Heartland Division CB&QVW ? Porsche ? rear engine ? air cooled ?
Garry - I am sorry, but those locos were not built by VW or Porsche, their engine is water-cooled and somewhere in the front.
They are called Porsche-locos, because their design incorporates supposedly features of the Porsche 356 of the 1950´s.
Good Morning!
Another bright, but icy cold day here. I´ll just be running a few trains today. There are a few places which need to be w*rked on, but that will be messy, so I postpone it to keep Petra happy!
Audrey - good to hear Barry´s surgery went well. He is in our !
I´ll be back later!

Just dropped in from the Coffee Pot on the 3Rail forum hoping to hear that Barry's surgery went well and on his way to recovery. Hope we hear all kinds of good news from him or his BetterHalf tomorrow. I'm another train-nut with a bum ticker.

Hey all the terrible w**k week is finally over. The company in a cost cutting effort released one of the vender. The VP sent out one of his minions to inform me I now had to do the venders work. I sent him back with a message that I am already working way more than I should be and after hours too and that I could not possible take in the work of this vender. Not sure how this is going to turn out.
Steve - I agree with Garry statement. Sometimes I feel like the enforcement is one sided. But it is your game so if we want to play we play by your rules. I will still advocate for more inclusive discussion.
Barry - praying for a quick recovery.
Der how is your week been
Galaxy, Lion, UP831.... Howdy

I share everyone's wishes, concerns and prayers for Barry. I was on an IV infusion of narcotics for 2 days after my surgery. That zaps your ability to concetrate or your need for entertainment on the Internet.
Everything could be fine and we might not hear from him until the middle of next week.

I hoipe Barry's (Blownout Cylinder) surgery went well, and he is recovering as well as can be expected.
I concur....I was just coming here to ask him about it, but he is probably "sleeping it off",.. hope it went well and he is up and walking around tomorrow and in PT on Saturday.... hope the morphine drip serves him well :-)

Steven Otte galaxy Steven Otte No religious discussions in the Forums, fellows. Hmm, Mr. Otte, thanks fo the reminder, BUT, I must have failed to see any religious discussion? DId I miss it? The discussion in question was removed. Repeating its contents to tell you what it was would be counter-productive. Suffice it to say that the things mentioned by you (offering prayers for fellow Diners) and Ulrich (discussion of modeling a chapel) are acceptable. Unprompted exposition on personal and potentially divisive religious viewpoints is not. Now, let's drop it and carry on. I don't enjoy having to play Cousin Vinnie any more than you enjoy his visits.

Steven ... I suppose to you, the role of playing Cousin Vinnie may feel like a thankless job. ... However, your efforts are appreciated. We know Kalmbach owns the forum, and those who post in the forum must adhere to the rules. Kalmbach needs somebody to manage the forum and keep it under control. .... Also, we don't wish to see our fellow model railroaders arguing about non-model-railroad-stuff. ...... So thanks for what you do, and have a coffee on us.
Productive day.
Hung the thermometer in the bonus room. Hung the stick-match holder by the stove. Hung the bathroom mirror. Moved the cabinet out of the bath to the bonus room, moved into the bath the small dehumidifier...{we are developing a small spot of mold on the bath ceiling above the window}. Mounted the hooks for the bathrobes. did some morng shopping ,and bought a new oriental-look rug for my"feet palce" at the couch so as to not dirty the carpet.
WIll still hang a few things, such as the hook by the back door, etc. Tired, my wrenched knee is telling me all about it, the matchng hip from climbing on the step stool is telling me about it.
We will see what we shall see when we see it.

Afternoon Diners,
Train News: On Monday I ordered some track at my hobby store. I received an email that my order left today.

Sir Madog last mountain & eastern hogger Ulrich, maybe you can tell us more. ? Johnboy - I couldn´t tell you more than you posted in the paragraph underneath the picture. They were used as motive power for park railroads - mainly on a temporary basis for the duration of the Federal Garden Show, which is held in different cities each year - from April till end of October. The gauge is 600mm, about 60bhp 14 were built, but to my knowledge, only one still in service in Cologne, one in Karlsruhe, one in Saarbrücken and a fourth one in Amsterdam.

Afternoon folks,
A large cup of hot chocolate would suit me well right now, Chloe.
YGW, I have already said this is not a topic that should be discused in here.... If you want information on this subject, try here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debtors'_prison, https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/awhhtml/awlaw3/slavery.html (First paragraph explains it), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servant (read part titled North America). For many who signed, it was come to the New world, or stay in prison for many many years, or be put to death. Many were simply caught on the streets, thrown in prison, and told to sign or else... I could go on but I have already overstepped the boundaries as I know it. No more on this!

Hi Gang,
Thought you might like to have a look at this sweety.
Ulrich, maybe you can tell us more. ?
Johnboy out....................
A 1954 Escher VW-Porsche Kleinbahn Prototyp in the Prototyp in Hamburg. These little trains were built from 1954 to 1971 and were used in parks and botanical gardens. It pulled 3 cars which had space for 90 passengers. Its not a accident that the design of the locomotive looks like a cross between the legendary TEE train and the Porsche 356. This locomotive was powered by a VW industrial engine and was the prototype of the VW-Porsche trains.

yougottawantaUlrich how did you do the corner on the church ?
... with a very small flat brush, holding it close to my nose, with my glasses off. Touching up some bad spots werde done with a tooth pick.
Howmus - Not arguing but I am very curious on how endentured servant can be related to slavery. From basic concepts at first glance these do not appear comparable. For instance: Slavery is usually entered into unwilling. For example right now this very day in the middle east there is a group of people who are conquering one group of people and selling them into slavery. That is forced. An endutured servant willingly enters into a contract to trade work for transportation. No one forced him to enter into that contract. How can that be slavery. Profit does not make or not make a slave.
Ken I am interested,
Ulrich how did you do the corner on the church ?
Lion - LOL Chinese Lions Do they like Orange or Sesame chicken too ?
Henry - The out fit I work for built on the water in Annapolis. Then the economy tanked and we shut the project down. So you are in MD I take it. Do you belong to the NMRA ? I am amazed that Trucker guy didnt get hurt much worse.
Gotta run

Hello, All! Zoe, I will have some Wheatena with brown sugar and a little milk, thank you.
I heard from the decoder expert - he returned my decoder and told me it tested out fine. Now I am attempting to reinstall it into the locomotive. This is one of those times that I wished I'd chosen 'S' gauge rather than "HO"; and happy that I didn't choose "N", I guess, although I have some N gauge stuff around; (too small or my fingers are too big or my eyes are too weak; too many 'too's for me!)
Well, the experience is good to get, and if this works, I will have to chin-stroke whether more sound decoders would be worth the effort.
Nice day in Southern Maine, hope all is well for you diners out there!
Mornin' everyone (and you too Steven...),
Zoe, I'll have a bowl of hot oatmeal with brown sugar and a pot of Marrakesh Express Dark Roast Coffee to start the day. Yes, my R&GV RR Mug would be good...
Last night got a bit nasty outside during the evening. We got some freezing rain, sleet, and then a couple inches of sn*w here in the Finger Lakes Region. Sun is out at the moment so I'm hoping the solar panels will clear themselves before I find time to use the roof rake.
As usual I have a long list of STUFF I should get done today, several of which involve getting in the PiP (after I clean off the ice and sn*w) and driving around town. Since it is 19°F outside, I can be sure the ICE will fire up so I might have heat in the car by the time I get where I'm going... Then the EV will get me home. Without heat...
Have a great day and stay warm if you are where it is chilly...

Good Afternoon!
An goes out to Barry for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery thereafter!
Henry - my favorite line is the former Furka Oberalpbahn (FO), a narrow gauge railroad from Brig to Disentis. This railroad has been merged with the former Brig Visp Zermatt railway (BVZ) to form the Matterhorn Gotthardbahn (MGB). Add to that the Rhaetian Railway and you have the route of the famous Glacier Express from St. Moritz to Zermatt. I have been attach to the FO since my childhood days. I spent my 10th birthday with a cab ride on the loco you see in my avatar!
Galaxy - here is one for you:
Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati. seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam, quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare Tyrrhenum. Sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero-
All of that translates into:
Ask not ('tis forbidden knowledge), what our destined term of years, Mine and yours; nor scan the tables of your Babylonish seers. Better far to bear the future, my Leuconoe, like the past, Whether Jove has many winters yet to give, or this our last; This, that makes the Tyrrhene billows spend their strength against the shore. Strain your wine and prove your wisdom; life is short; should hope be more? In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away. Seize the present; trust tomorrow e'en as little as you may
Not much MRRing today - I just spread some WS fine turf on the layout.
Well, here is a "Carpe Diem" to all of you!
Good morning.
I'm thinking about Barry being in surgery. I hope all is going very well for him.

G'night.
YGW In the video, the driver was refusing medical care, that' all I know. I am near Annapolis. When the train hit the garbage truck up in Baltimore last summer, I heard the tank car explosion all the way down here, 20+ miles away. After that, the TV stations showed all kinds of vehicles, including school buses blowing through rail road crossings.
Galaxy, someone said something about religion and marriage. They weren't telling me what I should believe, so it didn't even register on my radar screen. Since Steve's post appeared after Ulrich's, I thought it was his Sunday go to meeting house that brought down the hammer.
Ulrich if that is your second favorite RR, what is number 1?
Evenin' Folks!
Janie just a cup of decaf for me right now.
yougottawantaHowmus - indentured servants were not slaves. They worked for the lender for a number of years to pay off the cost of the boat ride. Then they were free to go. A slave dies a slave.
Ah... Actually it was a form of Slavery... Much more complicated (and profitable) than you were taught in school... I have a lot more information on how the system worked, and I will leave it there as it would not be proper to say much more in here... You are only right about it being for a limited number of years. 'nuff said.
Went to the Troop meeting tonight. They had an excellent meeting! Mostly planning for future meetings.
Still have several items to get done before I head for bed. I best get moving... have a great night everyone!
UP831 lol kung pao wildebeast ?
Ulrich - how did you do the chapel corners ?
Howmus - indentured servants were not slaves. They worked for the lender for a number of years to pay off the cost of the boat ride. Then they were free to go. A slave dies a slave.
Der - the cake eater was cute. Don't understand the plan for the stuff underneath. Sham you don't live closer. Today I gave a local pastor a trailer full material and I filled up the back of his truck with tile, exterior trim and the back seat with tile grout. It was either donate it or pay to throw it away. Come down this way bring your trailer.
Mr B that must be odd cyclingbby banks of snow ?
Henry - it still looked like it but the cab. The guy wasn't injured ? What area do you live ? I am in VA also and have traveled the parkway numerous times.
Ken - looks like you have a nice haul. I thought the hoppers were sold out ? You have load of awards on the wall. What did you get awarded for ?
Barry - bit of a prayer for you - Lord we ask that you guide the surgeons, be with his wife and give her comfort through this and give Barry quick healing. Amen
Good night folks

Good Evening Folks!
Flo, please and one for Tin Can Jeff and Berry!
Over all it was a good day. Spent around 2 hours with my wife taking her places. But it was still a good day. What drives me nuts about here is she thinks she is a ventriloquis! She needs to tell me what to say all the time!
In the mail, I got a birthday card with $100.00 in it! Yep, that works for me! Sue wanted to know what I was going to say when I called to say Thank You?
Train Front Mixed day. With my new found wealth I headed to K-10 model trains and went a little over the top. Bought way more than I needed, but when does that really matter!
