Hey Bear, You are wishing Jimmy a happy 25th birthday, Jimmy signs his posts with the following: (My Model Railroad, My Rules) These are the opinions of a 22 year old guy from the NS Mon Line. Either he is behind in updating his threads or you're advancing him in years.

Well as my wife has been 39 for a number of years, and while I’ve got older but have not grown up, I guess its Jimmy’s right to make his own choice.Smile, Wink & Grin
Get well soon Frank.
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

Happy Remembrance; Armistice or Veteran's Day to all who served! Bow

Happy Birthday to you, Jimmy. You share a birthday with General George S. Patton? Quite an honor!

Thanks for unlocking another WPF, Bear! I certainly know what you mean about some projects seemingly taking forever... Nice workYes

For those of you following along at home, you may have seen some photos of the "forgotten corner" of my layout...

Before...

And as of 0400 Eastern Time:

I had a "Topping-Out" party, witness the single pine tree. (There should have been a flag, too Tongue Tied) It was a difficult situation to deal with to try to hide the helix. At least there's a view-break now.

On to more of the great stuff!

Regards, Ed

Nice flat car Bear!

All the best!

Dave

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Gidday All, as it has been a tumultuous and tempestuous last few days for the US contributors, I thought that we could all unify by celebrating the recent 25th birthday of regular, Jimmy Braum.Happy B-Day
 
So from the Bear, a few simple modifications and re-decaling of a Athearn BB flat car, only it took me a month of Sundays so far, and it still hasn’t been weathered!!!!
 
 Looking forward to the really Good Stuff,
Have a Great One ffolkes,
Cheers, the Bear.Smile
