Good Luck,

Okay, I have a question for the adhesive experts in the diner. What would you use to glue a foam board to drywall? (Not necessarily a MRR question...)

cudaken Train Front Gosh I have way to many rolling stock! I have around 50 cars just setting off the rails on the layout so I could clear room to try to run the PRR Pullman cars. Another 110 that have been packed up for 3 years now? Yet I am still dragging around or have 100 cars sitting on the rails?

That reminds me of what my rolling stock table looks like. (Not that I have that many, but I still probaly have many too many cars.) Especially with the fact that they will have to be moved shortly. (Mom & Dad are moving off the ranch into town.) Family drama that is probably out of bounds.
Even with that, I still have managed to get a few more pieces of rolling stock. (A new flat that will be bashed to a wheel car, the plan for which was started before all the headaches. A new engine that might need a little bit of work. A bid in on a gondola car.)
Got to go help with some of the drama in about half an hour. Should be interesting.

It weighs about 50 pounds and about 20 pounds lighter than the Pioneer Spec 4 amp that goes with it.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Hello everybody. ...
Ken. ... the coupler boxes were jiggling up and down on mine. ... you might be lucky with yours. You can try them to see if there is a problem. Maybe yours will be okay as is. ...
tomorrow is my wife’s birthday . We already celebrated last night going to dinner with friends .
I ran trains for visitors from out of town. Not too many problems with the layout this time.
Good night.

It was slow at work as well. Only one customer. They bought so it was sort of a good day?
Heartland Division CB&QThe pivoting coupler boxes can jiggle up and down causing couplers to separate.
Gary Where the boxes them self moving or the couplers in the boxes? Reason I ask is I opened one coupler box and found 2 Kadee 1/10th washer in side. From what I have seen installing a few Kadee #5's would fix the coupler height problem when standing still.
Ed Are you still living the Night Shift life or are you getting to normal hours? I would like to talk to you about wiring. Found these wire strippers at Harbour Freight. While they look the same?

Evening,
Some how my post from earlier today did not post.
Anyway, its been raining all day here today. I got called out to work this afternoon, then made the mistake of going to the grocery store.
I got this beast fixed for a customer, so you see what is on my workbench in the basement....
It weighs about 50 lbs..... It has a nice sound now.
Good evening,
Not much going on, fixed the porch yesterday. Plotted out where my train building is going to be.
Well I'll be lurking around for a little while.
Steve
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Timmy,
.
I'll take some ofn that hash with corned beef. Sounds good.
The diner was quiet today. I started it off early today, but then it lulled away.
Getting ready for next week. Work is going to be bad next week, but I am going to Daytona Beach next weekend, so I have something to look forward to.

Living the dream.
Good afternoon / evening all.
Hello ? ? ? Anybody in here ? ? ?
Guess I'll get my Milkshake myself.......
Was a "balmy" 85 here at the "Hollow" today .... it DID rain this morning ..... for two minute's .
Well, it seem's I'm in the Diner's kitchen ... "Un-Supervised" ! I'll be here for an hour or so ....... cookin up some Corned Beef Hash and scrambled Egg's....
Rust...... It's a good thing !
Good morning, everybody ....
Kevin ... Looks like good food.
Ken .... Its been a while since I worked on Bachmann Spectrum passenger cars. The roof comes off, and I think you are correct about the tabs through the floor holding it on. The pivoting coupler boxes can jiggle up and down causing couplers to separate. I experimented with gluing a strip plastic underneath the end of the cars so the couplers would not go up and down too much. Later, I removed the piviting coupler boxes, and installed Kadee couplers with couler boxes onto the car bodies. ..... The lights will get too hot with DCC power resuting in a melted roof. It is easiest to simply remove the lights, but you could intall resisters.
Ed .... I like the signal tower and the EL SDP45.
Everybody .... Have a nice Sunday.
Good morning diners...
Sometimes SteveO posts pictures of food in here, so I am going to do the same and share something amazing!
I was told about this little restaurant buried in rural North Carolina called Caffe Rel. I made a seven hour round trip from Charlotte on Thursday night to check it out.
Diners... let me tell you... this place is 100% a hidden gem. It is actually attached to a Gas Station/Convenience Store. What a surprise.
I had a Greek Salad, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and a French Style Pork Shank for my main course. Everything was perfect. It was the best meal I have had outside of some of the best restaurants in Atlanta or New York City.
My wife had the Pot Roast Plate. It was better than Prime Rib! The grilled vegetables could not have been better.
It is in a little town called Franklin, North Carolina, and it is worth the trip to get there.
Ken...
You asked
cudakenTrain Front New Pullman cars! Not a single coupler height matches?
I answered: (in your "Longest Passenger Car?" thread)
gmpullmanBachmann cars used a flimsy pivoting coupler box that was pretty troublesome with a link going to the truck bolster. It worked - sometimes - but the coupler boxes would sag and the linkage would get broken easily.
Why are you surprised?
Just sayin —
I hope everyone is doing well.
Recently finished a kitbash of two signal towers spliced together. And, I treated myself to a new Erie-Lackawanna Bicentennial SDP-45

Toasty here in NE Ohio! Last night was 26° low tonight was a balmy 29°! At least it is in the right direction.
Thanks and to those in need.
Regards, Ed
Flo, the gang and I will have a please. Give Rick and Steven what they like and leave a stein outside for Ulrich.
Gary I was looking for post about the Bachmann Passangers cars I saw where you posted you had 12 of them. How do you take the roof off? I seen the taps on the bottom of the cars. Push clips in and pry on the roof?
Train Front New Pullman cars! Not a single coupler height matches? The PRR M1a has yet to drag all 5 coaches around the layout. But I still like them, with some work I sure I will love them!
Later, Ken
Evenin' Jim...
Looks like you and I are the only people here today... Been kinda slow!
Hey Janie!!! How about some decaf, please. Janie? Janie!... Oh there you are. What? Taking a nap on company time? Hmmmmmmm......
I've been sitting here at the computer most of the day putting together the Program for Troop 1's New Eagle Scout Ceremony. I always like doing those! I am the Commissioner for his Troop and have watched him progress through the ranks. This kid has earned 39 Merit Badges on his way to Eagle. Not bad for a handicapped Scout!
Did take some time to shop for some clothing odds and ends today. Needed sopme new socks and underpants. Did some wieght work with the Dumbbells as well this eveing while the printer is printing out some newsletters for members of my NMRA Division who are stuck back in the 1950's.....
Tried on a shirt hanging in the closet that is a full size smaller than what I have been wearing. Fits me!!!! Yeah!
Hope those of you that are missing in action are at least out somewhere having fun!

Brunhilda, I'll have an Earl Grey tea with cream and honey, please.
Hello-o-o-o, any body here? Where did everybody go?
Richard: congrats to your wife for her accomplishments.
It looks like we might get a hint of spring after all. Today was in the upper 40s maybe even low 50s. (Fahrenheit for our Canadian brothers and European friends). I think "normal" here is upper 50s and low 60s at this time of year, but I could be wrong about that. Still not warm enough for my taste.
Nothing to report MRR wise, today.
Hello to everyone, and I hope everyone is OK, safe, and warm.

Evening diners
Things are looking better up here in the Klondike (Minnesota). Yesterday it was 45 degrees. Today it was 55 degrees. It feels like a tropical heatwave. Our 18 inches of snow is melting fast.......GOOD!
I was working in Hopkins Minnesota today. I never noticed TCW before. I seen a long train with three locomotives, TC&W. (Twin Cities and Western I think). I was pleasantly surprised. it seems they adopted the Duluth colors from DMIR. Maroon and Gold.
I think I was weaving a little bit on Excelsior Boulevard watching it.
Well, I am certainly looking forward to Spring as I am sure you are if you don't have it yet.
Take care guys..... Track Fiddler
Afternoon Diners.
Flow, the gang and I will have a and give Steven and Rick what they want.
Steven I hope you can use some of the iteams bought for you and some of my left overs.
I was thinking it was good day, now I am not so sure?
1 Good thing! Fixed the dryer! Open up the back and found a burn out fues. Took the heating element and 3 fues to Terry's Appliances for them to test. Got a $100.00 refund on the deposit for the used dyer and spent $32.38 for needed part.
2 Went to K-10 Model Trains and bought the PRR Pullman cars I have been They are Bachmann Spectiurm coaches and will handle and 18" turn!
Part I am not sure about?
1 While the dryer will now get hot and dry the stuf, timer has stopped working? Wife has no idea if it was working before it lost heat!
2 PRR passangers cars, I thought they where lite? Seems each car has had a wiper removed? Looks like there are lights went looking inside but till I open them up who knows?
3 Obversion Car is going to need some work! It is picking and grinning like Roy Clark! Not over turnouts but even in straights!
Richard Congrats on the wife!
Henery Great work!
Ken, I got your package! Thank you! I appreciate your help!
Afternoon folks....
Janie, I could use a refill for my dark rwost coffee please.
Got up this morning to find about an inch of sn*w on the ground outside... Had breakfast and headed over to the fieldhouse to walk. Put in my now usual 3 miles (that is one hour of walking and 20 minutes of sitting between legs now), came back out and the green grass was showing. Currently 41°F outside going uo to 44°F late afternoon today.
Other than walking through the train room on my way to other things down cellar, I haven't done anything down there in a couple weeks now. I have been working a bunch of needed things for the MLK Scholarship, the Eagle Ceremony coming up on May 5th., and the Division NMRA Meet happening on the same day.
I did get up this morning and waddled down to the little room, used it, and went back to the bedroom and got on the scales.................. YES! I have as of this morning finally lost 100 lbs. YES! I can now clean the cats litter box by just bending over and not have to get down on my knees to do it! (Actually, I have been able to do that for a couple weeks now.)
Took Blackie to the vets yesterday. His blood sugar reading was much better but still a bit high so she upped his insulin just a little. We'll see how that does in a month or so.
OK, I need to get back to getting the stuff done that has a deadline coming up!
Later!
Good morning.
Henry.... That is a coolphoto.
Wow Henry, that is a great looking scene! How did you do the trees?
Sun is out here in WI, but still snow on the ground. Finially getting into the 40's.
The Northern part of the state has 2 to 3' on the ground yet.

GOOD EVENING DINERS!
Today was VERY productive especially on the Model Railroading Front! Went to the Hobby Shop, got two Accurail kits! And later went to Home Depot to get some 2x4x8s for my railroad building, they are $3.43 a board for nontreated! It was $3.39 for nontreated knotted up boards or the Pink ones! I opted for the $3.43 "prime" ones with way fewer knots BUT I had to go through the whole stack to find non warped ones! I ended up only getting 10, I'm going to call the Local Lumber Yard to see if they have them cheaper!
But nonetheless today was very successful!
Afternoon Dinners
Flo, the gang and I will have a please. Let Rick and Steven have what they like and leave a a Stein outside for Ulrich.
Day Off / Work Front. Finally made my self drive to the main store and tell them I have to go part time now that I am on SS. Results where mixed. While they where fine with me working 4 days a week, they did not like the idea I did not want Commission or Spiffs. Some ideas where thrown a round but nothing decied. Have a few ideas that I will call Marvin with Friday.
Train Front Well I was a the main store for longer than I thought. Did not make it to K-10 Model Trains so no new PRR Pullman Cars.
Howdy .... What's for dinner ? .... Prime rib with loaded baked potato would be good ...
Richard... Congrats to your wife....
I'm still doing non-model-railroad-stuff .... Not fun stuff either.
Cheers !
Richard : Kudos to the wife.
Nothing but work, work. I am on call this week but it has been quite nice as one of our "co-workers" has been out for training. we have all had a peaceful week.
Time for a little OH bragging. Mrs. ROR is a lady of many talents. On a whim, or rather at the suggestion of a young lady in our neighborhood, she entered an cross-stitch and a landscape quilt (made up of over 200 individual pieces of fabric, and fabric and thread painting). Long story short, she was awarded First Place for both entries and the cross-stitch was awarded Best in Show. I am a lucky man.
