Hello all! Just about noon here in cloudy Alberta but no rain forcast. Haven't had rain for weeks which has made for a great harvest time for the farmers. How's the coffee Flo, need something to warm the chilly body after all that outside Honey Do List stuff!
Thought I'd drop in to show you folks a picture I took back a few years of the Canadian National RR's Hump Yard in Winnipeg MB. I was totally amazed as I sat on a road overpass ad watched the operations going on.
Have a look at this.

Nice toy for your wife! I laugh at all the 4X4's mon the pavement that have never seen gravel, let alone mud
Love the fall colors out your way. I have to go finish my chores now that I'm done with her chores. No rest for the wicked.
Later all
Hello Canadians! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Todd..... Micro Mark sells corrugated plastic sheets, and that might work. Perhaps, it can be made to look ugly with cutting and bending. Warm it up somewhat to bend it. The back side would need a frame of lumber pieces.
Jim CG ... Thanks for the comment. I received no eamils or messages.
Ulrich .... Sorry you had the ER visit, and hope you are okay now. I hope you don't have another major set back. However, you may wish to consider telling Petra to contact us if you will be out of action for a few days. We care about you and Petra as well.
Galxy ... Please let us know how you are.
HAs anybody seen Flip lately? Actually, there is a long list of MIA's.
Cheers

Evening All,
Just finished a supper of pork chops. I think I will skip the coffee since I have not been sleeping very well.
Worked on the container terminal today. Hopefully it will be finished on Friday. Did some stuff around the house but it has been a lazy day for the most part.
Terry- Best wishes for your son's safe return.
Jeff- I always try to get the 1st or 2nd appointment of the day to prevent being backed up.
Garry- Phil has been forwarding Emails to me. I sent him a Email today but he has not responded yet.
Hope everyone has a Good night and prayers for those in need.

Today was a like a box of Road Apples! No matter which one you picked, it was still a Road Apple! Well that pretty much cover's the Work Front. Hum, wonder how many here don't know what a Road Apple is?
Here is a link just in cases

Far as the possible new job, did not here from them but not worried. I was never told they would let me know Monday. I all so know they are working out a new Fleet Deal that has 362 vehicles from Lambert Airport in St Louis. One of the main reason they are looking to hire me. If I have not heard from Bill Wednesday I might give him a call.
Boy I am tired, moving Road Apples is hard work!

Good evening...
Now that I got that out of the way, I can say it actually was a good day here..got to see some people I have not seen in a few YEARS here and we jibber-jabbered about all sorts of stuff...including cleaning out septic tanks.......which a neighbour of ours is having to do sometime this week...think I'll be busy on that day...
Anyhow, Chloe, I'll have a few burger platters with the fixings and all that other fine stuff please..I'll be at the corner booth for bit...
Barry ... Congratulations on your mod assignment. I bet you are done with pie throwing now.
Heartland Division CB&QI bet you are done with pie throwing now.
Barry- Congrats on the moderator job.
jeffrey-wimberly Heartland Division CB&QI bet you are done with pie throwing now. That's what I saw go flying by in the report forum!!!.
I never threw any such pie!!!
Hey guys. YIPE! Who threw that?
Jeff- Congrats on the job.
Well, this is interesting, I just found out a guy I know from grade school and high school broke up with his girlfriend and wants to die. Sorry but he's lucky I'm not near him because I'd slap him upside the head. Maybe it's just my four wheel cowboy logic, but no relationship's worth loosing a life over.
I'll be in the corner booth for a bit.

When in doubt. grab a hammer.

Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Evening guys
ANother busy day, but I did pick up some stuff for MRRing. Some styrene, some athearn mini-bulbs, and some weights. Gonna use the weights on the 6 cars I'm assembling, styrene is for some other way to do the F-unit fuel tanks, and the mini-bulbs are for beacons now that I found a resistor combo that works for them.
Tomorrow I'm gonna put the stuff back in my car, go to another appointment, then the trainclub. maybe I'll squeeze in some MR time. I've been thinking of pulling the sound decoder out of one of my stewart F chassis (i bought 2 with sound/dcc) and stick it in my P2K SD7. Might be a good idea for a temporary set-up. I just have to rig up some pilot pieces for them.
TSF, definately get him a reality check. The last GF that broke up with me, I just told her it's her loss.
Jeff and Barry, congrats on the jobs.
Vincent
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.

I am very much saddened by the news about Stein´s sudden death. He was a great guy, always helpful, yet demanding. His death means a big loss to the community. My condolences go out to his family.
Where is Galaxy? His absence makes me worry!
Y´ all have a good day!

Galaxy!!!! Where are you?!?!?!?
Have a good day!!
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and a Denver omelet please. Thanks.
Garry- I’ll keep that in mind. What I recall is at my FLHS they had some, what appeared or as I recalled, metal corrugated sheet. I mean actual metal. Shiny and all. Looked awful thin and real but could have been plastic.
HOLY MOLY! This place is turnin into a Moderator hang out. Kinda like a cop bar. Just kiddin, just kiddin. Congrats Barry and thanks.
Actually thanks to all the folks who give their time to moderate these forums.
Brenda gave me two options on the floor of the shower yesterday morning.I should have known better, but I go to town to get the material. I came home, laid it out as she described, she came home for lunch and said….”why are you doing it that way? I don’t like that” I said because you said either way would be fine. She said well, now that she sees it, she wants it the other way. OH! Then she comes up with two other ways it could be and it would be alright. I said NO! I’ve gone this route countless times on this remodel, you saying either way whatever I want or like is fine and it’s up to me, and then after trip to town to get the stuff you say you don’t like and it’s back to town and return and re buy (deep inhale) and… I think you’re doing this on purpose. So I'm done. Through. Done. Tell me the way you want it, I’ll tell you why it won’t work until we come up with a way you like that will work. No more decisions on my part. I’m sorry, not really, but (and get this guys. This coming from a woman who just haaaad to have this tile shower even after I reminded her of why she didn’t like the fiberglass shower with the no slip floor, and the grout cleaning nightmare ceramic tile showers are) there is no way I can make the walls meet the floor without a grout line or seam. That’s not the way tile works. I told you that right from the git go. Yes folks that’s her whole thing. She doesn’t want to have to clean a grout line. All this to eliminate a grout line in a floor that is roughly 36”X36” comprised of 1” tile squares that she picked out and now is driving me crazy sending me back and forth into town with a pickup truck full of pieces “to try” and now return, JUST to eliminate one out of a gazillion grout lines because….and I quote….”I know what you’re gonna say but, I really am thinking of having to clean that grout line and I don’t want to if I don’t have to.”
Oh honey. You may know what I’m gonna say, but you have absolutely NOOOOO idea what I’m a wantin to say.
Ya’ll have a good day!!!!

Sir Madog The third night in a row with little to no sleep at all. The moment I leave an upright position I start to cough, barking like an Irish wolfhound. Ever tried sleeping in an upright position? No fun at all ...
I get that a lot. For me, it's post-nasal-drip, not a lung thing at all. You need something to dry up your nose. Here, I take Benadryl or Delsym - not sure what's available to you. A weird alternative is to sleep on your stomach, with a pillow under your chest and another under your forehead, with your face suspended between the two so you can breathe. The mucous doesn't drip on the back of your throat that way, so you don't cough.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Good morning. It's 47° with 99% humidity. It'll be partly cloudy with a high of 78°.Cool outside this morning but still no heater required inside. Nothing special on the agenda today except to stay out of the cool air as much as possible.
Brrrr... A little, no make that very, chilly this morning here in the Burgh. Temperature was in the low thirties with some areas below freezing. I am not ready for this and I haven't even come close to getting all the things on my "Summer List" done.
We went railfanning this past Sunday, but had to sit in the car. It was just too cold to break out the camp chairs and sit outside, which we both really enjoy. But we did see 7 trains in under 2 hours. Four of them were mixed freight which are more enjoyable than intermodals, etc. But don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy anything moving on the rails.
This past week I have been looking around the internet about Budd RDC cars. I was surprised to see that many ran in and about Pittsburgh on a regular schedule starting with the B&O and even including our local transit authority. It was a part of railroading history here that I was completely oblivious to. I will have to look for one at the train show in Timonium at the end of the month to add to my collection. I look forward to this show every year and have had my motel reservations since the beginning of October. I hope nothing comes up to prevent us going this year. That has happened a lot over the years. Last year, the wife fell down 3 steps and blew her leg and ankle apart and we had to cancel. I told her the other day that if she does something like that again this year, she will just have to lay there until I get home.
Hope everybody has a good week and stays safe and healthy. Tom

Morning
Flo, Coffee Pleases.
I was sadden to hear about Steinjr's passing. He sure like to help with layout planning. He will be missed.
Went to bed early last night, guess around 8:00 PM. I was up today at 6:10 AM, way to early if you ask me. Have a little bit of a headache, think it is sines problems. Normally comes on when the weather changes.
Far as sleeping sitting up right Ulrich, I do that a lot. Far as Wolfhound Barking, I know that sound well.
Toe Front It looked pretty darn good yesterday. Wound is heal complete together. Will find out more this coming Thursday when I get to see the Good Surgeon.
See you all later.
Good MidMorning...
Welb..I better be heading off to do dis...have a good one!!!
Hello, everybody!
Ken .... I'm glad you are getting the medical attention you require. Praying you can heel soon.
Todd .... I should have thought of the corrugated stuff you mentioned because I have used it myself. Not recently. Here is a link to Walthers catalog for it.
http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/200-801
PA Tom .... Funny you should mention the B&O RDC. I just received a group of HO trains, and it included an Athearn B&O RDC (rubber band drive). I'm not sure what to do with it because it does not fit in with my layout.
Jeff ... The rusty bridge photo should inspire somebody to weather a bridge on the layout.
Curt ... Say "Hi" to FLip and let him know we would like seeing him here.
There are several other MIA's, too.
Galaxy .... I'm having trouble getting started in the morning without your posts.
TSF ..... I think know is when your friend needs kindness and understanding. Sometimes a broken relationship can be very depressing. If I were you, I would let him know you care about him, and tell him to let you know what you can do.
Terry in the Badger State..... Good to see you. I like the BN photo. I think you said your son was being deployed or something like that last. If so, I hope he is doing fine.
Dennis .... I hope things go okay for you at you job. I would encourage you to stay with the railroad assuming you are getting credits for Railroad Retirement. It pays more than Social Security, and so far, Congress has not raided its trust fund as they did to SS.
Ulrich ... I hope you will be okay now.
Happy Model Railroading.
