Saying Hi from Vienna.
Ulrich - I agree, Vienna is a beautiful city. It has been 9 years since my last visit and had forgotten the charm this city has. Had Wienerschnitzel last night and will have it again tonight since I depart for DC tomorrow morning. My wife always says that the most beautiful countries are Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its too bad she could not come along this time.
Have to run.
All the best.

I also forgot to mention when I opened the diner for this month that whatever one potent or nonpotent potable people might want is on me.
Sir Madog FRRYKid - nice depot and certainly an appropriate location for this month´s diner! Thank you for moving it to this place.

You're very welcome. A place that I would love to see restored. I also forgot to mention the NP is a family thing. My late maternal grandfather worked for the NP as an MOW person out of Miles City.
Sir Madog FRRYKid - Atlas´ new freebie track planning software is the same as SCARM, but only limited to Atlas track. If you want to use other track than just Atlas, download SCARM and you have a mich wider choice. You can still work on your old plans.

Considering Atlas track is what I have the most of, it makes sense that I would use an Atlas-based program. I will admit I do have two pieces of Roco curves (15 degree approx 14" R) currently on a siding for my sand tower and I also have some ME bridge track on a reverse loop and on a logging switchback over a river that I call the Welili. (That name is an anagram of the first name of the gentleman that I purchased the bridges from a few years ago. He is a former coworker now afflicted with Alzheimer's.)
For the area that is planned, the only track I have in mind other than the Atlas is the ME bridge track. On the Atlas plan, I just turned the track in question to "bridge" and made myself a note in the track needs lists.
Love the new site for the month Frry. Great Pix.
Happy Canada Day to all my brothers north of the 49th. Have a great long week end and enjoy all the festivities with your Families, neighbors and friends. For those south of the 49th, have a great Independance Day on the 4th. Drive safe, all of us.......
I have to work tomorrow the 1st. but four days off after that..
Have to hit the hay as I start early in the morning.
Sleep well and sweet dreams of shiney rails........
Johnboy out....................till ?
from Saskatchewan, in the Great White North..
We have met the enemy, and he is us............ (Pogo)
Good Morning!
Steven - Rammstein? That´s music? OK, I completely forgot about Nena and her 99 balloons. That was early 1980s and I was into a different kind of music then. Falco and Herbstrock are Austrian, that does not count - they don´t speak German down there, really! I completely agree to you on David Hasselhoff - just painful to the ears, just like the typical German popular music sung in German, just painful!
Hard to believe we are already half way into the year already. Gosh, time surely flies by in a hurry!
TAFN - CU later!
The picture comes to us from the Northern Pacific Railway Historical Association with a little bit of image cleanup by Steve Allison from our local newspaper.
I failed to mention that unfortunately the depot currently doesn't look like this . It basically has been abandoned since Amtrak pulled out in the late 70's. An organization here in Miles City (which I am involved with) has been and is currently trying to get a long-term lease from BNSF so that we can rehab it back to the condition as pictured.
My mom's first teaching job was in Miles City at the high school there. I believe that was 1973 or 1974. We were out there when I was in elementary school to see the school.
Beautiful old depot. Love the location change for this month too.
Yes, I have opened the diner a few hours early for July. The location for this month's diner is here:
This is an image from the past of the Northern Pacific Railway depot here in my hometown of Miles City, Montana.

Jeffrey Scott Wimberly

AKA Running Bear
Volunteer firefighter, model railroader, and dear friend to many.
Jeffrey's Trackside Diner was formerly Elliot's Trackside Diner. It was renamed with new management to honor our friend.
Jeffrey's Trackside Diner is a meeting place for all who wish to join. We may talk on & off topic within the MR forum policy. Talk about ongoing or future model railroading projects, or simply share your day.
Beware of extreme off topics when blowing off steam. Surprisingly political, religion, and rude language. One man can crash it when it violates the rules of the house... Cousin Vinnie or his younger counterpart Steven.
This establishment is opened 24/7 for anything you desire to eat. The staff includes Janie, the twins Chloe & Zoe, Flo, Daisy, and Brunhilda.
Enjoy your stay.
