Wow Wee ...... We're in Maui!

Hey, Jeff..... Looks like a colorful 0-4-0 escaped Sundown Shops without patching for L&A and without weathering!  Whistling

Curt ..... We had a prblem with Shelley's car not starting last year, and we needed to replace an expensive computer. I hoope yours is a minor problem.

.Trent .... Good to see you. Don't know where you can find what you are looking for.

Todd ..... Thanks for saying you like the humor. Careful, though. Somebody else might not agree. Whistling

Cheers.

Chamomile tea, please.

***Galaxy, cute little Loco there and a very nice whistle on it as well. Enjoyed seeing the little water tower in action.

Anyone here use DCS and if so, what do you think of it? Been watching vids on youtube and I sure like all the "station sounds" when a passenger train pulls into a station. However, if you can't run DCC locos with a DCS transformer, then it hardly seems practical.Hmm

Found the CA. based outlet for those Garratts, so might give them a call next week.Whistling

Well, exhaustion is setting in, so Good Night All.Sleep

The DCS commander allows you to link a DCC system into it. http://www.mthtrains.com/ho/ho-commander

It's been a long day. Wind yesterday hauled my cable down so it's hanging low over the road. I called Suddenlink about and they said they'd TRY to send someone BEFORE Monday. I hope nobody comes by with a motor home or a high truck before then. Relatives said they'd bring me something to eat from town. That was three hours ago. So far no-show. I'm about to say the heck with it and grab a snack then head for the bed.

Time to call it a night. See y'all sometime tomorrow.

Nice video. I remember seeing the train running back in the 80's. That loco was originally an 0-4-0T.

Welcome! You are probably wondering where we are?

CAn you tell by the Palm trees??? Huh? Huh?

WE are in HAWAII, as requested, where the colds winds DO NOT BLOW!

There ARE tourist trains in Hawaii!

here's a Sugar Plantation Train for your viewing to whet your appetite!: {after the ad, and after the model rolls through is the steamer ANAKA of the Lahaina-Kaanapali & Pacific RR}:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws9h7pP0iyU&feature=player_embedded

There is some history of mostly Sugar Plantation trains in Hawaii's past to transport SUGAR/ CANES around. Now they have had  some  tourist trains running on based on the old lines!!!

AND, as the New York TImes published on January 3rd, 2012,there may, indeed, be begining constrution on a railroad to run around Honolulu and Waikiki and to Leahe, {also known as Diamondhead, the volcano backdrop to Waikiki}!!! They can only hope as the H-interstate highways around Honolulu to outlying areas are crammed! {I can attest to that with a speed limit of 55 you can sometimes be lucky to do 30!} This project was was started In 2007,  when a project was initiated for a new Light Rail Transit (elevated metro) line in the Honolulu area.

We will discuss various railroads in the Hawaiian Islands as we move through February!!!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
