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?
This may not be it, but Are we no longer allowed to allow prayers for those in need, facing operations, in bad health or experiencing a death?
Please remind us what is a "religious discussion"...so we may know,, I obviously understand blatant things like Bible Quoting, or things like "sayeth the Lord", or "MY God says this" or "God Bless you"....but is offering a prayer for someone now considered a "religious' reference? Tehn WHY the angel with wings "emoticon"? {}
Please advise,
I think you might have removed any relgious references to which you refer already.....so I must have missed it.
Thanks, SIr.

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

I would insist on it. Good luck Barry.
ps edit. The trucker who hit the train, lucked out because it was an oblique angle. He claimed he was used to the crossing bar that lowers. Washington DC has stop lights on posts at the corner of intersections, Maryland has them suspended from wires. I can't tell you how many red lights I have run when I infrequently drive in DC.
I was coming home on a rural road in SC before dawn. I came to a stop sign and was going to just roll on thru when I remembered the stop sign was at railroad crossing. I came to a full stop and looked left to see the stealth gray Chessie about 20 feet away and coming hard.

I've woken up the last 2 days to find the old alarm clock flashing in its power failure mode - completely lost track of time, of course, but since it sits on the night table of a retired man, it's right at home. We've had those "weather events" too, a miniscule amount of snow Tuesday night and a rather impressive line of thunderstorms last night. The power was probably out no more than a few minutes, but there were clocks to be reset.
My wife is up in Maine skiing, while today I was out biking in shorts. It was 60 degrees today here, and almost all the snow is gone except where the plows have heaped it up, and even those piles aren't long for this season. I rode along the rail-trail today. The frost isn't out of the ground yet, and there were a lot of puddles, and most of the new crushed stone dust they put down in the fall is more like riding on sand with the trapped water. I took the road on the way home instead.

Good afternoon.
First of all ...... Barry Blownout : You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Next, Der John .... That looks like very solid construction. Doors are going nowhere.
Ulrich ... Your progress with the Swiss layout is impressive.
Happy Model Railroading, everybody.

Tea time! Crumpets with lots of butter please, and strawberry jam, of course! I haven’t looked in for a few days it seems – so current events not yet read., except to say Happy Birthday to Ken
Galaxy: Got your PM, contemplating the reply LOL Unco new to me – don’t think I’ve ever come across it.
Barry: I did see your remarkable list of meds – and now an op? Hope all goes well
Unfinished reply from some days ago
What did surprise me that as a Commonwealth country “Hot English Mustard” isn’t available as such!
In fact my university attending daughter is of the opinion that the preferred option looks like a tea towel.
Of course the Coriolis force as the water goes down the plug hole in a clockwise direction helps keep the sink extra clean!

I am actually proud of my achievement.
Must get back to shifting rectangles around…if I can tear myself away from eBay N listings – and there’s a Marklin Z starter kit 88051 I think, which has the loco people use for the chassis for Nn3 steam…..which on my layout would play nicely with that Welsh video Ulrich! Much shorter trains in my Nn3 plans – and open passenger cars as well.

Ulrich, Wonderful! And yes, I'm sure some Gaelic Blood courses through my veins... Although the family name is Scotish, and my ancestors came here as Slaves in the early 1600's (Indentured Servants), I can be certain there is some Welsh ancestry there as well.
Oh, by the way "Hippo Birdie to ewe..." Ken, even if it is a day late!
The meter reader from NYSEG was here a while ago. He rang my doorbell and I went out and told him he needn't go down cellar to read the gas as I do that every month myself. He only needs to bug me once a year when NYSEG needs to verify I have been honest... Besides he doesn't want to slog around in the water down there. He laughed and said he has seen a lot of that here in the neighborhood today! New guy on the route....

Ulrich is not the only one with insomnia. Got out of bed at 5 after tossing and turning for a couple hours, had a cup of coffee and checked my credit card online.
$38 charge to www.tylerstx.com, a sports apparel store I never heard of in TX. Citicorp is not going to hold me responsible. Whoever it was didn't have the right expiration date and tried 3 previous times at the same store. Makes me think that somebody snapped a photo of the card and the date is hard to read.
Ordered some DCC stuff from Litchfield yesterday. They charged my card, then this morning decided something was out of stock and refunded my now defunct credit card. I wonder how that is going to work out.
The Balto Washington Parkway is closed because of flooding. I don't remember that ever happening before. The Weather Service decided that yesterday was an "Enhanced" severe weather alert. I guess that means if a tornado pops up, and some did in VA, we told you so.
Today started out sunny but is not cloudy and windy, so no painting today. Will get the legs on my next piece of benchwork today. Went to Radio Shack to price some barrier strips and there were none. All there 'electronics" stuff would fit in 1 1/2 craftsman tool cabinets. Many of the drawers were nearly empty.

Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a short stack of buttermilk pancakes this morning, bring over the bottle of real NYS Maple Syrup and add a couple sausage links. Will need a large pot of Café Justo Dark Roasted Coffee for my R&GV RR Mug as well.
Mornin' Steven! Official Visit? Hmmmm... I been behaving (I hope...).
Wet!!! Today can only be labelled as WET! Good sized river running down the edge of the side street and more running across the street I techniqually live on (I live on the corner) down to the catch basin at the corner. Stream is running pretty well across the back of my property with a nice pond in my neighbors yard, the guy across the street has a nice swimming hole in his front yard, and I have water running into the basement here. Still raining off and on...
Barry, keeping you in my prayers for a successful surgery. Hope this will cure the heart problems so you can get back to the life of music and trains I know you love!
Galaxy I think your friend needs to get himself to psycologist/psychiatrist ASAP! I know if I was in his place I sure would be...
I best get myself moving, gotta take my shower, get down to the basement and start the sump and stuff like that. Also have a lot of deadlines to meet today... Catch you all later!

Maybe I am missing something, but, please, what´s religious about talking of painting a model of a chapel?
--Steven Otte, Model Railroader senior associate editorsotte@kalmbach.com
Afternoon, Folks!
I thougt dropping by and spend some time with Barry is a good idea. Flo, make that coffee and cherry crumble pie for the two of us, please.
Barry - will keep you in my tomorrow!
Galaxy - I have a hunch that train nut friend´s depression is pulling you down as well. That´s not good and does not help either one of you. Train nut friend needs professional help/counselling to help him cope with his son´s death.
I tackled what I think was the most difficult job in building my layout - painting the chapel! It´s not yet finished - there are a few spots which need to be touched-up and the bell needs to be painted in the correct color, but basically, the job is done!
Given my bad eyes and shaky hands I am actually proud of my achievement.
Now off to planting some more trees!
KEN!!!
Good morning.
Another dull day here with snow and wind.
More flowers showed up here. Mmmmm.
Anyhow, they are prepping me for the operation tomorrow...
So...make it a great day!!!
Good Morning Diners,
Flo, I'll have an extra large cup of coffee with lots of cream, please.
Just stopping in for a moment before going to work.
MOH is visiting her sister so I'm batching it for a few days. Last night I treated myself to Kung Pao Chicken. Tasty! Sorry Lion, they don't make Kung Pao Wildebeest.
Galaxy: this quote is just for you.

GM, MEN!
HEre I sit, FAT, DUMB, and contempating life.
Train nut friend is a teatotaler. Well, he was. Last night, for example, while his wifey was at work, i called to see if he'd like to join us for dinner. He said not really, it was raining, misty, foggy and wet. And Besides, he was on his 3rd glass of wine! This is an alarming new habit he has. That is VERY UNCO {see below}. SO I am worried. The once a month meeting is NOT good enough. He also complained that he gets angry when we talk about Christian, but guess who brings up the subject?????
SO I sit here FAT DUMB and contemplating his life too. Christian was his onkly child nad lets face ti he is a bit beyond child bearing years, and wifey is fixed due to a hysterectomy, and the terrible two's would be terrible on them even IF they could.
Today's word{s}:
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!
Good Morning!
Must have been a rather frosty night - everything around us is nicely iced up. Looks kind of pretty, but sends me shivers down my back.
last mountain & eastern hoggerHappy Birthday Cuda Ken, You do know that you now are an official member of the Ol' Pharts of the Diner Club, don't you ?
I knew I blew! I marked this day in my calendar, which is right in front of my nose!
A belated , Ken - with all the works!
Johnboy - I have a little less than 6 months to join Ken (and quite a number of others) in this club.
I will dig down deep into the orcus of my MRR stuff to see, whether I still have some flat white paint left, allowing me to start on the chapel. I´d love to finish that scene as it is my favorite photo spot on the layout.
I´ll be back later!
Ken
Happy Birthday
Good night BO Cylinder
Ken - we must have posted at the same time ! Happy Birthday you young whipper snapper you. Hey don't let all of these people call you old !!! Moses lived to be a few hundred years old !!!!! Heck you are just a pup compared to him !

Happy Birthday Cuda Ken,
You do know that you now are an official member of the Ol' Pharts of the Diner Club, don't you ?
May you have many more to get those decoders sorted out and sell a few more mattresses.

Good night Ulrich. You are such an encouregment to us. Performing such great modeling despite health issues and income limitations
Ken I sent you a PM.
Well gotta get ready for church. Tonight we finish a series that I am calling "cromagnum man aint my daddy" its on evolution vs. creationism. And the truth behind the the scientist claims. I will give some specific detail in a PM if anyone is interested. But the bottom line is they arent your daddy.

Flo, Please and pices of Brithday Cake. What, no one remembred it was my ?
I was not dreaming of a White Birthday, but that is what I got. While only 33 degress it was blizzard conditions when I woke up today. Which was bad, at time 30 MPH plus. It was a wet snow so no driffiting and road crews where ready for a change.
Wife decided I wanted Chinese Food so she made me go buy some. I would rather saved the $20.00 toward a Decoder.
Train Front Cleared my Proto 2000 SD 30's from the RIP track. Need to work on the LED in 6943, looks like they have a green house in the cab. All so cleared 2 Tyco Old Dutch Hoppers and a few other cars from RIP track. You can never have to many Old Dutch Hoppers if you ask me!

Later, Ken

Barry - a man can never be too old or too ill...
Thanks for the kudos on the bridge & river scene. Following a prototype scene certainly is challenging, as it leaves little room for an, say, interpretation of the lay of the land. My aim is to capture the atmosphere of the location, but certainly not every detail. Things would be different if I could go there with a camera and a tape measure ... I just have to rely on pics, which mostly sho the view I preesent in my oictures. I have found one shot from the other side - now I have to make some changes to the scene
Slowly heading for the hay - a good night to all!
YGW: MOH kinda thinks it may be a couple of nurses. Remember the spontaneous jam a few of us had here with the bluegrass style? Well, it did garner some attention ... BTW.....the nurses up here are young and....not bad looking...
