You know that you are getting old when you visit a Nursing Home and they are playing Music that was at the clubs you went too to pick up chicks. That happen yesterday when I went to visit Dwight and Joe.

Tinplate ToddlerCan there be a page "0"? Doesn´t everthing start with a first page?
Yep, it's like patient zero, as in the start of AIDS, but wasn't really true.

Just looked at the local bar/concert venue. Wow names from the past:
"I see nobody on the road," said Alice
"I only wish I had such eyes," the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able so see Nobody! And at that distance too!"

RideOnRoad On my screen, the page count goes from "0" to "5", which is quite unusual, wouldn´t you say so? Tinplate Toddler RideOnRoad Is it just my imagination or are the page numbers correct on page 5? Nice catch, we are on page 6.It seems that the page 5 bug goes away when we expand to page 6.

York1Did it rain in Atlanta today? Red sky in the morning?
.
Yes, it has been raining every day. Also, that picture is taken looking at the Hartsfield-Jackson airport from Sullivan Road. The jet exhaust can do some amazing things to a sunrise.

York1. Finger bowls in the diner. I had never seen or heard of such a thing before that. 2. Toilets that, when you flushed them, you could see the the ground rushing under the train. My mother told me not to flush when we were stopped at a station.
Yes, well, the finger bowls were necessary because there was really no wash room in the diner. Youd have to walk all the way back to your car before you could wash your fingers.
Through the Floor rest rooms are no longer allowed. Imagine having those on a jet liner.
LIRR had a sign not to use the toilet in the station ro in the tunnels....
Well once upon a time a woman HAD to go just as the train entered the tunnel.
Have you ever heard of back pressure?

Good morning. A nice breakfast of sausage and eggs after the morning's two-mile walk.
I saw the blue heron fly past. I haven't seen it in a while and thought it may have moved, but it's still here.
UP's Big Boy is coming through Nebraska over the next several days. It will be about 30 miles north of me on Thursday, so I should be able to see it. One advantage I should have is that I don't think there will be many people to block the view. The reason? There are no people living here.

The mail person just brought the July and August copy of MR. After leafing through the July edition, my hands were all dirty! No, I don´t have sweaty hands, this is just a cheap print quality, more like news print. The second thing I noticed is, that I don´t like reading the aricles, not for the content, but the print is too small for my ageing eyes. I bet I am not the only one finding it difficult to read the magazine.
It´s a shame!
Well, I´ll be going for a midday nap! See you later!
cudakenThought it was because of the Smoke Fluid so I was running it on a paper towel with alcohol. Got a little carried away and broke a traction tire. Far as the Nut Driver? I think the person that packed it up for shipping may have been sipped on to many Crown Royal? I will check the other nut drivers I have from the same shipper in just a little bit.
Sorry, I must have been a little fuzzy-headed. If you are going to send away for more traction tires maybe get a few chuff sensors, too. They are very fragile, though, so be careful if you install them yourself.
I can see where running the engine on paper towel would mess up a traction tire. They will overheat and stretch pretty quickly.
Just when you think you're going to have a good day —

Good Luck, Ed
Weighmaster Ulrich, I'm glad for you getting home finally! My 3-pass was in 1992, and my AAA procedure 8 weeks later. Yesterday was my first night home (except for June 8-10) since May 16. The docs did a revascularization (artery bypass) in my right leg, followed by an amputation of my right big toe. Then to rehab for 11 days, then home for a bit, followed by another bypass in the left leg. Finally then, 20 days in rehab (extended time due to newest incision opening up at the top). I'm especially happy that you have Petra to come home to; my Kathy passed in 2015. Gary

Gary, I am happy to hear from you. I do hope you are on the road to recovery!
I am starting too feel much better, but without Petra to support me, I don´t think I´d still be around. We will celebrate our 35th anniversary in a few days and I would not want to miss a single day of all these years.
SeeYou190I woke up this morning in Atlanta, Georgia to an amazing sunrise. . Can you imagine how beautiful this would have been over the Atlantic Ocean?

Good evening.
Got my rear drivers side door fixed on my 97 Saturn, yes I drive a 22 year old car.
( cheaper than buying a new one) The latch had broke with the door shut. The only way you can get to latch to repair it, is to take off the outside "skin" off the door. The only way to do that is to have the door open. So the Saturn shop manual says "cut the outer skin, repalce the latch, replace the outer skin" Well I was able to remove the inside door panel and both the inside and outside window weather strip and I had a long skinny screw driver that I was able to push the latch mechanism and open the door. I then removed the latch and had the door bungee corded to hold it shut. I lucked out the U-pull-it junk yard had one Saturn and I got a new latch for $5. I had the door at the junkyard apart and the latch removed in less than 10 mins. ( since I had done that job before. ) I had the new latch in in about 20.
I really like my Saturn and plan to drive it for many more years. I had to fix the A/C on it earlier this year as the clutch coil went bad. I got a new to me JY compressor and it works fine now. ( yes I have all the A/C tools to do my own work)
That is about all from my neck of the woods.
Hi Everyone,
Havent posted in awhile.
Timmy: Oh yes, a person can easily spend $5000 on a range, and more. Really high end ranges are around $5-6K for the std 30” wide models 36 to 48“ models can be around $7-8K. May I be so bold as to inquire what brand she got? I’m guessing Thermidor, or Dacor, or maybe a lower end Viking, all superb ranges. Are they worth the expense? Depends on how important it is to someone. But, there is a definite difference between them and the lower priced lines.
Ulrich: glad you’re back with us. Denmark sounds great. Hofentlich, Alles wird gut Gehen. Probably horrific grammar, but hey, I tried.
work front: all up in the air. The company has merged with a couple of people, so now we’ll try retail AND wholesale again. We’re at exactly the same place at the same time this year as we were last year. I see no good coming from any of it. Nuff said!
Hello to everyone, and I do mean everyone, and I hope everyone is OK and safe.
Jim (with a nod to Mies Van Der Rohe)
Flo, give the gang and I a please and Ed a Crown Royal.
All I did today is cut the front yard and my rail spike is in the drit? Did more running than I wanted afterwards.
Went to see two of my neighbors in a nusing home not far a way. One named Dwight and his house is right next to me and the other one is Joe that lives across the street. It was a short visit because it was lunch time.
Ed To refresh your memory the traction tire's on the B&O Adams where made by Walthers. Had them installed by K-10 Model Trains. They where not the correst traction tires. The Adams could only pull 3 Heavy Weight cars? Thought it was because of the Smoke Fluid so I was running it on a paper towel with alcohol. Got a little carried away and broke a traction tire.
Far as the Nut Driver? I think the person that packed it up for shipping may have been sipped on to many Crown Royal? I will check the other nut drivers I have from the same shipper in just a little bit.
I am all so going to ask BLI about fixing the Chuffer's in both the B&O Presdent Adams and the PRR I1sa. They need to get there stuff togather pretty qucike or there in deep ash pitt. I can live with a silent diesel but not steam!
Later, none smoking Ken 70 days and counting.
Track fiddlerLittle Timmy. Where the heck have you been hiding out? Good to hear from you again
On top of loseing my internet, I also have been putting in a LOT of overtime for the past 6 month's. ( My wife really seem's to enjoy all the money flowing out of my wallet ..... and into the new house ! )
I did mannage to "sneak" a new Model die casting Three truck Shay into the shop while she wasn't looking...
If she can sped $ 5,000 on a stove ( yes... that's right.... I said $5,000 ) then surely I can be "allowed" $45 for a locomotive .... right ??
Rust...... It's a good thing !
maxmanThe idea is to walk in backwards.
It's ok .... I threw a LARGE Hearshy bar in the living room.... and while she was "occupied" I ran to my shop !
I woke up this morning in Atlanta, Georgia to an amazing sunrise.
Can you imagine how beautiful this would have been over the Atlantic Ocean?
Good Evening!
I´ll be heading for the hay soon. Tried to get into this forum a number if times, but with no luck.
Hope everthing works better tomorrow.
Good night, Everyone!
RideOnRoadI have a question for the powers that be. The Page 5 Problem has been around for months, if not a year or more. Are these forums running on some home-grown software, or a purchased package? If it is a purchased package, has a defect report been opened? It seems like a fairly annoying bug that should be covered if you are paying for the software.
I'll third that!
I have a constant internet speed of 220 to 235 mps, and this site is the slowest to repond of all the places I go on the WWW. Takes forever to get in sometimes. And then, about 2 times a day, it just doesn't respond and can take 15 minutes to change a page.
Rant over, I'll go back out to work.

Ed, thanks for the video. It brings back great memories of 1958. My mother and I rode the UP's City of Portland to Tacoma to see my sick grandfather. I believe the City of Portland was just about exactly the same as the City of Los Angeles trains. I've mentioned before, three things still stick out about that trip:
1. Finger bowls in the diner. I had never seen or heard of such a thing before that.
2. Toilets that, when you flushed them, you could see the the ground rushing under the train. My mother told me not to flush when we were stopped at a station.
3. Walking between cars, you could push a panel on the door, the door would automatically open, and then you could stand on the moving floor.
That trip is the main reason my favorite train on the layout is the Kato City of Los Angeles pulled by the E9 A & B locomotives. I get great memories everytime I run that train.
Good Monday Morning.
How about some random scenes, with dubbed sound, of a few western trains to go with your morning coffee or beverage of choice?
There's a few great scenes here. Enjoy!
Regards, Ed
Good Morning All,
A regular and a blueberry bagel please Zoe. Not much ambition this weekend - too hot and humid even for me. Did do some scenicing and retaining wall construction for the layout though.
Watched the womens soccer game but when the Watkins Glen road race got preempted by the delayed Daytona NASCAR event, I went back to sleep.
Lion, that rerailer looks mighty flimsy. Reminds me of the designer the CFO worked with that designed a new automated milk caser for a local dairy company. When all the suits were assembled and they turned the machine on it took six milk containers and smashed them to bits putting them through a too small apeture. The engineer turned to the management team and told them "I only said I'd design it, I didn't say it would work." Think I might have done a dry run the day before the great unveiling.
Time to pick up tools. Ciao, J.R.
