Morning diners,
I haven't started on my layout yet. I need to find our caulking gun which is somewhere in the dining room I believe. You can't tell where it's located because of the junk piled around.
Amtrak America, 1971-Present.
Can't believe I hadn't managed to stop in until today. Just been busy between w*rk and all the other things that I try to do on the Internet. Slowly managing to get all my projects done and I have a whole bunch of items coming in order to get those projects done. If I have evrything planned right, all the stuff that comes on Monday should get me down to one car that I actually have. (I still have three more caboose in the plan.) As some of these projects have been sitting for quite awhile, that is saying something.
Morning Crew,
Chloe, I'll have my Double Denver with home fries, toast and P.B. with choclate milk. Please and thanks.
Frry Kid, I was past your area this past week. We were at my Youngest Son's wedding in Billings this past Sunday and all had a great time.
It was a wonderful Garden Wedding with everything in bloom and the weather broke just in time as it had been cloudy, raining and windy till just before the cerimony started, then it was an absolutley gorgeous evening. We passed through your city on Wednesday shortly after lunch, got home around 8:00 in the evening.
It was quite an Honor to be asked by your Son to be his Best Man and especially at my age. The last time I was a B.M. was 51 years ago and we just laid that fine lady to rest a month ago.
Garry, I see you and your wife are on the move again, just like I had been kidding you about. One could never visit you as you are hardly ever home. Don't see how you get time to work on that great layout of yours. Here's wishing you Happy and safe miles on your trip.
Ulrich and CudaKen, sure sorry to here you guys are down in the dumps right now. I know it's not much fun as I have been there. But keep working at getting your chin up as things will improve, maybe not to the extent that it was or that you would like but to a better spot that is easier to put up with. That is where I am now and getting quite used to it, and am content most of the time.
I finally got the proper observation car for my C.Z. it is BLI, and very beautiful. It is hard to come by and the train just doesn't look right with out that observation car with the Dome, radio ant. and high tail light.
Thats about it for now, hope you all have a great week end.
Will stop in again soon. Thanks Chloe, lunch was great.
Johnboy out.................till then
from Saskatchewan, in the Great White North..
We have met the enemy, and he is us............ (Pogo)
Evenin' Folks!
Janie, I could use a pot of dark roast decaf, some fresh fruit salad, and a couple of the buttercream filled donuts left over on the counter. What? Yeah I know that is a weird supper, but it is all that seems to appeal to me at the moment.....
Brent, glad to hear your dog is on the mend! Hope she continues to improve and will be none the worse for wear very soon!
Last night I noticed a message on my home phone right before the time I needed to head to bed. The message was from the daughter of my late wife's best friend when we lived in Waverly, NY where I started my teaching carreer. I decided to wait to call her back until after I got home from the NMRA Meet today. Talked with her for about half an hour catching up on some family stuiff. She had called to let me know her Mom died last February... She and her husband have spent considerable time cleaning out her Mom's house and getting it ready to sell. One thing she kept was her mom's old address book, and was letting those who knew her well the news. Shelly, the daughter, was also a student of mine when I taught elementary music there way back when. The mother died of complications of cancer over a several year period. Had a stroke, heart disease, and finally an infection took her..... She was only 76.... Told Shelly that just doesn't sound old anymore....... I will pass the info on to my son's tonight. The lady was my oldest son's Cub Scout Den Leader, and her son was best friends with my kid. The daughter and my youngest son were friends and playmates when they were very young as well. My wife and the lady both played in a world class Handbell Choir from the Methodist Church there. It was good to hear Shelly and chat with her. Just wish it wasn't bad news...........
NMRA Meet went very well today. Had about 50 people attending. All of the mini clinics went over well. All of our officers have been elected to fill out the rest of this term of office. (that sounds funny, but at the last election we didn't have a quarum and we had a motion from the floor for us to stay as a team in office until the Divisions Move to the Northeastern Region of the NMRA was completed). I did announce that I plan to step down as Superintendent in the Fall of 2018. A decade in the office is quite enough...... I have threatened to still hang around and be "Helpful" (or annoying) depending on your point of view for some time after that. I would hope to remain as a member of the Advisory Board and continue as editor of our newsletter.
My clinic went over quite well and I enjoyed seeing some peoples reactions to seeing the exact same photo but with different lighting. I used a projector. Basically I presented three different things. Color Temperature, CRI (Color Rendering Index as it pertains to color Temperature ), and Lumens (the intensity of the lighting). I related lighting to the use of good lighting in places like Museums, Art Galleries, Theaters, and Grocery Stores. The lights in the meat case are quite specilaized to make the meat look really red and tasty like Lion wants it. One guy said, "As opposed to the icky brown color when you unwrap it in your kitchen". I grinned and said, "Exactly". I also mentioned that hospitals are very particular in some lighting like the Neo-natal areas. One of the wives lit up as she knows of a premature infant that survived, in part due to specialized lighting. The conclusion for many was that lighting may be just as important to how your layout looks as the quality of modeling..... I was happy!
Oh.... Steven.... I told them your one liner about the two photos I placed on here. Got some good laughs!
Sun is starting to set, here in the Fingers Lakes, as I look outside and the color temperature at the moment appears to be about 3000°K.
Have a great one!

Evening Diners
Flo, Ed, Brent, Jan and I will have a please. Give Johnboy anything he wants.
Sort of a job front. I should not have time to read 100 pages at work on a Saturday! Had 5 customers in 8 hours. Sold 3 $126.00 twin mattress and one $200.00 futon mattress? That sure not going to make a house payment!
Johnboy Thanks for the concern. While I realized was not going to make $50,000 year shortly after I was hired. (did at Mattress Giant) I never dreamed it would get as bad as it had this year! Thing quickly went down hill shortly after Jan 20th 2017. OK, I had a great Feburay, but that was from last years income taxes.
ATF On the Rail Front! I am amazed how well it is still working on the short line! Still have yet clean any wheels after 4 month pluse! The Pickey Walthers PK 2000 SD 7 Bessmer will go around the layout at speed step 1 with out stalling! I am turly amazed!
Later Ken
I hate Rust
It's been a pretty good week in my little world of trains. This past Thursday the mailman delivered the latest addition to my collection of locomotives for railroads that operate now, or have in the past, in Western Pennsylvania. This one is an SD40-2 from Bowser painted for the Wellsboro & Corning Railroad. The collection now has 40 of these railroads represented with an addional one to be added within the next few weeks, I hope. It's a pre-ordered GP16 from Intermountain painted for the Everett Railroad. When I started this collection, I didn't realize there were so many railroads or that there would be this many available in HO. A costly misjudgement to say the least.
I also began with the assumption that I would only purchase 1 locomotive for each railroad, but that plan derailed rather quickly. After all, take the PRR with their Baldwin Sharknose, Centipede, E8, etc.
Then there are the locomotives that don't fit in the collection at all, but for various reasons it became necessary to obtain them as well. Talking about the Southern, US Army, CN, etc. Okay, I admit it's an addiction, but a fun one.
Now if someone would come out with the Nittany & Bald Eagle and a couple of others, it would make me even more happier.
Got in a couple hours of railfanning today. 10 trains in 4 hours. Not as good as last week, but not bad either. Nothing special today though. Well, except for the fact that another railfan who frequents the same area showed up today & we had a nice chat. Haven't seen him for a couple of weeks, & we were getting a little concerned as he is in his mid-eighties. But everything was okay, he was just taking a break.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Good Evening,
Another balmy day here in the far north. Well we think it is south but then again everything is relative.
Brent, glad to hear your dog is improving. We have Westies and I can relate when one gets sick. You mention a while back about wanting to see Victoria Falls. My wife and I saw it on our 2013 trip to South Africa. It is truly an amazing sight and one you will never forget. They even run a steam powered dinner train that stops on the bridge. We didn't take it as my wife doesn't like bridges.
Well soon time for East Enders so I best get the tea ready.
CN Charlie
Good evening everybody ....
last mountain & eastern hogger Garry, I see you and your wife are on the move again, just like I had been kidding you about. One could never visit you as you are hardly ever home. Don't see how you get time to work on that great layout of yours. Here's wishing you Happy and safe miles on your trip.
JohnBoy .... Yes, we leave in the morning. We're hauling the SeaDoo up to Michigan, and I have the trailer already hitched to the truck. Trailer wheel bearings are greased; tires are okay; and hopefully we have no troubles.
Our oldest granddaughter had her 16th birthday today. We will see her (as well as our son, daugher-in-law, and another granddaughter) in Ohio on our way to Michigan.
Sadly, my model railroad friend here has some more bad news regarding his cancer of esophagus and stomach. I'm very worried.
I'll check in via cell phone when I can over the next week.
Cheers.
Edit .... Just heard the news of an attack in London. Terrible.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
angelob6660. I need to find our caulking gun which is somewhere in the dining room I believe.
A caulking gun in the dining room...
Hey! You just gave me a great idea, Angelobob!
BUTTER in a caulking tube! Just think of it, corn-on-the-cob? Sure- grab the caulking gun and give 'er a shot of butter. Dinner rolls? Poke that nozzle inside and give a few clicks.
Might just catch on
Great day, here! Warm enough (finally) for the grand kids to visit and do some swimming and fishing!
Best Wishes to all for a safe and healthy weekend!
Regards, Ed
Mentioning caulking guns reminds me of what I do with mine. As my layout is in an unheated building, anything water-based does not stay up there year round. The chaulking gun always ends up sitting on my old desk in my bedroom at home (on the ranch). That seems to be a good place and I don't have to worry about anyone disturbing it. Additionally, that way I don't have to worry about transporting it back and forth.
Hobby Front: Took tommorow off from work and plan to get six freight cars finished. (A 40' combo car needing to finish some weight decals and a reweight date and 5 coal hoppers that need the logos put on them.) I do have all the decals I need for those projects.
However, I should be getting a bunch of hobby stuff soon. Decals for a boxcar and the caboose projects, a set of trucks for one of the cabooses (the model didn't come with the right kind), some Decal Set and some model cement. The tracking says Monday but where the packages are with said tracking makes me think that they won't, but we shall see. If they come Monday, I should be able to get the boxcar in question done so that it can also go to the layout and get one more project out of my hair.
Good Morning!
Sunday - time for a late, but big breakfast, German style! Flo, make that two oven-fresh rolls, butter, jams, honey, slices of Dutch cheese, ham, two soft-boiled eggs, a glass of OJ and lots of coffee, please!
We had a terrific thunderstorm last night, dumping masses of water on us. Lots of lightning - about every 30 seconds - for 4 hours, all of it in the sky. A spectacular, but also frightening sight!
Now it´s ra*ning and rather unpleasant.
I am still not out of the doldrums and that grey weather is certainly adding to it.
Prayers for the victims of the London terrorist attack of last night! Will it ever end?
Sorry for being so inactive. My family and I were on a trip all of last week and I didn't have internet. I'll be very busy this summer with activites and stuff so I might not be able to post but I'll try to read and keep up with everyone. Train-wise, turns out I'm not going to be able to build my planned layout this summer. Lots of reasons were involved, I'm disappointed but not surprised- train-related things always seem to take a backseat. Hope everyone is well. -Griffin
Flo, Ed, Jan, Brent and I will have a please.
Work Front Again a slow but this time a good day for a change! While I only had 3 customers all 3 bought. 2 of them said they wanted to shop around, but I got the deal's done! Store had $2025.00 in sales and I made a extra $115.00 in spiffs so I feel good tonight.
Blood Surgar Front. Lowest reading yet with 106 at 7:30 AM! Had 3 eggs and a sausge link at 9:00 AM then at 12:00 my reading was 165. Had 1/2 of can of spinach (6 carbs) at 1:30 PM. Checked agin at 3:00 PM and was at 160. Ate the rest of the spinach at 3:00 PM. When I got home at 6:00 PM I was down to 138! I know, I know Ray, still way to high! But I had been in the 250 range for sometime so it is getting better!
Might Strange Might B&O F7's. Hum, did some testing tonight and found the B unit is making sound. I thought only the A unit was making sound? Both engines sound is very dirty sounding? Will try a new speaker in the A unit and see of that cures the racket! After that I will E-Mail BLI and see what they think.
Ever wonder if you had all the money you wanted what would you live in? Then things went to heck in the hand basket what would happen? For some reason I have started watching videos about abandoned Mansions and found this!
Cannot believe someone needed this sizes house!
Ken
Glad you're keeping an eye on your health, Ken!
Have Fun!
Thanks for the tasty beverages!

Hey diners,

angelob6660 . I need to find our caulking gun which is somewhere in the dining room I believe.
That was pretty good idea. Well at least I found it. It was in the laundry room.
I been busy the last two days building my layout. I was going to post it yesterday but I forgot. My layout is just a board glued to foam, I'm going to let it sit for 2 weeks to cure. before adding more foam and etc. (I ran out of caulk. My dad decided the whole board needed to be covered and secured by stepping stones.) Tomorrow I'll try to post some pictures.
Best wishes and prayers for everyone.
Hey all!
Busy, busy, busy. Been sticking my head in the diner frequently, but haven't had a chance to come in and eat for well over a month. Been busy tonight, but I needed some special equipment, and the person who was supposed to bring it to me showed up for work 40 minutes late. Once he shows up I'll be back on the proverbial treadmill.
I continue to add to the list rolling stock collection, but the layout has had zip, nada, none, zero progress. Too much yard work, house work, etc.
My missing equipment just showed up, so back on the Rd for me.

Morning all
Been very busy again at w**k. Lot to do, not enough help....
Hobby barn - This coming week we will finish the siding - thank God ! I hate being on an extension ladder especially 20+ feet in the air ! Had a scare this week, I had the carpenter helper holding the bottom of the ladder so it didnt slde out while I was at the top of the ladder near the peak of the roof. While at the peak I looked down and the caprnters helper was pushing so hard on the ladder he was actually bowing out about a foot - upon seeing this I yelled down - STOOOPPPP !!!!! Yep, for a minute or two I thought here was going to be a major accident involving me !!! Pheww, I hate ladder work !
Hope to get back in here more often, its summer and construction is at full tilt trying to get things done while the weather is decent...

YGW
Afternoon Diners,
YGW- I'm glad that your okay. I was wondering about hobby barn since there was no updates.
As promised I have some pictures.
Testing the track plan with a small local. Theirs also a auto rack intermodal train and Amtrak.
Here's the layout being secured outside. I had it outside one night so the caulk can hold on to.
I cut the foam afterwards earlier in the morning yesterday and stored it under the bed. Now I'm planning for a few months ago about getting a bed skirt. To show the dogs that no trespassing beyond that point when toys try to go under or themselves.
Hey again guys,
My Amtrak train was going to be the Sunset Limited or the Southwest Chief. It turned out the train was to long. When the train went to the curve I still have Superliners making the turn. I thought I never be able to a short Amtrak consist.
Until today I realized there was a short Amtrak train going though the desert. It's been discontinued for 20 years. The Desert Wind.
Don't worry about the layout era it's going to between 1980s-1996.
Here's an interesting story I found in response to a question from a reader...
You might have seen this photo before on the Internet, usually with some kind of "haw haw those morons don't know how trains work" comment. I did a reverse image search on the picture, and turned up an article about the photo. Turns out it was staged by some firefighters in Belgium as a joke. Apparently, after putting out a small fire, the firefighters thought it would be funny to stage this photo and share it to Facebook. It got thousands of shares all over the world. Turns out they weren't so dumb, after all.
The page does include a video, though, of what happens to firefighers who DON'T take proper precautions around train tracks.
As Paul Harvey used to say, "And now you know
.
the rest
of the story.
Good day."

What is going on here? It's June and it's 51 degrees? And raining? How am I supposed to get any exercise?
Had a very nice beach vacation with my girlfriend. We had a couple of nice sunny days, although a couple of those were cold and windy. We had a lot of fun finding new brew pubs to eat and drink at.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Work sort of Front. Well I had a good nap and got some reading done! Had a POS Lay-A-Way with $20.00 down. But that is OK, the Lady had two things I really enjoyed looking at and I was content! O-scale B Units!
Blood Surgar Front. Tuesday I am either drink De Caff Coffee or maybe none at all. Readed another study on coffee on rasing blood sugar. Sounds like that maybe what I have happening. It would suck if I have to give up but if it helps?
Ed that photo sure out a smile on my faces! You have ideas on the dirty sound from the B&O's? I only opened the A-Unit and missed wired it speaker, not the B Unit.
Later, Ken
Flo or whoever happens to be handy: Could I get my standard late night order of breaded mushrooms with blue cheese dressing and some raspberry iced tea? Thank you so much.
Hobby Front: Latest batch of projects. (Some finally finished after quite awhile.) As I hoped, all the supplies that I had hoped to get showed up on Monday. One of the second batch of five BN coal hoppers. These go with the first batch of five which was constructed in 2015. Both batches are MDC/Roundhouse Thrall Gondolas. These five started out as Union Pacific lettered purchased this spring. I used 2000-grit sandpaper to remove the old lettering as the paint stripper I tried didn't do anything to the lettering. Both batches are equipped with Adair Shops weight kits. Both batches used a lot of different decal sets (all Microscale): 87-251, 87-1377, MC-5002, MC-4280, MC-5033 (on non-pictured side of car) and MC-5034. The second batch used the 80" logos from the 251 set and required the logos I didn't use from the first set of cars as they were already lettered for BN. Paints used on the second batch are Humbrol 33 (on the weights inside) and 34. The first batch used Tamiya paints. This second batch are equipped with Kadee 148 couplers. I presume the first batch uses #5s. (Those were already equipped with couplers when I bought them.) The only issue I have with this second set is I haven't found a set of loads in my budget for this second batch. This is a model of an NP 40' combo box car. It is what I was told is an Accurail car. (bought on eBay.) The walkway was removed and the holes plugged. The sill was also fixed as it was notched rather than the even in the prototype. The endrails were replaced with custom bent .020 wire. The stirrup steps were also replaced with some Detail Associates ones (6414) as the originals were too big. The stock scheme on the car was the original for the car, which was too old for my era. It was repainted in Model Master British Crimson. (Suggested match for the old Floquil/Polly Scale Red Oxide.) The decals are a combination of the following sets (again all Microscale): MC-4109 (which is OOP. Another rare eBay find.), 87-37, 87-1377, MC-5002, and MC-4280. The light weathering is done with Humbrol RC 402. The couplers are Kadee 148's. This is another NP 40' car. This one is a Roundhouse release. I've had this one since last fall. The color is stock. The sill was also changed as the prototype was straight. The walkway was removed and the holes plugged with a set of Details Associates 6224 Roof Plugs. The logo was changed to the larger one as the stock was the smaller one of the older scheme. The repainting was done with a mix of GN Glacier Green and some White. (I had previously has a nightmare finding the right color.) The reporting marks and weight data was replacced as the font was wrong. The end numbers were also redone. The NP lettering was left intact as I decided I could llive with it. The item centered under the car is a cleaner unit from eSPee-Track-Cleaners. (Yet another eBay item.) Decal Sets used: Microscale MC-4109 (the end numbers and some of the road number), 87-37, and Herald King's ACI Set. If memory serves, the couplers are 148s, too.
I still have one more caboose project, which is waiting for paint, which is also on order.
Sure is quiet in here. Let's liven things up with a joke.
A man went into a movie theater and was surprised to find himself seated next to a woman and her large collie dog. Rather than lying on the floor during the movie, the dog sat up in a seat, watched the movie intently, and even seemed to laugh at the funny parts. When the lights came up, the man said to the woman, "It's amazing how your dog really seemed to enjoy the movie!" "I'm as surprised as you are!" she replied. "He hated the book!"
That was a funny joke, Steven.
I'm being feeling a sad. After posting yesterday and realized one of my friends left. I dunno what happened other than my short bio. Me and them had the same name and lives in NYC.
What happened to people being friends when some or all of them don't share the same interest. I don't have that many friends ( I used to until I went to college and they stop communicating.)
My true friends are Thomas toys that Bachmann makes.
I'll be off line until I little better. Maybe two to three days at the most.
Here's an update photo of YGW's Hobby Barn!
angelob6660 My true friends are Thomas toys that Bachmann makes.
Same with me! Maybe we could be friends??? Hope you feel better soon..
Well..... Deep Subject.... Evenin' folks! Hello??? Hello??? Anybody here? Oh, Hi Janie! Glad to see the place is still open. Pretty slow day here I guess.
I could use a cup of decaf about now before I head to bed.
Been a long day. Had to get up early and give Blackie his insulin about an hour early (and get their morning food) as I had to be at my sister's house about the time I normally get out of bed. I had the "honor" of transporting her to the Rochester Airport so she coud head to a college friends house down in South Carolina... She goes down there to harass, ah, see them every Spring. They never come up here though. Guess who also gets the "honor" of taking care of her cats while she is down there correcting all their misconceptions about the world at large??? I really don't mind as I do enjoy her kitties and it gets me away from the house several times for the week she is gone. My SIL who was a best friend of hers in High School will be filling in for a couple days as well.
Later in the day, I got two of the three large raised bed gardens rototilled with the small electic tiller I have and built a screen for the bed that has the peas in it. Oh! Seems that the dern Bunny Rabbit living under the shed had lunch on my newly sprouted peas sometime in the last few days!!! Grrrrr..... Anyone have a recipe for Hosenpfepper? Ulrich? Anyway, I took some old screen left over from when I first built the raised bed gardens (for underneath) and created a fence around the small bed. Will see if that works. The string beans and the onions are doing fine.
Bought a quart of white paint so I can paint some door molding trim for at the top of the basement steps and get it finally installed. The moulding has been sitting down cellar for about 15 years or so waiting for me to get around to cut, paint, and install it. It now has the first coat of paint and I will give it a second tomorrow. Plan to install it on Thursday.
I even got a couple feet of track ballasted down there this evening.
Hope you all have a great evening!
Good evening all.
Zoe - A nice slice of apple pie, and a Coke please. Thanks.
Ken - Hope your sugar issue gets better!
YGW - Getting more and more done I see.
Frrykid - Nice job on the projects.
Ulrich - Hope all is well, and enjoyed the train vids the past few weeks.
angelob - Hang in there!
Hello to all the others I have missed.
Weather - Damp, and cool(ish). 65-70 today, and tomorrow. Warming up for the weekend though.
W**k - Decent day today, but the truck was a royal pain... They double stacked a bunch of stuff, and the yard tractor was shoved up against the trailer wall. The tractor pallet then broke halfway into the building... Yep. One of those days.
Trains - Saw a very interesting mixed freight the other day on NS. It contained two log cars (in NW PA!?!), coil cars, standard box cars, covered hoppers, two TopGon cars, covered hoppers, a few bathtub gons, several gons filled with scrap, tank cars, a single autorack, and a string of empty well cars, followed by more mixed freight cars of mixed box, covered hoppers, and tanks.
Too bad I wasn't recording this!
And, now, for the joke tonight...
Steve - I see your "reading dog" and raise you a blonde.
(Apologies to any blondes in the diner... Nothing personal, just your standard blonde joke.)
"A blonde, brunette, and a red-head, robbed a bank. The police were hot on their trail, when the three of them ran into a barn, and hid in potato sacks. When the police entered the barn, they couldn't see the three suspects, only three potato sacks.
Three officers, splitting up, went to each of the sacks. The first officer using his baton, tapped the sack in front of him. It had the brunette.
The brunette, thinking fast, started meowing and hissing.
The second officer also tapped the sack in front of him, and the red-head, also thinking fast, started barking and growling.
The third officer, following the lead of the first two, also tapped the sack in front of him. This one contained the blonde, and the three were captured.
Why???
Well, the blonde, also thinking fast........
(Dramatic pause here......)
Yelled........
POTATOES!"
Yes, I will leave now.
Hope all are well, and all have a good night!

Work Was Slooooooooooow! Only one new customer today, but a good one! If I did the math right made a extra $110.00 in Spiff money.
Health Front Off to the VA Wednesday to meet with a Dietitan (ever wonder why the word Die is in Dietitan?) to help me understand what is going on with my blood sugar.
