hon30critterI'm on my cellphone so gathering photos to post is a bit of a pain. I'll have to wait until I'm home from the hospital to contribute to the thread. Heaven only knows when that will be.
I hope for a speedy recovery, Dave! I'm supposed to go in for a heart valve replacement sometime early next year. After the whole prostate/radiation thing I'm really not looking forward to more of the same... welcome to the Golden years!
Like Deja-vu all over again! I just bought a new phone AND a Windows 11 laptop. So far I've done pretty good at transfering files and settings to the new devices. The phone was a bit of a hassle and I'm certainly not a smartphone 'power user' by any stretch. I had to download a transfer app from Samsung but the phone said I didn't have enough room for any more downloads. Odd since I don't think I've ever downloaded ANY app (I called them 'programs' in MY day).
So I found some kind of automatic cleanup routine and I let my phone delete 'less frequently used' apps. There was like 150 games, a bunch of weather and news sites plus a hundred or so shopping apps. I certainly didn't download all that junk. For all I know they were already on the phone when I bought it.
Anyway, I just installed a 64 gig micro SD card so I hope to at least have a little room for the few photos I might take with the silly thing. My days of lugging around three SLRs are over.
How about a fun 2-8-0 kit?

Hi Ed and everybody
Ed - Thanks for moving the Diner!
I can't believe it is September already. The time has flown by. Fortunately we still have several weeks of nice weather ahead of us.
I have decided to forego the pleasure of a large roundhouse on my layout simply because of the amount of real estate one would require. Instead I will have a two stall engine/car repair shop with a separate machine shop and paint shop, all of which I have scratchbuilt and are now awaiting painting, detailing and lighting

In the interim, let's see what everyone else has to offer.
Cheers!!
Dave
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Let's kick things off with a great Kodachrome from the efforts of Jack Delano.

That must have been a real challenge to shoot color (was it ASA 10 back then?) in a dark shop with mostly black painted locomotives. Thanks, Jack!
