for that matter} The westerlies have blown for hundreds of years here. I will take wind power over fricking {Hydro} Fracking that destroys the environment and pollutes water any day!!!!!
HAve agreat evening
-G .
Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.
HO and N Scale.
After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Good morning
Snow seems to be a recurring theme here.
We haa dusting -1 inch yesterday and dusting-1 inch today. All from lake effect "drift off".
Oh, well, we could be worse like some of you are! Won't complain here.
I should go to lowes and buy the new train board. FOr under the tree. MAybe I will.MAybe I do it tomorrow.
Need to clean off the table where the layout will go first!
WEll not much to reprt today.
HAve agreat day!
Good "snowy" morning.
We are suppose to get 1-2 today and some more the next few days.
Not much planned today. Work on the layout some, and watch the Steelers tonight.
Hope everybody has a good morning.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Welb,
I got up to yet another 6" of snow on top of the 10" we got yesterday---now they are forecasting up to another foot of s**w today with another foot tonight and yet again another foot tomorrow as well!!
So I guess i'll be living with the snow shovel and the snow blower for awhile here---*sigh*
Sir Madog Lunchtime! My pain is getting worse - I´ll probably will go to our hospital, as it is beyond the stage I´d like to bear. Ken - I am glad you are not mad at me - I just like to tickle your interest in thriving for further improvements. I always have difficulties "reading" track plans, when there are only lines - that´s why I take so much trouble to "scenic" them. Chloe - nothing for me this time, if you please excuse!

Madog's right too, it helps alot to be able to see more of the layout than just track, even in a mind's eye.
Ken: I knew something was nagging at me at that Staging yard. Recheck the rdius on the turnback loop: it's only 18" radius. Is that enough to walk trains around? Namely the Passenger train, but others as well?
-Morgan
Mourning Folks
Flo, Diet Dew please.
Up at 3:30 AM again I have just got in the habit of going to sleep way earlier than I should.
John Do you have the plans for your layout that could be posted? While I do like this, I am all wise open to stealing, I mean borrowing someone else ideas. Glad I was able to help with the NCE decoder trade in. The NCE decoders work way better than the Digitrax decoders in Athearn RTR engines.
Ray I really like the plan, but this was only the second draft. There are still things that can be made better.
Ulrich Far as scenery, I thought there was pretty good room for some on the layout. While I like scenery, my main goal is to watch the trains.
Far as purpose of the layout, mainly to watch the trains. But, I can run coal to the power plant. Pick up Grain form the Elevator and take it to the Bakery or Brewery which ever I make it.
Yep, lot sharper turns, but I had to compromise. The Grain Elevator has 20 inch where it turns around, 22 leading in from the top, 40 from the bottom. Where the bridge passes over on the right side by the lift out is 24 inch. Rails to the power plant are 18, but that will be fine for 3 bay hoppers and my switch engine.
Far as being yelled at, never from me! You are a friend, and friends do not get mad at each other for speaking there mind.
Good Morning ! from Tipton IN.

Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Good Morning,
I managed to get some three hours of sleep last - not enough! I woke up with my ribs hurting like mad. I guess one of them is not only cracked any longer
Zoe, I need my coffee in a IV bag, please!
Ray - I am worried about these spells. I´ll have that checked up in January, as that is the earliest date I could make an appointment to have the docs make a ct.
John - the character I use for my avatar comes from a children´s TV series of the 1970´s, which was very popular, not only among children. It is called an "Urmel" - the missing link between man and dinosaur. Despite its rather odd look, Urmel (the last of its kind) has a charming character and has won the hearts of quite a few generations of children and their parents.
Ken - at the risk of being yelled at, I have a little difficulty finding out what the purpose of this layout is, other than watching trains run. There is a lot of track which you won´t be using and it will be more than challenging to adapt the scenery. Some of the curves appear to be a lot sharper than your 32" minimum requirement. Unfortunately, building a layout does not (or cannot) follow the way Mother Nature has done it with putting scenery in first and than lay the track, but it is always a good idea to plan a layout with scenery in mind. Sorry for being so persistent in that respect
- ouch! Thank you, Vinnie for reminding me to be nice in this place.
I have reworked Pascal´s plan, so it now fits in to his locale. The plan has lost some of its elegance, but still is an improvement over his original idea.
I have posted some pictures of his layout in this week´s WPF, but here is one for those who don´t visit that thread:
Blessings to all of you and to those in need.
*comes in panting* Finally found the place
Internet has been out for the past few days. the USB wireless adaptor for the computer broke. so no internet for the past few days.
Past few days have been intresting to say the least. For starters, the AC condensor on my car grenaded. I was driving home from the gym with my dad, when we come to the light near the house. I noticed a strange smell and asked if that was the clutch (mines probably the orignal, with over 212K miles on it). My father said it smelled like brakes. Drive it about 1/4 mile and notice sparks coming out of the drivers side. I got a bit worried and nursed it the the last couple hundred feet to the house. Popped the hood immediately and when I got into the driveway. He jumped (that's the fastest I've seen a 50 year old guy run before) out and motioned me to turn it off. I did then got out and looked. Aside from the smoke, the pulley and faceplate of the AC condensor were glowing red. I knew the car was out of freon (expensive stuff for something with free in the name) so I figured the AC condensor relay is bad. found out it had been jumpered... SO a little piece of wire is gonna cost me close to $250 to fix... at least it's winter and I won't need it for a while (heck, it might snow next week). Wonder if there is a belt that will allow me to bypass it?
I gotta run down to autozone tomorrow to pick up some new spark plug cables. the accel ones on the car keep breaking when I try to get them off. I'm changing the spark plugs cause I don't think they were ever changed. They didn't carry anything but accel. I had them order a set of Bosch ones for me.
Also have some second degree burns on my right arm from more work related stuff (hot pans). It didn't blister unitl I was working out the next day. It doesn't hurt to bad, just tingles a bit when I stretch that area or have it on anything.
also went to a small train show. picked up an athearn BB CB&Q 40' box, 2 65 cobras, an older mercedes van, and a 70 alfa rameo spider for $10.
Ken, I've been doing that one for a while. I have a bunch of fried decoders that I'm gonna be sending there way.
NERM, welcome to the club of not believing in global warming.
Jeff, the new bachmann stuff looks pretty decent.
Flashwave, the only thing I order from amazon is books. I've though about maybe buying trains through them uising my student thing. but I've always found better prices elsewhere.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
der5997 Todd: Doctor told my Mom yesterday she could no longer live alone. She will be moving in with us. She’s not Nursing ome, aka Stalag, material yet. …Kris’ mom has her “Ganny Annex” as the Brits delightfully call it, in our home. Her mobility is increasingly the issue – and we know that a “Cursing Gnome” –especially the food at our local one - would likely kill her; and I mean that literally. Our home doesn’t have the structural space to widen the doorways so a wheel chair can easily pass. She’s not a large lady – and I’m wondering if wheel chair makers do “cut down” versions that are narrow enough to go through standard doorways. Any-one any news about that? Morgan: There's a Garfield comic I want to put here, but I can't find it. You rang?
Doctor told my Mom yesterday she could no longer live alone. She will be moving in with us. She’s not Nursing ome, aka Stalag, material yet.

Hee hee. Yeah, him. One I wanted was printed three years I think back. Went to the lines of
"Enjoying the Fireplace Garfield?" "Yep." "Kinda makes me wish we had a fireplace there..."
"Yep." "Kinda makes me wish we had a fireplace there..."
You guys couldn't be more right aboutt he Cursing Gnomes. Went through that with Grandma. OIf you have one though, and the lady in question for either yorself or Todd, is of the minset to do it, you might look at Retirement Homes. We have one near hear called The Hearth (sits abpout 300ft from the tracks that feed into the West End of the Big Four yards in Avon, which are themselves less than 2 miles away) that is essetially assisted living apartments. There's even a kitchn in the apartment, so the person can be as independent as they want, or there's a common Dining Hall for those who can't/Don't want to. The Nurses are not (cannot be) intrusive, to the point that taking the medication even is up to the person, but are on hand if they are needed. It's not a bad setup as long as the person can shake the midset that it's a nursing home. It's really not. Grandma couldn't but a friend of hers could, and is now happily inanther one but very similar.

Yo9u poor, poor people. Though you should probably be glad it's a handcar and not a Pole car. Sure, their great for going Downhill, but Downhill over the Sierras tends to be a lot easier when your brake doesn't consist of an 12' *SNAP* ah, 10 fo *SNAP* well, a wooden stick...
Now, I've had to take her down for 15yr, (And by that I mean a good 4 ich jolt shot out of the engine and tried to get to the screw on my glasses before she stopped running completely...) but someone grabbed a nice shot of my Chariot of Fire coming to me: (not my picture)
With her out of play, I'm using more and more this guy:
Evening all.
My day at NJIT yesterday was pretty good. About half was interesting, and I slept (well, I wanted to!) through the other half.
Well, we lost our first game 9-0. Luckily, we got to finish the game, barely. Monday's game shouldn't be quite as bad. They lost to the team we beat two weeks ago, so it shouldn't be too difficult, but I won't want to jynx it...
Well, it's getting late, and I have a long day of homework ahead of me tomorrow, so I better get out of here. Later!
der5997 Jeff:I'm curious about the twin decoders in the newly arrived GP 38-2. (Not that I’m planning such in N Scale!) Do you have to program separate addresses? I’m assuming so. In that case, do you consist them? I’m guessing yes, if the Bachmann one has no motor leads, and the Digitrax no light leads. Great looking tree BTW Is it different from last years’?

DER JOHN: Invacare makes wheelchairs THAT are lightweight, easy to maintain, and have seat widths starting at 16". I oughta know, I sold 'em, delivered 'em, maintained 'em, and adjusted them back in my "A-1 Home Healthcare Center" days. I'd say measure the "must pass through" doorways and consult your local Durable Medical Equipment/Home Healthcare dealer. One nice thing about Invacare, the wheels can be set higher or lower, very easily, for a perfect fit. The bastages sell the footrests seperately however. I found them extremely easy to w**k on, when needed (mostly the rental fleet which was used heavily/abused frequently); and very easy to clean.
Too much else going on in the Diner to comment on. and too tired to do so, so will say "best wishes continue for those in need," and have me a seat at the RC.

Good late Saturday night Diners! A hot chocolate for me please.
(by Ray Dec 3) Tomorrow looks to be another busy day of non RR related stuff...
Ken:
(by Ulrich) Hidden staging facilities need to be carefully built, as the limited access will give you the fits when you want to put anything back on the rails. The minimum clearance should be no less than 4", requiring an approach of about 17 ft of track at a 2 % grade, which you should not exceed.
I see you’ve moved on, WAY on from there by now! The plan on page 4 (had only read that far to this point -) If you continue the curve at the bottom of the left hand wall a bit more, you could bring the yard away from the wall at that end. Could that make a visually more interesting run along that long wall? As to the rest, you just keep rollin’ along! This latest is way less crowded looking than some of the earlier ones. That’s a great tip about the NCE decoder swaps. I didn’t know that they took other than NCE decoders!
Todd:
CNCharlie: Good to see you in from the ‘Peg. Our TV nightly weather guessers do a cross country synopsis before telling about our expected miseries – so I often think about you and Johnboy, as well as friends we have out on Vancouver Island, and in the Edmonton area. (In fact my MIL watches the Edmonton news every night!)
Galaxy: Good to know you like the cold!
(Dec 2) Yep, I says, they's up to sumptin' 'round here. Wunder whot?
(about Rob’s Christmas tree loco) I should say , though I will bet the $40 seemed like a lot more money 20 years ago...

Robby: Like the look of the new layout.
Morgan:
Jeff:
When I plug the cable into the camera Windows sees it as a disk drive and I can download the photos just as quickly as I would from the reader.
Ulrich: Glad to hear that although snowy, you are not in peril! The TV news, as I said to my brother (UK) in his Christmas card today, shows the most dramatic views they can find. We though the whole of the British isles to be buried feet deep. Bro says they had only 1” in Newbury, Berkshire! That Poppy seed cake – are those maple leaves? In any case it looks delicious! BTW, I sent you an ex-Forum email today (Dec 5 ...and got your reply, thnks ) Pity Pascal’s room won’t take the new plan even with the Markin curves. That revision of your version of Ken’s plan looked interesting, and quite a departure from P’s original ideas. I was going to ask about the new avatar – what is it, Godzilla?
Ray:
… and it looks like the roof on the crusher building has warped, so it will need to be replaced.... This time using a plastic compatible glue!
NERM: – just take it real easy over the next few weeks as this time of year is noted for some real hazardous drivers ( and the weather can be grim too)
Looks like I’ve just about caught up in this new locale. I’d better say Goodnight and get this posted. God Bless, and prayers for all in need of Healing, Comfort, Prosperity and Peace.

Evenin' Folks!
Jamie, just a cup of decaf please. I'll be sitting in the back booth by the stove to get warm.
I think it has finally reached THAT time of year here in the Northeast where I may have to turn on the main furnace in the house......... Came home from RIT thos evening and found the dining room (also my old office with the main computer) was all of 65°F. The wood stove has been lit and the house is starting to heat up a few degrees. But any colder outside (currently 26°F) and the little through the wall heater won't be able to keep up..... This is the first cold spell of the season and it is unusually late this year, so I don't feel too bad.
Had a great day at RIT, and it looks like we picked up at least 3 new members in the division! One gentleman who has attended a few of our Meets, came over and said, "OK, I'm ready where do I sign up?" He walked out with both the 6 month Railpass and the regular membership form in his hand... Then two Brothers who are around 20 and have been doing operations at one of our members homes, showed up said they decided it was time to join.... Several others took the info, so it was a good day for us.
Ulrich!!! Cut THAT out! You keep worrying us. I sure hope you don't have one of those episodes while driving..... Hope you get to feeling better very soon! My prayers to you!
Ken, I think you have a winner there! If I had as much room, I would go with the plan in a minute! Hope THAT job comes through for you as well!
The weather people are now predicting snow all day tomorrow. Only 1" to 3", but enough to make some dangerous driving. I worry mostly about the Thruway as people drive 85 or so no matter what the conditions. I did see a couple cars pulled over by the bubblegum machines toady driving to Rochester.......
Welp! Got some other stuff to do!
Later!
Afternoon Folks.
Jeffery Did not make it to the post offices today, Sue was Christmas shopping till around 4:00 PM.
Ulrich Sorry you hurt your ribs again, you need to stop falling down!
Could not sleep last night. I was up at 3:30 AM, poke around on the site. Sue was up and about at 6:00 AM, I hope we sleep tonight.
One of the things that kept waking me up was dreams about coal mining and there yards.How to get a mine and and a two ended yard? Well I came up with this.
Then thanks to Ulrich I was able to make this version.
While it does not have everything I wanted, it does have a lot going for it. This might be the one! Line with all the bridges will be around 4 inches taller where it crosses over the other main's. Still needs some work, but I like it.
See you all later, Ken
Good Evening Folks,
was not up to much today - my ribs are screaming at me as I fell again this morning. Must have been one of those 5 second blackouts which put me down on an icy walkway.
Well, I did play around with Pascal´s track plan, as he does not have the real estate to put it in
- those missing 2 inches can cause a lot of headache, when space is at a premium.
Chloe, just a tall glass of Ed´s OJ for me, please.
Bama - good to see you again! How´s the family doing? I am the guilty one, having moved the Diner to this new place. I remember shouting "All aboard", though - must have been my accent
Gee, I just noticed the avatar I was trying to upload is now displaying - thanks to the Kalmbach IT people!
I hope everyone´s just fine!
*comes staggering in, breathing heavily* All right, all right, next time we move the diner, call for an "all aboard" or something, please! I've been hoboing across country to catch up with y'all. I'll take a RBF, double stacked bacon cheeseburger, cheese fries, and well, a LARGE, LARGE hot fudge sunday. I've been really busy recently, with w*rk and life in general. So far we've been remodelling our store at w*rk which has meant long hours and not to sound mean, good paychecks. I've also been pretty busy shuffling through cars at the shop with everyone leaving for the holidays and all, so yeah, I've been busy.
I've also been doing a little of another hobby of mine, hunting. Went this morning and saw five deer, one doe, a small 4-pt, and three spikes, so unfortunately nothing worth putting a .30-06 into and bringing home to put into the freezer. Welp, time to head into w*rk, thankfully its not a long day for me, only about a 5 hour day, so I'm going to do my best to see y'all when I get back. I'm so so glad to see everyone again.
Greetings from Cactus Country.
Union Pacific line through Tuscan is busy!
I have almost no time for computer.
I'll read your posts later when I can.
Cheers!
