Good Friday evening, Diners!
60f and cloudy.
Wednesday was a great day! Daughter called, #1 grandson was accepted into a prestigeous(sp) gifted and talented St. Paul school for next year.Pretty cool! Then, FB'd with PFC Son. He is in Kyrgistan. His flights out of sandbox were delayed. He leaves Kyrgistan monday early am and will be CONUS at Ft. Bliss that afternoon. Said he'd call when boots on the ground, or soon as possible.
VERY happy Dad here!
That's all for now. Thanks to all of you for your good thoughts and prayers. They DO work.

TOOOOPPPP!!! Have at it, everyone!
Well
listening to Hawai'i Aloha {the official anthem of Hawai'i}
I got 3 packages in the mail today...
1} 2 Hawaiian shirts two kinds, but yet matching, one for MOH and one for me,
2} some other items of clothing I ordered and can't mention
3} A Bachmann EZ Command for MOH's N scale stuff..going DCC now.MOH sees the benefits form my HO scale use of the B EZC so wants one too....someone was kind enough to pass one on...
4} and one big bill to pay...for stuff ordered..in installments of course...
laundered the new clothes after trial fits, both MOH's and mine fit, good thing. I had to order one size up as my regular size came and lo, and behold, too small! will pass those onto train nut friend...he will enjoy them. will re-order for me.decided I will only order the cotton shirts now as the rayons are much "prettier", but also fraught with problems..the cotton ones are lightweight cotton and well made and won't have the problems the rayons do{coming apart}
Made a bunch of appts for MOH for next week..should make one for myself..my right shoulder is KILLING me.And the mouse doesn't help.
so dinner was turkey thighs will freeze leftovers to make "bird salad" as MOh calls it, or "Bird soup". MOH doens't like much bird, but loves Beef, so I said we have had a LTO of beef lately {been getting it at very nice discounts} so had it a LOT. Have to have my favorite in there somewhere..
well, soon for bed early morning for MOh tomorrow so early to bed.
Special thoughts and prayers for them that need them...

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.
YAY! That's good news Terry, How about a round of root beer floats on me?

Bad commuter train wreck in Connecticut this evening on national news.
Speaking of CT, where is JR?
Gary ... Back at you with this picture I took while we were having dinner in LaGrange, KY a few weeks ago.
Terry..... That is a great photo of you, your son, and the dog! Ksrl ... Big congrats to # 4 for graduation and the upcoming trip. Jeff .... Sound like you have a "floor model". Chris .... I recall the Rock Island was even worse than C&NW regarding maintenace. They used bailing wire to hold together locomotive they "kitbashed" looking a bit like some of Jeff's creations. The Milwaukee Road was in similar condition. The last time I saw a MILW Erie Built FM passenger locomotive, it was hauling a commuter train, and part of its side panel was made of plywood instead of steel.

Nice shot Garry!
the BN would hold it's engines on the road longer than the FRA allowed but I don't think they got that bad. except with F & E units.
Hi Gang,
Chloe, when time permits would you draw me a double RBF, please and thanks.
We had a good trip from Home to Springfield (3 days, no pressure ) then went to Memphis for 3 days as we had not been there before. Took in all the Elvis stuff, Graceland etc. and several of their more famous BBQ joints, then back to Springfield as today was my Son's Convocation for his Masters in Psychology. Very impressive Ceremony and a great and funny Speaker. Steak BBQ tonight with C on C and sweet potato fries.
Doesn't look like I'll get to visit with Cape Jim or Garry and that is sad to me, I was hoping to work that in but now we have a week booked in Branson for all four of us.
Terry, glad to hear that your Son is homeward bound from that sand pit. Hope you have a great reunion soon.
Garry, glad your holiday went well and you are back home safe and sound.
Jeff, I can sympathize with you as one of the last things I did before leaving home was to have placed something on the layout that shouldn't have been there and knock an A-B set of orange (WP) FT-7s to the concrete along with about four freight cars. Lots of damage, sure hope it is all repairable. I really hate it when steps get broken off. I have not come up with a great way of replacing them to my satisfaction.
Well my Son is firing up the fire-pit, so I should go out there for a while, but will hit the hay soon as I have had to many late nights and early mornings this last week. This next week will be much more laid back.
Glad to hear Ulrich more upbeat and I hope he finds success in his new en devour.
There is some great work being done by you guys, by the way has anyone heard from Sue lately? Sure hope she and Larry are well.
J.R., Hope that pile up wasn't on your door step. Sure some awful things happening lately.
Prayers and Blessings to all in need.
Keep smiling Gang it sure looks good on ya.

Evening guys
been busy working on things. I got my "freebie" module frame attached to some "freebie" 3/4" plywood. I say freebie because I found them both when going for walks. I sanded it down, now the fun part can begin. What do I put on it? It's an odd size, something like 42.5" by 29.75" (I had measured it, but forgot what it was) I was thinking of using what I have for track, having a double-track main parallel a stream and a road, with a branchline going off to the side and over the stream on the trestle I'm scratchbuilding. I kind of want to have the road between the stream and the tracks and have powerlines between the tracks and the road. Part of me is wondering if I could stick an N-scale layout on it.
I also finished my 20th thrall coal gondola. I wound up plucking the ladders off of one of my NP ones. As far as I can tell, NP never had a 50' thrall high-side gondola (normally used for coal) and the numbering MDC used was for woodchip hoppers (I've been saving a bunch of sawdust for loading it and my 3 BN ones and 1 GN one). So I have 21 Thrall 4000s (I got an athearn RTR one of the bay), 13 PS 4000s, and 16 3-bay hoppers (MDC). I'll eventually get some exactrail FMC 4000s for the mix to replace the MDC 3-bays (actual car, but I doubt they were used in unit train service like the PS/FMC/Thrall/etc. 4000s)
Garry, the only use of plywood I can recall by the BN was as grain doors in 40' boxcars on some branchlines; in the 80s. I suppose having a piece of plywood covering the bottom of the door opening was a lot cheaper then the metal ones.
Terry, like the shirt (fellow cheesehead) sucks your son's return to the states got delayed.3
Misterbeasley, Congrats to your daughter on graduating college. Although her situation with her BF sounds like the situations lots of girls my age get themselves into. I have a non-high-paying job, but have a degree. I just can't find anything as everyone wants 5-10 years experience.

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.
Gerry: 'The Lost Cause' is our so-called 2 car garage. Filled with....stuff.

We found a whole pile of dullness for our viewing pleasure here..no partly was involved...
Also, Lost Cause won round one...still more stuff than there was before...sigh....so, on to round two tomorrow.....sigh....

Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Good morning. It's 73° with 94% humidity. It'll be cloudy with a high of 88°.Last night I spent about an hour putting 'KEEP OFF!' labels on the three Bachmann GP40's. The Atlas GP40 was done over a year ago. I had to redo a couple of the labels because the water in the glue made the ink run. Overall they look pretty good. They must be effective as Ray Johnson isn't on any of the units this morning. Being the son of the towns owner he gets away with a lot. He's also the foreman of the Sundown shops, so he figures if he wants to take a ride on one of the locos then he's taking a ride. Who's gonna be stupid enough to tell him he can't?. The owner of the locos. That's who.Nothing going on today, that I know of that is. Who knows what other parties might have planned for my day? I figure it's a good day to watch TV and play with trains.
JimRCGMO ONR Fan - to the Diner (but then again, maybe I was just out and MIA myself when you stopped by before), and have a beverage on me, please. Tell us/me a bit about your MRR layout/plans/ dreams (time era, scale, etc. - I take it you may be NOTB in Sunny Canada, eh? If you haven't been peeking in the window earlier (it's not unusual for people to peek in the windows before stopping in to say howdy), Galaxy can fill you in about the place. (Oh, and thanks for reminding me that it's about time to see about updating my glasses...) Blessings and prayers, Jim in Cape G.

Hi Jim, thanks for the welcome. My layout is based on the transition era and is a work in progress. It is 16 by 28 and is still a plywood central, lol. A couple friends, my son and I have been working on it for the last few months and it is really coming together quickly. The benchwork is done, most of the trackwork is done and the wiring. There is one section my buddy Dave isn't happy with so we are going to fix that up on Monday and then start doing some scenery. It's Digitrax DCC controlled. I do live in Canada, a small town named Millbrook in Ontario.
Dave
Hello all
Jim in Cape G. has reminded me to "announce" the rules for the diner to the "newbies". SO here goes:
The RULES are simple:
1} we can come here, the only place {thread} in the MR Forums, to talk about anything..even if not MRRing or trains related. talk about how your day was, events happening in your life, etc.
2} NO religious, political, ethnic, war/peace, product/company bashing or other "flame war topics". If it incites a "riot" or "food fight" in the diner, it can be closed down so everybody looses out! "PRAYERS" and "Thanks for service" IS allowed, but be respectful that others may not believe as you do.
3} NO FOUL {or fowl for that matter} LANGUAGE. We DO have children who read this site and thread, some post here, and so we keep it "G" rated and CLEAN. AS my mother used to say " you can find a better way to express yourself"
4} NO DIRTY/RISQUE jokes, pics, drawings, innuendos. Again, "G" rated and for children/families. If you wouldn't tell your mother or grandmother, or a 4 year old, don't tell it here! {even if you would and it's dirty, DON'T tell it here}.
5} you Can post pics, but our hosts, MR magazine themselves, ask us to not post more than one or two pics per posting {something about "bandwidth" or something}.
6} Due to maximum paging allowances, the diner gets "moved" at the end of every month to a new thread entirely. Look for the new next month's thread late the last night of the month or the first day of the new month. {If you see the last post says "THE DINER IS CLOSED" Look for the new thread for the new month, even if the mods have not yet locked THe old thread}
We are a good group and some very close online diner relationships, so JOIN US, and LURKERS: SPEAK UP!
that is about it. Simple, eh?
OOPS, I got TOPS again! {to the new guys; That means I 'buy" all the others on that page their meals/drinks at the diner with "virtual money" or "virtual credit/debit cards"! WHOEVER gets the top posting "buys" the diners their tabs".{please NOTE: no money changes hands!}}
ALSO- there are NO calories, NO fat, NO cholesterol, and the food always tastes just like you like it, so EAT UP!!!
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and an order of flapjacks please. With that real Maple syrup from New Y…no wait, let’s try Vermont today.
Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Farmers happy it hasn’t rained as predicted. They’re really making progress on the planting. They won't be happy for long...give 'em time to find something.
Welp, once again I’ve not much to say other than boy I can’t believe I slept until 0830 this morn.
I’ll sum up my weekend in one word….yard w**k. Black Raspberries have returned and I gotta get rid of those as have the Blackberries around the AC unit. Luckily, my friend still wants more. “I’ll still take as many as you give me”. She’s wanting to fill in a large area with Black Raspberries. They have 8 acres give or take and a lot is woods so…she explained the area to which I nodded my head as if in agreement, but knew not where she spoke of. Luckily, with me, if later she finds out I don’t know, she thinks I can’t remember instead of the usual female accusation that I wasn’t paying attention. With any luck.
Notice how the things most import to a woman involve “paying”?
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!!

Zoe, I'll have a short stack of blueberry pancakes with real NYS Maple syrup... Huh? your out of it and only have the Vermont Maple syrup? That's OK, most of the Vermont stuff is actually from NYS anyway... Oh and I need some dark roast coffee for my R&GV RR mug please. Yes, leave the pot!
Partly cloudy around these parts this morning, although I don't see any partly at the moment... Currently 57°F with a high around 73°F later this afternoon.
A big "Welcome Aboard" to the new guy! Dave is it? I see you are Northwest of my location across Lake Ontario. I was just up visiting Ontario last April for the Niagara Frontier Region, NMRA Convention in Mississauga. Be sure to tell us a bit about what you model and remember we love photos!
I will be spending much of today out at the R&GV RR Museum helping to get everything ready for opening day tomorrow. Tomorrow i will be either riding aboard old Eire C-254 or the PC Caboose trying to keep everyone safe and making sure they enjoy the ride.
Gee, Todd, I got my self up before 8:30 this morning. Amazing what a new mattress can accomplish.
Catch you all this evening!

Good morning, DIners!
ONR Dave..... Good to see you in the Diner. We'll be interested as you make progress on the layout. Scenery will be fun when you get to it.
Todd ...... It's suposed to be "Early to bed and early to rise", and yes, I know what you mean about femakes and money.
Ken .... It's Saturday. You're off work you said. We'll be glad to see you.
Barry ...... A lost cause? ...... Here you go. Borrow this machine to get started ....
John Boy ..... Of course, I understand if your trip schedule is too busy. On our recent trip we failed to make several visits we wanted to do. Perhaps, next year you can visit. You would have missed seeing one of the three layouts here because my friend Gus is in the hospital. Speaking of Gus. I did get to talk with him very briefly on the phone last evening. Evidently, everything is stabilized. It will take a long period to grow back large amounts of skin. His heart is still not beating correctly, but hopefully that will improve soon. It is taking a long time for the poisen to go away. Would anyone like a 1948 Plymouth? Also, how do you like the styling on the truck trailer?

Good Morning, Janie - I will have the #2 special, scrambled, with wheat toast, blackberry jam, and a Santa Fe mug of coffee, please. Thank you!
CB&Q Garry, thank you for the update on Gus. Certainly hope he's a fighter, with the stuff he's dealing with, due to that spider. But you'd better use caution with all those car photos - somebody might mistake you for a "used car salesman"...
Ken, sent you a PM (after your email). Hope your w**k front goes well today for you (and your customers).
JaBear, I'd almost forgotten my Australian from back in school, but like Ray, it came back to me okay.
Galaxy, I think for many of us Diners, the things Jeffrey (& maybe a couple others) eat would give us heartburn, etc. He has what my Dad used to refer to as a "cast iron" stomach. Good to hear you're getting the glasses in order, as well as that YOH got the second job. As you said, now to increase the hours (at the better-liked job)...
Ray, maybe it's because the w**k was already done on it, but that C-254 caboose looks in great shape. I bet that's a more recent photo, and not how it was when the museum got it, right?
Paul, hope the theater was very enjoyable for you (and that your daughter had a great performance).
Mr. B., congratulations to your daughter - I'm sure that a neuroscience major is NOT any easy major to complete! (Hopefully, her boyfriend will get motivated enough to find a paying job for himself...)
SP&S Gary, having a good photo of that SP&S loco is handy when you're trying to match the prototype, I'm sure.
Chris - on your editor's "conflict" vs. NOT making a comment to her: "Discretion is the better part of valor" was the quote that came to my mind. T'will be interesting for you to meet Sliced Bread (and see what the J schools are turning out nowadays...) next week. Please report back on what you learn/see/notice. As for your 'wavy' yard tracks, you may need to (only) "sorta" match the prototype (if you want your cars to stay on the tracks, anyway).
Karl, good to hear that your son know how to say "Thank you" to his father for all those years of support, housing, food, etc. that you gave him! Maybe over the duration of his internship, you can get some cars to go with the QJ?
I was wondering how JR has been doing, also. JR - whatcha been doing?
Speaking of Diners who haven't been in for a little, I guess Ulrich's been busy with the politic'ing (or resting up from all that). And there are a few other MIA Diners, who hopefully will poke their noses in the door to say Hi.
Johnboy, sorry we'll miss you on this trip, but I know you and your family will enjoy Branson - lots of good shows there, and Silver Dollar City is fun, also. Just let Garry &/or me know next time that you're gonna be back this direction.
Barry - on your "Lost Cause", maybe it's time to rent one of those haul-away dumpsters, or one of these (along with that hauler that Garry showed you)?:
ONR Dave - thanks for your introduction and description of your Plywood Central. (Mine is so far a PC also..) Good that you have some help for w**king on yours. Ah, and I see Galaxy covered our basic Diner caveats/rules.
I'm guessing, Galaxy, that when you mentioned "no food fights" in the Diner rules, that THAT didn't cover any of the occasional/rare Diner parties, nor any of the pie fights that (ahem, cough...) a certain Diner (whose name escapes me, but I think it starts with Barry...) has been alleged to participate in? Okay, glad it wasn't any of those! And no "chicken" talk, eh?
Todd - yup, it is a bit puzzling that the ladies do seem to want that "attention," and other paying... Anybody figure that one out yet? Nope?..
Last night I did some more painting on my "downtown" buildings (aka Merchants Row I). Still want to do some more, but here're a couple of progress pics for ya:
Both walls (the most visible once this is assembled and placed on the layout) look a little bit rough (and have some edges that need cleaning up), but I like the roughness of them still. Got to find a smaller brush...
Well (frogs are happier with the warmer temps in there today - up into the 80's F), I'll be finishing up my breakfast (brunch?). Want to run a couple of errands (dropping laundry off for them to do today, and need to go feed daughter and son-in-law's dog), and then may do a little reading or MRR stuff this afternoon. Hope everyone else can get in some quality MRR time today!
Part of my weekend has been devoted to applying these small labels to some of my locos. Here are two on a couple of rebuilt GP40's.Today I'll be applying them to some others. Those include a GP7, a C420, half a dozen FP7's, and an F7. I think that's all my eyes will be able to handle today.
Good Afternoon,
We are supposed to get rain here shortly but who knows as the weatherman has been saying that for the last 12 hours. With that forecast my wife and I have decided that we won't go anywhere today, just relax and likely watch more of our trip videos. We managed to get about 10 hours of taping which we find really brings back the memories of a trip. We first started taping our trips back in 1990 on a trip to France. Just watching those old 8mm tapes puts us right back into the time and place which I think is due to the sounds as much as the visual. Mind you its only been 3 weeks since we got back so I sure hope I haven't forgotten much or I'm in more trouble than I thought.
We had a great evening last night. We took the friends who looked after our house out to dinner. We went to 529 Wellington which is a really nice restaurant that specializes in beef. I had the roast version and it was fantastic.
To start off my day of doing nothing much I just watched a DVD I bought last weekend on Canadian steam that was shot largely in Winnipeg in the 1958. It was very good.
I did get the adddress and master volume programmed on my Pacific and now will fine tune the individual sounds. I don't think I should be hearing coal shoveling from across the layout but that is way with some of the novelty sounds. I turn such sounds down or off. The engine is a very good runner and just crawls at speed step 1 and that is without any adjustment and about 5 minutes of run time.
ONR fan, welcome. I've actually been to Millbrook a couple of times back in the mid '90s. I live in Winnipeg, by the way, and was there on business.
Well, time for lunch.

Afternoon All,
Had a great time last night at my daughter's play. She did not have a big part, but was still fun. Other daughter was able to make the second half, then we all went to a nice bbq place. I had crab cakes and brisket. As usual with us we all shared and sampled each others food. Son-in-law got the bbq plate for TWO. The four of us had a good time trying to finish that. They took two containers home with the stuff we could not eat.
Got up late after getting home after 1 AM and started right in on redoing some track work. Waiting for adheasive for roadbed and track to dry, before doing more.
Just now getting hungry after all the food I consumed last night, so off to make something to eat.
Prayers to all in need.

Welcome to the newbies. Come on in, have a seat and and some if you're of age and drink. I'm John, but you can call me JP for short. Everyone else in here does, so why should you newbies be any different.
Nothing new on the train front. Ex got an apartment yesterday... she signs the lease Monday and then will start moving out of my house. I've done plenty of landscaping this past week, my own house included. I'm dreading going back to the real bill paying job on Monday. I know I'm gonna have 'fires' to put out plus a zillion emails! UGH!!! On a bright note, it's a short work week with next Friday off for Memorial Day Weekend. Gosh I can't believe it's upon us already.
Anyways, I'm off to eat dinner.
Take care!

evening guys
Work wore me out... again, another saturday at work because the manager making the schedule now won't let me have saturdays off (which means no train club). I don't understand why others can have specific days off (some for some really stupid stuff, most can get away with personal) but I can't have it off for my personal reasons because my dad told said boss why I want it off (for train club). It was fine before my father spilled the beans...
Ken, IDK what to try to sell it for.
