Garry- Actually I am glad. I learned something new. It sounds like the shapes represent grills. What I am talking about is on either side of the upper headlight above the 4 black stripes.

Evening all and Happy New Year!
Hope this finds everyone in good health.
[JP .... Good to see you here in the diner. WS makes good stuff, but I have not worked with that particular product. Good luck making a layout. I suggest doing one small section at a time.] - Garry, the WS Mod-U-Rail system is sets of 3'x3'cornersand straightsthat come w/ all items needed to make a part of a layout, vice rail, building, people and vehicles. They look pretty straight forward. I built one of their Learning Kits a few years ago into a decent 18"x24" module.
Todd - I "there"yet, due to needing $$$$ for Christmas presents for the g/f, her 10yr old daughter, and my whole family, but I plan on it.
Well gang, I'm off to get some desert. Cheesecake.... maybe ice cream. Or wth... both!
Take care!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
Good evening.
Ray ... Thanks for comment
Ken .... Sorry to hear the toe is acting up again. Also, I sure hope the bank gets everything squared away eventually to your satisfaction.
Curt..... Thanks for commenting. I was trying to figure out what triangles you are talking about. Are you seeing the striping next to the upper headlight? Burlington E-units originally had striping on the nose to replicate the front of the shovel nose zephyrs such as the Pioneer Zephyr. The stripes next to the headlight are the "grills" as is on the old shovel nose diesels. That may be what you were talking about. The broad horizontal stripes were supposed to represent the windshields on the older tains. Around 1960, the stripes were changed to red instead of black. One more quirk is the number of horizontal stripes across the front ("windshield"). Early E-units E5's and some early E7's had three stripes, Late E7's, E8's, and E9's had four stripes. ..... Aren't you glad you asked?

Evening All,
Ran some errands, cleaned house and did my laundry today. I also put some small areas of ground cover down on the finished sections of the layout. I also did some staring at the layout trying to figure out what I want to do hill wise. I do think I may order some Rubber Rocks and give them a try.
I got a fantastic gift at work Wednesday. My partner who is also the Daytona Speedway logistics Chief for their FD brought me a Coparts shirt with John Force's (my favorite driver) and Kenny Bernstein's signatures on it. To say I was stunned is to put it mildly.
Garry- That Pennsy Boxcar looks great. I have a couple of them also. The WPF picture looks great but what are the 2 triangular shapes on the front of the E8?
Ken- Hope your work days and big toe have gotten better.
Ulrich- Great tour. I remember going to a huge salt mine that the Germany army used for art storage in WWII. Unfortunately I can not remember whether it was in Austria or Germany .
BamaCSX83- Would shrink tubing work?
Terry- Looking good on the layout.
Galaxy- That verse was on Hee Haw.
Well I am being mobbed by a herd of skunks for their supper, so I hope everyone has a great night and prayers for those in need.
Afternoon Folks
Flo, Pleases.
Got up this morning at 5:30 AM but felt like warmed over death. I was going to go in anyway with being the Opener. Then I came out to the Garage / Snake Room / Train Room / My Offices and looked at my copy of the schedule. Tyler was all so opening the store, so I called him and told him I would not be in work today. My days of going in sick is over! I uses to go in when I had a fever 100.8, but I was a manager. Now I am just another brick in the wall so screw that!
VA Hospital Visit. While I was feeling badly this morning, main reason I called in sick was because I did not like the way my toe looked! It has been swollen for a week or so, starting to turn red and a blackish band was starting to form. I would have went in yesterday but I felt worse Thursday than I did today.
I was surprised when both the Nurses and the Doctor told me it did not look that bad? (but it is not there toe either) Doctor said the Ulcer Tissue it self look great! He seems to thing the redness is due to my nail fugues problem. He got me a antibiotic that will help with the infection and head cold. He also said to soak my feet in Epson Salt, that may help kill the toe nail fugues.
Flo, may I have the Soap Box Pleases?
BoS Rant!
There is a very good reason I call them Bank Of Stupid and not Bank of America! Today when I got home, on my door step there was not 1 but 2 FedEx packages from BoS. Both had the same paper work for filing for a Loan Modification! It is all the same paperwork I filed right before Thanks Giving! Then it gets better, about a hour latter I hear a knock on the door! Looked outside and it is FedEx again! Want too guess what they where delivering? Yet a 3rd copy of the same paper work?
Way I have came to look at it, the longer they screw up (and they excel at that) longer I get to keep the houses! It is just sad, a single swipe of a pen this Loan Modification nightmare could be over! I could afford the $600.00 house payment if the did the modification but no way in heck can I swing the current $998.63 payment. What do they have to lose? It is a VA Home Loan and I have only lived here for 21 years now?
See you all later!

OK Now I Am Really PO- ed! Photo Bucket Has High Jacked My Account Again!
Afternoon folks!
Chloe a cup of hot chocolate with a daube of fresh whipped cream on it would do very nicely rioght now.
Looking good Garry!
Ulrich.... Took you all these many years to figure out the concept??? BTW, I'm saving room for some of those desserts tonight! Yummy...
I've been out running errands, doing some shopping (new sneakers), stopped down at church and some other places to drop off flyers for the MLK Service later this month, and finally got a huge amount of snow off the rooftop panels. They are now about half cleared off. The sun came out for a bit this afternoon and the system almost turned on... The light was flashing waiting for it to start producing power most of the day. It did produce enough heat to help me get about 9 inches of heavy wet snow unstuck from the panels and dropped on the deck. Tomorrow is going to be a mix of stuff, flurries, clouds, and occasional brightness. Maybe they will come back on line sometime tomorrow. "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love you , Tomorrow, your always a day away!....
Still have a bunch of things I have to do today, so I best keep moving.
Later!

Hello everybody ....
Ulrich ..... Thanks for the photo tour. The food looks very tasty!
Jerry ..... Prayers continue for Sallie.
Curt ...... I thought you would like this Pennsy box car I have just completed. It is made from a Branchline kit.
Another just completed model is a Burlington "economy baggae car". It was made from a kit made by an on-line seller of Burlington stuff called Q Connection. It is the bagge car immediately behind the E8. The second baggage car is one I kitbashed from a Rivarossi baggage car a couple of years ago.

Good Morning all,
Ray, our big ice breaker is named the CGC Mackinaw and they have a “big turtle” award they give to those that serve on the ship. We use to have a series of Cutters named after Indian Tribes.
Our weather forecast just changed: 40 mph winds 1-6” of snow, weekend high of 34F. Right now with the wind chill it’s 14F outside.

Currently 32°F under dark cloudy gray skies here in the Finger Lakes. Winds are WSW @ 28mph with gust up to 40 mph. could get a few snow showers followed by some snow flurries today.... I keep hoping I have enough of the white stuff cleared from the roof to get the system to fire up and start to melt what is left. Not happy to lose over a week of production from it just because I can't get enough white stuff off the roof now. next week Tuesday through Saturday is supposed to be above freezing with a bit of brightness from time to time, so it should start to produce again then if not before.

Good morning. It's a nice balmy 40° with 81% humidity. It'll be cloudy with a small chance of rain. The high will be a blazing 50°.Nothing much planned for today. Work on the layout, watch some TV, wonder what those in better circumstances are doing. In other words pretty much a normal day.
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and Strudel please. Thanks. NO! WAIT! STOP!!! Oh my gosh…..I have to have that Toffelspit thing and kar, karfiol and kar-toe-fell-n. Oh baby and that Palatschinken has GOT to show up on my dessert plate!!!
Don’t think I’d want to live here…., everything’s too hard to spell. But man-o-man could I eat here!
Sunny, with a high near 33. Wind chill values between 5 and 15. Looks like we’ll be hitting the mid to upper thirties and then into the 40’s through next week. Odd. Two reeeeally mild winters in a row. At least so far. I just hope we get some rain to amount to something this time. So far…..not looking good.
What is that noise? Oh Duke and Ray.
Glad you’re feeling better Ray.
Ulrich- Every country and town has it’s areas, I just know that most all of the folks that went to Germany came back saying it was beautiful and clean. Cleanest country they had been to.
Dennis- I feel your pain….I feel your pain. Master bedroom is next at our house too.
Lee- That’ll work. Just spread it around if you would. Um... Snow that is.
Terry- I like that building on the right. It is a very good likeness to the old Ben Franklin 5 and Dime in Pittsfield. But alas I have no use for it in Toddland (of which I’m king).
I have a problem with liking or wanting a model that does not fit the layout but just looks cool to me. Maybe I’ll just get one and build it just for kicks. Who knows. Nah, that’d take money I could spend on something I need.
Well yesterday saw some laundry done and it also saw the relocation of some trash from the trainroom to dumpster at the elevator. A few thousand more trips and I’ll be pretty close to almost done. What didn’t get done was the light. Maybe today.
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!!

Jerry I hope Sallie is doing ok today…
Vincent, if you have a Harbor Freight Tools (HFT), or go visit their web site. I went and looked at airbrush compressors with water separators at Pat Catan’s and they were $400. I went to a store that sold makeup and tattoo equipment and they wanted $400 to $1K for a compressor. I went to HFT and bought the exact same compressor with water separator for $40. Super quiet. The only difference is the name brand sticker on the side of the compressor. If you spend $80 at HFT you can get the compressor, water separator, and a single stage air brush. Great start up kit for the beginner, the compressor is super great for any skill level.
Harbor freight also sells some fine modeling tools….
Tom, I have a few Union hoppers on my layout, not that they really had their own hoppers, but it blends in with my railroads of the Great Lakes theme. All but one or 2 locomotives are LS&W, but the cars are from a variety of Great Lakes railroads pre 1959. I guess I need to look closer at PA and see what they had to interchange with my Buffalo to Chicago freelance line….

Lunchtime!
I just had a too generous serving of Petra´s lasagna and need to go for a rest. Befoe retiring to the sofa for a nap, I thought I´d post a map of Austria, showing our itinerary.
As of now, we have made it to Linz, but will be leaving the Danube Valley soon and head for the mountains. Tomorrow will be a day off for the tour guide, so you can explore Salzburg on your own.
Just a few words on Salzburg.
Salzburg, literally: "Salt Castle", is the fourth-largest city in Austria and the capital of the federal state of Salzburg. Salzburg's "Old Town" (Altstadt) has internationally renowned baroque architecture and one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Host to three universities and a large population of students, Salzburg is is noted for its attractive setting and scenic Alpine backdrop. Salzburg was the birthplace of 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the mid‑20th century, the city was the setting for parts of the musical and film The Sound of Music.
Traces of human settlements have been found in the area dating to the Neolithic Age. The first settlements at Salzburg were apparently begun by the Celts around the 5th century BC. Around 15 BC the separate settlements were merged into one city by the Roman Empire. At this time the city was called Juvavum and was awarded the status of a Roman municipium in 45 AD. Juvavum developed into an important town of the Roman province of Noricum. After the collapse of the Norican frontier, Juvavum declined so sharply that by the late 7th century it had become a "near ruin". The Life of Saint Rupert credits the 8th-century saint with the city's rebirth. When Theodo of Bavaria asked Rupert to become bishop c. 700, Rupert reconnoitered the river for the site of his basilica. Rupert chose Juvavum, ordained priests, and annexed the manor Piding. Rupert named the city "Salzburg". He traveled to evangelise among pagans. The name Salzburg means "Salt Castle". It derives its name from the barges' carrying salt on the Salzach River, which were subject to a toll in the 8th century, as was customary for many communities and cities on European rivers. The Festung Hohensalzburg, the city's fortress, was built in 1077 and expanded during the following centuries.
The entire city is filled with M&M´s, and that´s not the candy we all like, but Mozart & Music.
Salzburg is also one of the very few cities in the world, that still sports a network of trolley buses.
Enjoy the city´s unique atmosphere, the music and the food!
Morning Coffee in the diner with friends..
Today is Friday, January 4th, 2013!!!
Sometimes, iN MRR, when trying to complete a task, we may be 'barking up the wrong tree', SO:
Meaning:
Making a mistake or a false assumption in something you are trying to achieve
Origin:
The allusion is to hunting dogs barking at the bottom of trees where they mistakenly think their quarry is hiding.
The earliest known printed citation is in James Kirke Paulding's Westward Ho!, 1832:
"Here he made a note in his book, and I begun to smoke him for one of those fellows that drive a sort of a trade of making books about old Kentuck and the western country: so I thought I'd set him barking up the wrong tree a little, and I told him some stories that were enough to set the Mississippi a-fire; but he put them all down in his book."
The phrase must have caught on in the USA quickly after Hall's book. It appeared in several American newspapers throughout the 1830s; for example, this piece from the Gettysburg newspaper The Adams Sentinel, March 1834:
"Gineral you are barkin' up the wrong tree this time, for I jest see that rackoon jump to the next tree, and afore this he is a mile off in the woods. For Some guys, MRRing is a 'Blast From the Past' when they pick a particular era or RR to model, SO: Meaning: Something or someone that returns after a period of obscurity or absence. It is normally applied to things that that were thought fondly of previously and are making a welcome return - especially pop songs. Origin: Used first by US radio DJs when introducing old records. It isn't clear which DJ coined this, and no one lays especial claim to it. A strong contender has to be Jerry Blavat ('The Geator with the Heater'). Blavat's style was frantic and he was known for his impromptu 'stream of consciousness' verbal delivery. Here's an example from an article about him in 'The Progress', a Pennsylvania newspaper, from 1967: "Kings and queens, yon [sic] royal teens, this is your Geator with the Heater coming to you on Big-Tahm Tuesday where we rock the big tick- tock, where we got the class to beat the blast from the past" The article began with a dictionary of 'handy translations, straight from The Geator', including: Groove, blast - great Golden Oldies - old rock 'n roll songs The prayer candles will be lit for those in need of thoughts and prayers, in need of healing thoughts, adn for those whose loved ones may have just passed on {as long as I am home} Make it a great day and Smile at your adversary {it will make them wonder what you are up to!}

Ulrich, I'm enjoying the tour of Austria so far.
In weather news here, Tasmania which normally has a summer average of 20c (68f) Today they reached 42c (107f) an all time record high for the state. In Western Queensland (the state I live in) it reached 48c (118f) and it's going to get hotter next week. The highest temperature recorded in Australia was 51c (123f)
The way the heat wave is going it will be broken. The high heat and high and dry winds are creating alot of wild fires, in South Australia and Tasmania there is a warning for catastrophic fires which indicate death or serious injury is very likely. We have seen many homes already lost.
After 3 years of flooding rains we are now moving back into extreme drought. You would think it would take longer than 12 months for the ground to dry up, but no.
We badly need some rain otherwise we will have many fires.
In good news, I bought more lumber today to continue the building of the layout to the rough layout I posted a couple of days ago. I will be getting started on that sunday.
Off to run a few errands, TTFN

Good Morning!
Hurry up, guys & gals, we have a train to catch!
Today, our journey through Austria will take us back to St. Poelten, this time riding one of the modern EMU´s of that line.
Quite a show for a 2 1/2 ft. narrow gauge line!
In St. Poelten, we will change trains to head for LA - that´s Linz in Austria, not, what you just thought
Linz is the third-largest city of Austria and capital of the state of Upper Austria (German: Oberösterreich). It is located in the north centre of Austria, approximately 30 km (19 mi) south of the Czech border, on both sides of the river Danube. The population of the city is 191,107, and that of the Greater Linz conurbation is about 271,000.
The city was founded by the Romans, who called it Lentia. The name Linz was first recorded in AD 799. It was a provincial and local government city of the Holy Roman Empire, and an important trading point connecting several routes, on either side of the river Danube from the East to the West and Bohemia and Poland from north to the Balkans and Italy to the south. Being the city where the Habsburg Emperor Friedrich III spent his last years, it was, for a short period of time, the most important city in the empire. It lost its status to Vienna and Prague after the death of the Emperor in 1493.
One important inhabitant of the city was Johannes Kepler, who spent several years of his life in the city teaching mathematics. He discovered, on 15 May 1618, the distance-cubed-over-time-squared — or 'third' — law of planetary motion. The local public university, Johannes Kepler University, is named after him.
Another famous citizen was Anton Bruckner, who spent the years between 1855 and 1868 working as a local composer and church organist in the city. The Brucknerhaus is named after him.
Upon arrival, we will enjoy a ride on Linzer Lokalbahn to Neumarkt, arrival there in time for lunch.
Back in Linz in the early afternoon, we will take a walk through the city to Pöstlingbergbahn station and ride up the Pöstlingberg. Though the line has been thoroughly modernized in recent years, we are lucky to catch one of the old electric cars.
A short visit to the church up there and than back to Linz.
It´s not that late in the day, so we decide to proceed to Salzburg, where we will spend a full day.
Have a nice day!
I think my model railroading purchase(s) next month will consist of a DB steam locomotive, and some passenger and freight cars.
Good Morning! from Tipton IN.

Bill Tidler Jr.
Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Evenin' folks,
Janie, just a cup of decaf for me at the moment, please and thank you!
Currently 28°F with a low overnight of 24°. About average for this time of year around here. Would be nice if we could get a few sunny day though...
I spent an hour and a half "raking" snow off the panels. Snow is now compacted and doesn't want to loosen up easily, and w*rking on it from 24' away is not an easy thing to do. I have some muscles I haven't thought about recently. The Rake does work and will be great to get snow off the panels within a day of the snow falling I think. No sun at all today. Dark, gray and dreary outside. The system never started up again.
Oh, I made the front page of the Finger Lakes Crimes (Times), I did... Wasn't even in Police Beat! I was one of two residents here that have installed Photovoltaic Panels mentioned as liking the panels and that they are reducing Electric bills for us... It was an article mostly about the wind turbines at Sotos International here in Geneva. It explained how they work, why there may be only one of the two running and sometime both shut down. The turbines are producing all of the electric needs for the factory and the excess is sold to NYSEG. However NYSEG will only buy so much per time period and so they space out the power to keep from having to deal with a situation where they are over quota for the month. The turbines are producing more power than they were rated at. Nice! I think this article is a follow up to a Florida Green Energy Company relocating to here in Geneva.
Ran a few errands around town this afternoon, and have sorted medical receipts and notices into piles for putting listing in my tax spreadsheet. Also started to collect all the information for the program for the MLK Service on the 21st. Did walk through the train room on my way to start a load of wash earlier this evening..... That's it for trains today.
Hope all of you have a great night! Prayers for all in need!
Good Evening
A nice dull snowy day was had by us today....cccold and windy as well...sigh
I've manged to find another box of reports that needed distilling as well...grand total....4 boxes...
Spent the day at the office getting some stuff sorted out and ready for the grand project..and seeing whether or not my new office computer was going to work with some older software....which it did...phew....
