Extra strong coffee in a KA 942 mug, please.
Have a terrific day folks.
Cheers! Rob
No surprise, but when I got up this morning there was 2 to 3 inches of white stuff covering everything. So I started to shovel the walks only to find ice underneath. Did the walks & put down some calcium chloride before the kids started to arrive at the bus stop. I didn't touch the driveway as it's easier to walk on snow than ice.
I had to drive down to a convenience store to pick up a couple of things, and the streets were okay. Can't say the same for the store parking lot. It had a good half inch of ice making it an ice rink. Guess their prople who they contract with hadn't shown up yet.
We didn't have plans to go anywhere today or tomorrow, so the conditions outside are of little concern. Maybe I'll be able to make a dent in that long list of chores that I have.
Stay safe...

Morning diners,
yougottawanta Angel - You dont live in the present ? Is that just on the RR ? When I was younger I wished I could have lived in the period when teh west was being opened and taht I was a trapper or something liek that. Know up in years I am so thankful for gas heat, elect.roof over my head etc...Glad I didnt live in the 1800 now !

Although I live in present. I really don't understand the new technologies and new hip speech. I don't think I'll live back in the 1930-1970s to witness the real freight cars that used to roam the rails. A nice change to see real Amtrak rainbow era and ride the old superior passenger trains, like the 20th Century Limited, Coast Daylight, and others. But I was born to late. I do get the thrill with the toy models.
It's been at three days, but I tried to get not communicate. I got overwhelmed being around the computer/ internet and I needed a break.
Since I been gone I'll give you a small recap of what's happening.
Refixed the kitchen cabinet, so the dishes aren't tint; got an haircut to bad they rise their price by a dollar. (I bring exact amount, but I do carry extra just in case).
I cancelled my modern SBSO layout design so I wouldn't be buying modern weathered graffiti freight cars. It was a good idea but power plant add on was 70 some inches and the main was going to longer than 50 some inches.
I finally finished the 2x4-ish layout design. I know that I can start and finish. Too bad all the track alignments are all the same.
Amtrak America, 1971-Present.
Yes, the weather. My daughter and her boyfriend drove down from Maine last night. The plan was for me to take them to the airport for a short trip to Florida. It was one of those "leave the house at 5:30 in the morning" trips. When we went to bed at 9 last night, the airline was still reporting on time for their flight.
Not so this morning. That flight was cancelled along with pretty much everything else. It wasn't even snowing yet. They just went back home to Maine before the snow hit.
I've got plenty of food in the fridge. I always laugh when we've got a 12-hour "snow event" coming in, and people mob the stores the day before as if it's going to snow for a week.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Good Morning,
A not so balmy -3F here with a -20 windchill. But it is sunny. We are supposed to have a heat wave tomorrow with 30F! Downside is that it will be accompanied by snow and ice pellets.
I made it downstairs yesterday and looked at the layout but didn't fire it up. Perhaps today. I did watch a little tellie last night a show called the Coroner that my wife had recorded. It is a BBC production and we really enjoy it plus it has fabulous music. I have the sound on the downstairs TV hooked up to an old AR amp and some large Paradigm speakers. It is really quite good for shows that have good music.
Getting ready to go out shortly. We are meeting a friend for lunch. She was a great help to my wife, taking her grocery shopping and doing anything we wanted when I was out of commision. A true friend. After that it is on to a few errands as we are getting low on bird feeding supplies.
Garry, that is great they are restoring that Northern. It seems that most of the running steam tends to be small locos which isn't surprising considering the cost of running a large one. The largest one running in Canada is a Mountain that was last steam built for the CNR. Mind you I think it has run out its boiler time so I suppose it is waiting until funds are raised for that large project.
Well we found out how the rabbit is getting into our back yard yesterday. It is jumping the fence. The fence is 6' high so there must be a large snow bank on the other side to help it along. We have had them go under the fence through a small space but never over. When we take Robbie out it gets out of the way fast. Robbie would dearly like to have a rabbit on which to practice his grab and shake. He is quite good at it but not as good as the female we used to have. When she shook a toy bits sometimes used to fly off. It was really amazing in its ferocity.
Time to go, so I wish everyone a great day.
CN Charlie
Evening all
Where did spring go ? It is chilly today ! ( I know you northern folks think anything above zero is a heat wave ) but it is in the 20s ( from 70 yesterday ) and the wind is whipping us around ! Blowing shingles off of the roof, causing our cars to rock back and forth as we drive ...
Train front - I am getting closer to back filling the garage. Todays weather wouldnt allow it to proceed.. To wet.
CN Charlie - What a rabbit jumping a six foot fence !!? Must be a jackalope ! I didnt know they got that far north Watch out those things have horns and pretty bad tempered too from what I hear
Angel - Oh So you are not familiar with "Beats, Savage, Lit, Salty " ? Sometimes I have to go to the internet to google what my daughters are saying...Thank God for the internet or I would be clueless a LOT more... Here is an example of kids slang if they were talking Steves article:
Steve is Fam ! His article in this months MRR was FIRE ! It was Lit to read and it was not to much sauce.
Did you understand that ?
Tom - Hey you may want to watch the use of word involving w**k. Some here take a lot of offense at words like Ch**es
Rob - Hey you want some Blue Ridge Anthracite coal for that KA942 ? Here is a little blue Ridge coal dust for the coffee too ! We will get a poke and throw some in an N&W boxcar and ship yall some way over yonder where ya abode.
JaBear - Where have you been ? We have missed you in here ! I have a question for you. Why does the KA942 have the shroud on teh front in New Zealand ? What is that for ?
Garry - LOL -Northern called a "Dixie" ... Southerns sure are proud...
Howmus - Oh thanks. It is so interesting how many places get there names from American Indian names of places.
Ed - You are welcome.Does Kanassas really look like that from the air ? Fascinating ! Good thing you put down some extra glue. Peel and stick has a habit of unsticking. I will watch teh videos tonight using my internet at home. The company takes a very dim view when that hapopens at work, even during lunch hours.
Henry - Did you get any snow ? We didnt get a lick ! Lots of WIND though and some showers.
Ulrich - Havent seen you in here hope you are well.
History qoute :
We have had good and bad Presidents, and it is a consoling reflection that the American Nation possesses such elements of prosperity that the bad Presidents cannot destroy it, and have been able to do no more than slightly to retard the public's advancement.
Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.
A government that does not trust it's law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is itself unworthy of trust.
Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.
I've been away from the diner for a few days and had some catching up to do... the good ole basic cheesburger with lettuce and mayo would be great.
Ulrich: Glad that you have a date to work with for Petra, and hope that it is kept by the doctor and by the weather for travel on those dates.
CN Charlie: I didn't have any offer of "classes", but surely would have obliged myself to them had they been available. I often say "cancer changes everything, and it doesn't change anything for the better", so there are a lot of variations on the new normal. I did go to a class once offered at the community room of the local big shopping mall, with a well-qualified urologist presenting. Unfortunately, there was only one topic area that the other attendees wanted to, er, erect.
A fast-moving line of thunderstorms went over just after dawn and now the temperature is dropping fast. We might get down to freezing tonight. With that rough weather just over, it was almost like walking on a private beach this morning. I greatly enjoy covering a quarter or half a mile without meeting anyone else and with only the waves to listen to.
Car inspections: Used to live in Virginia that had semi-annual inspections (a bit much keeping up with two cars) and then went to annual. There is no such thing down here in South Kackalackie, and one thus sees some terrible examples of broken windshields, smoke clouds, and even missing fenders on the road. We would be better with some level of safety inspection. Our state is again considering (finally) adding more gas tax to pay for road improvement, and they want to tack on an extra tax to anyone driving a hybrid car. Civil engineers and examination of any major road will tell that it is the heavy trucks contributing the most to road damage. I'll pay the fee and keep my 50 mpg.
I did start work on a little HO fire stations (an old Campbell kit). This kit was purchased at a train show several years ago. My first joy was laying out the parts and discovering..... there is NO FRONT WALL in the box. The instructions are a schematic without a scale drawing of that front wall. Scribed wood in several varieties is here in the stockpile, and now I am considering also adding a floor so that the door can be positioned in "open" and the fire truck could be parked half-way up in the door. Wood, glue, X-Acto, sandpaper and time to engage a few of the brain cells if I can find them.

For what it is worth, it is currently 80F in the Valley of the Sun. (Don't hate me because I am in shorts.)

RideOnRoad For what it is worth, it is currently 80F in the Valley of the Sun. (Don't hate me because I am in shorts.)
I'm already in shorts. I barely worn pants during the winter. Yes my legs were freezing cold.
It was a hard decision to buy track, but I did it anyway. So I'm on the way to make that small 2x4-ish layout. When the track gets delivered on Monday I will figure out the space inside the oval. Later on I'll show the plan.
Good afternoon all.
Chloe - Hot cocoa please. Thanks.
YGW - It's not so much as how much I sell, but more so of what it is I sell. That day the big ticket item was a clearance refrigerator, so very little (maybe .3%) for commission on that one. It was only as high as it was due to the extras that went with that clearance fridge. Some items pay a much higher commission than others.
Weather - While not as bad as the coastal areas, it is cold, windy, and white here. Have a few (3-5) inches, with more snow showers, but lots of wind, as air temp is 14, wind chill below zero.
W**k - Meeting with the DM went well, we will be doing a remodel, but there-in is where the problem was... Our new floor plan calls for one section being 120' long... Our space along that wall is only 118', but there are 3 support posts along that wall, giving 115' of space that is usable... ....
Trains - Ended up getting a new GP38-2, not so much as I needed it, but the price was right, (from a friend), and it will fit my layout, so.... Now to get it programmed on DCC and tested, and replace the plastic clones with real Kadee's. Still working on a few other projects, including the SD40-2 project, then I will be starting in on making a few extra adjustments to the new GP unit.
Hope all are well, and all enjoy the day!

Here is the track plan.
The final plan is measured 56" by 28" or 2'4" x 4'8". The scenic divider may or may not be on.
Era, theme, location is still unknown but don't worry. I have some ideas. But first I'm focus a little on scenery than motive power.
Afternoon Diners
Flo, Ed will have Crown Royal, I will have a and we will both have some fried chicken.
I have had better train days! Sometimes I am still amazed how just adding one car and using a diffrent turnout can just Fobar the whole layout!
Dropped of my Town Car for a Trans Fluid Change. Fluid is brown and smells a little burnt. Only real problem is it goes into drive very slowly. What I have been doing is starting the car up, placing in drive for 10 to 15 seconds so the pump bulids some pressuer then go. Does not slip so I hope a fresh filter and new fluid will take care of the problem.
Had a little more to type about but the trains beat me down! I bet I got up 15 times trying to get the layout MoJo back. Well the B line with the Mighty B&O F7's are running fine, so what more could a man want?

Good evening gang!
Hope all is well with everyone. Prayers for those in need.
I''ve had a great week so far. Today was my last day of WORK for the regional supermarket chain Wegmans.
Monday, I beggin another new and exciting chapter in my life. I will be a f/t student again. I'm going to be attending our local BOCES for their Bookkeeping and Accounting certificate program that will run through Friday August 4th. This happens to be an area I lack skills in for my landscaping business and since my military educational benefits are going to pay my full ride, plus give me a monthly tax free housing allowance, it's a no brainer for me.
On the train front... nothing new to report.
On my ecommerce business... again, nothing new to report.
Well that is all for now. I am off for the evening.
Take care!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
Gidday YGW, this is the busiest time of year for me and especially this year, to borrow an Australian saying, “I’ve been flat out like a lizard drinking.” I have been looking through the Diner window but would have made for poor company and have headed for bed instead.
yougottawanta Why does the KA942 have the shroud on teh front in New Zealand ? What is that for ?
Cheers, the Bear.

Very interesting and entertaining video! I wish it had shown more of the action inside the cab but oh well, I enjoyed it none the less.
Thanks!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
I have my work cut out for me! Today I received three Walthers roundhouse kits. I was originally going to have just one Atlas three stall kit, but a rather inspired (if I can say so myself) re-design of my service facility gave me a bunch more space. I decided to sell my Atlas roundhouse and replace it with the much larger Walthers nine stall facility. Some of you will know about my Walthers 90' turntable build so it just made sense to match that to a Walthers roundhouse.
I just ordered a bunch of Plastruct HO brick sheets to finish the interior walls, and I have a ton of details already on hand for the interior, although I will need more to do it right. I love the fact that the roundhouses have service pits included. The Atlas version did not.
Perhaps my biggest challenge will be clearing enough space on my workbench to build a nine stall roundhouse. Then, once it is done, I'll have to figure out where to store it until it can go on the layout.
Nothing new to report on this front.
Escept lots of snow., of the major larger cities in NY, we are just barely behind Syracuse in total seasonal snow fall, at about 70". Thats right more than 5' and close to 6' of snow.And it's frigid here, nothing new for Feb here. The sun is actually shining here, it hrts my eyes!
trains: nothing new, but I should go through the boxes and better organize the trians so I can find things better with boxed labels.
The garden stuff is starting to ship. good, but plants won't be shipped until April here. wish the green hosue was up, been studying ways to heat it. I think some heat sinks {usually made of water jugs or drums} won;t really work as they will freeze if the greenhouse gets cold enough. Propane heater might work, and hte ventless propane heaters might be best. Then I have an ugly propane tank outside my bonus room. Oh well, the plants will need warmth.
finances. well like many others we are broke. lol Se kEn, you aren;t th only one. debt sonsolidation came through. lowers payments.
Paying off the house more though, so its a trade off. sending in double the required payment so going down. We will still ahve it paid for in 5 yeras. good.
relationship: nothing new there.
winter doldrums {officially called S.A.D.- Seasonal Affective DIsorder for me, part of my mental illness}} is setting in big time. TG we are halfway through February. Only one more monht. Easter is later this year, April 16th, but perhaps spring will sprung early and warm sunny days ahead sooner than later.
thats about it form this corner of the world.
ULRICH: Hopefully Petra wwill be good soon. It is a bear I know when food is an enemy, but excpet for fats, she will feel better after it is out. AS mentioned by others, here we get things done as soon as the surgeon can get you in. Perhaps freebie health insurance is not so great.

Morning Gang -
Chloe - How about a nice fritatta with swiss cheese and wheat toast, a side of bacon (cause we all know everything is better with bacon), a tall glass of OJ and coffee, please? Thank you!
Hey Galaxy - How much snow did you get overnight out your way? I got about 8 inches so far here in Camillus. The sun is poking its head out from time to time when there is a break in the snow activity.
Well not much to report yet today. Chloe, I will be over in the corner booth waiting for my order and watching any trains go by, if anyone is looking for me.
Getting warm out there! Must be at least 25F by now! No sun but I guess you can't have everything.
Had a great lunch out yesterday. We went to a restaurant that is part of a large, local book store. While we go to the bookstore a lot it was my first time to eat at their restaurant and I was impressed. The food was really good.
Beach Bill, the course is sponsored by the Prostate Canada Foundation and so there is no cost for it. They do an assessment of your fitness at the beginning and end to see the results of the programme. We have to assign a level of fatigue before and after each class as well as the type of exercise we did. The results are then sent to a university in Canada that are monitoring the results of exercise on prostate cancer 'survivors'. There is also yoga and other exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor. A nice side benefit is that you get to meet a great bunch of guys with whom you have a lot in common.
YGW, the rabbit is just a common cottontail but it is aided in its leap by a large snow bank against the fence so it only has to jump about 3 feet. We have a lot of cottontails around here especially where I live as we are very close to a river and a golf course. I heard the Great Horned Owl last night so I expect the rabbit population to drop soon. The owls will mate and lay eggs in a couple of weeks. When the owlets fledge the rabbits will largely disappear. We also have snowshoe hares here but they aren't very common. In winter their fur turns white. I have seen them run and I bet they can hit 30 mph or more. Absolutely amazing.
Well I didn't get down to the trains yesterday but perhaps today! I have the rotary plow on the layout with the mike pushing. Yes I suppose it looks a little silly as the layout is set in summer, but I like it so that is all the justification I need.
Have a good day,
Greetings, Folks!
I'll just have a nice piece of pecan nut roll, Flo, and maybe a glass of cow-juice on the side.
I'm burning the midnight oil here and then some. Had a 0800 doctor appointment and instead of setting the alarm clock I just stayed up all night and did some modeling projects.
I'm sure ready for the lower berth now, though!
yougottawantaDoes Kanassas really look like that from the air ?
Well, sort of... maybe the layout room has a little less green to it:
But you get the idea...
I came across this site while answering a thread in the Prototype for Modelers forum and thought I'd share it. It just hit me that sometimes something so seemingly fun and innocent can end in tragedy and affect so many lives.

So often, way too often, I read news stories about people not respecting, or comprehending, the dangers of being around railroad property. There have been campaigns for years trying to educate the public of the hazard... to no avail.
This... from 1927
I'll check in with you fine folks later...

Train front no news today.
Home front - LOTS OF Excitment this morning. Apparently a mouse has worked his way into the garage and then into MOH laundry room. When she opened the door it scurried across the floor and then all HECK BROKE LOOSE ! I have never heard so much drama ! I was upstairs and then MOH came stomping up the stairs fussing and carrying on about how this mouse has made the worst mistake of his life....She had murder in her eyes ! "No one is allowed in MY HOUSE unless its a kid, pays the bills or is invited in and this critter was NOT invited in..... I would say that mouses days are numbered if he doesnt leave this place soon !
CN Charlie - I understood your post I just had this funny vision of a Jackolope ( Mythical cross between a rabit and an anteploe.) Funny looking thing ! Yep I bet the owls will make quick work of the rabbit population.
JPowell - Glad you are popping in right regular. Good to see you again. When do you have to start school ?
Dave - Wow it sounds like Christmas again. Three kits ! That will keep you busy for a while.
JaBear LOL - "Flat out like a Lizard drinking water " I love it ! That does sound busy. Wondering where you had gone. I always enjoy your comments and your lingo.

RickyW - So what do you have to sell to get in the $150 a day range ? How can you survive on a $25 a day commision ?
ROR - 80s !!!! Oh my gosh please pipe so of that this way ! It feels like its in the 20s today here!
Beach Bill - You have been out of Va for a while. We havent had semi annual inspections in decades ! Thank God too ! That was such a pain in the rear.
Henry - Did you guys get a hard and fast snow flurry blizad yesterday. We had a white out for about 30 minutes and then it was blue skies again.
Steve - I watched the 200 Cody video last night. I am always amazed at how people look and sound in real life verse what our minds think they will sound like. You were totally different than I expected. Cody blew right by you didnt he ? a man on a mission !
Lion - Where did you go ? Are you okay ?
Ulrich - I hope your computer didn die ???
Insurrection is the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties.
Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights.
Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics...derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.

Evening Diners,
yougottawanta Angel - What industries are you going to put where ?
I wouldn't know. I haven't gotten the track since I just ordered it but hasn't been shipped yet. The track will tell me and it will go by that.
The only items to cover the so-called industries are: (1) trackside freight house (2) loading ramp (3) grain elevator
I have a few trees, concrete and girder bridge and a grass mat. My layout is very limited except for locomotives and rolling stock.
Ed- I remember that poster, it makes me sad when children has to steal coal to heat their houses. And also getting killed by an oncoming train.
Ricky- That's a pretty good one. I know that's funny.
Good Afternoon Diners,
Brunhilda, I'll have an extra large coffee with lots of cream, please.
Nothing of note to report here. However, we're one day closer to spring.
Ed: Yes, that does look like Kansas from the air in late April or in May. That's the only time of year one sees that deep green because of the winter wheat. Do you know more specifically where that is a picture of?
Another thing that the picture shows is that fairly early on in its history, they divided the entire state into square miles. There are gravel/ dirt roads every mile with corrections for longitude, and it divides the state into square miles, which conveniently allows 4 quarter sections of 160 acres each. To attract settlers, they offered 160 acres land grants for free or next to nothing to settle. The only stipulation that I know of is that the settlers had to reside on and work the land. I don't know if there was a time limit on that.
Ricktrains: That is hilarious!
Those are either Rots or well fed Dobies, probably from other selfies.
Hello to everyone, and I hope everyone is OK, safe, and warm.
it looks like I'm at the top of the page. Brunhilda, please find out what everyone wants and put it on my tab.

Ed how horrific and stupid to be killed taking a selfie.
