Whale... You can always bring your train back to Richardton, North Dakota.
We got lots of rail action for a one track town.

Sure it is cold up here, but we got heat and nice big windows, and lotsa wild life.

Regarding ideas for November .... (my )
I think it makes sense to have a large area as we are this month, New England. .... In the US, at least one state. A group of states would be fine.
Lion suggests we do Richardton, ND.... Maybe, it would be best to do ND and SD together. .... Or just say the Great Plains.
Some states such as Illinois have plenty of activity by themselves if we want to go there.
Just my thoughts. I don't own the forum.
We need somebody to volunteer to start November too.
Cheers.

Good evening, all...
Heve we been to Canada lately? Specifically the west coast? We could jump from New ENGLAND to BRITISH Columbia...

It has been forty years since I've been to Vancouver. I might like to see her again.
We could stop in to the Delta Model Railway Club and bring some of Steven's doughnuts and some good Seattle coffee?

The scenery seems to be, acceptable

Flo, give the gang a and I will have some of Jan's White Lighting! Yep, it was that kind of day.
I feel like the captain of the Titanic, we hit the Ice and the White Star Line wants us to rearrange the Deck Chairs! Sent two guys from the warehouse to move a bunch of the stuff around, just great. Now neither I or the customers know where anything is!
Does anyone here have a Paragon II or III K-4? Do they have traction tires?
Later, Ken
I hate Rust
Ed. ... Westen Canada is a great idea. I suggest combining British Columbia and Alberta for the month.
We still need somebody to open the thread . If westen Canada is the choice, I would encourage Brent to do that.
Good Morning!
cudakenDoes anyone here have a Paragon II or III K-4? Do they have traction tires? Later, Ken
Mine is an old, vintage 2005 QSI model, Ken. It is one of my favorite runners. I had 14 heavyweight passenger cars rolling behind that K4 up 1-½% grades without a sweat. Mine did not come with the traction tire installed. It is still in the box.

Take note:
Its speed range matched the prototype, and the model developed a drawbar pull equivalent to 56 free-rolling freight cars (or 18 passenger cars) on straight and level track. After I swapped the rear drivers to the optional set with traction tires, the drawbar pull jumped to an amazing 233 freight cars (about 77 passenger cars). The current also climbed from .22 to .52 amps.
Breakfast is on me,
Pick anything from the menu

Have an enjoyable day,
Cheers! Ed
I will have the A LA Carte.....
Good morning.
Happy Halloween, everybody ....
I'll have coffee and an apple turnover, please
Ed ... Thanks for psoting the PRR menu.
Everybody .... Quickly tell us your thoughts for November Diner. I like the western Canada idea, and I like the idea of North Dakota / South Dakota. . ..... Who is moving the Diner for November ?
gmpullman Good evening, all... Heve we been to Canada lately? Specifically the west coast? We could jump from New ENGLAND to BRITISH Columbia...
Seems appropriate to me, given what I've been working on lately, an article for March's issue about scenery for our Canadian Canyons project layout. And I bet Batman would gladly host us. (Though he hasn't posted in a week...)
Tim Horton's Canadian maple donuts are on me!

The official Gulley Washer for Halloween has started. rain rain and more rain. goodl thing I cleaned the gutters last night.
Just popped in real quick to say I would be glad to host, however, if someone else could open the joint that would be great as I am busy until later on tomorrow.
All the best to all.

BATMAN if someone else could open the joint that would be great as I am busy until later on tomorrow.
I'll be up in the wee hours of the morning so I don't mind turning on the lights and starting the coffee.
You can take it from there, Brent.
I'm looking forward to spending some quality time in your neck of the Province...

Must be the curse of social security. I was making Mel Mini Connectors at 2:30 am. The missing resistors have turned up. The buck voltage connectors and my new order of mini-brushes are in hiding.
It was snowing in the Chama webcam an hour ago. I have a friend in NH who says their fall leaves were bad because there wasn't much rain. Our news tonight was that our leaves are bad because there was too much rain.
Edit I finally found some decent looking MR stuff on Craigslist. Looked like Campbell and FSM kits, but the seller says he wants to liquidate a $100,000 collection as a single sale. He said might break it down into buildings, locos, rolling stock. I'll have to keep an eye on it, but I doubt I will be a buyer.
That said, I am astounded that there were still NIB Plasticville structures at the Timonium show. My love of old and nostalgia does not extend to Plasticville. Nor do I understand the abundance of Revell, Plasticville and other assembled structures that look like they were build by a 10 year old with a death grip on the tube of Testors glue.

Mine used to look like that too, with brush strokes of heavy, but uneven, enamel paint.
Evening folks,
I'm chaperoning my brother and two cousins to Trick or Treat.
I decided I might as well dress up, so I'm T.S. Magnum, only one person has gotten it yet!
I am growing a moustache for Movember, probably won't be anywhere near Magnums!

Naw, it was forty years of round-the-clock, graveyard shift at GE. Sometimes I would pass myself going home and going in to w**k.
I didn't even wave back at myself
Glue? Dope?
Dope_60s by Edmund, on Flickr
"Micro-Applicator" Yeah, right!
Two more people got my getup, and we've got one more neighborhood to hit.
Flo, give the gang and I a please and Steven a fake moustache, a big one.
Work Front Well it was the best day of the week which is not saying much. Had $1125.00 in sales. Just about done with a Clive Clusser book! So not a bad day.
Ed Thanks for the information on the K-4 and I am sure you guessed it was a PRR K-4. Luckly for my Credit Card Debit it was sold when I went to the site. It was $269.00 plus shipping (pargon III) and I think it was a good deal.
Train Front Going to dig in to the BLI PRR M1a again. I think I have to remove the drivers to get to the lower pin for the lower tower gear. Main thing I am afraid of is all the rods that go into the steam cylinders. After studying it a little more, may not be a issue after all. God, 10 years ago I droped a Bachmann GS-4 and had to get new drive wheels from Bachmann. I fixed, so why not this one?
Ed, I remember using every tube you show here.... Exept the Comet glue. First time I have seen that one.
Rust...... It's a good thing !
Howdy .... Just briefly .
It sounds like we have a conclusion for November.. ... Looks like we will visit British Columbia and Alberta. ...... Should be fun. .... Beautiful scenery. ... I can share my Rocky Mountaineer photos. We rode from Vancouver to Calgary in 2002. Nice trip.
Ed ... If I understand you correctly, you will start the thread...... Thank you !
Timmy .... I recall those glues, too.
Henry ..... Regarding Plasticville, I actually have the switch tower on my layout, but I modified it
NWP-SWP .... Nice seeing you .
