Good Morning All,
Long day yesterday, went to Ayer Ma to pick up a Caterham for a client - took from 6am to 8 pm including making it able to roll (it's a kit car).
No model railroad work the last few days but I will get to the museum later this morning. Since PC is buying, I'll have the grande especiale with eggs bacon and rye toast. Coffee and an OJ would be good too please. And maybe a side of blueberry pancakes. Yum! CUL,J.R.
Hope you have fun and find what you want. hope you can afford all you want also lol.
Morning all man it rained hard last night about 3 a.m. it woke me up it was coming down so hard. the wife slept threw it (whew) she would have been a nut case storms scare her. No thunder and lightening but heavy rains.
Seems to be clearing up now for a beautiful day

Top of the morning to ya!
We got a cool front during the night and we are @ 48 as opposed to 67 this time yesterday. Rain and wind are the GO words for the day. DCC update- Digitrax is releasing a sound decoder for those of us who don't run KATO. it has both steam and diesel on the same chip which can be actvated by adjusting some CVs for the type of engine. If you want a specific engine whistle or horn then you have to buy the programing/download accessory, then download the file from the Digitrax library.
I'm gonna put one in my new SD 45-2 bicent. Santa Fe.
10:00 gotta open up!
Trent
Philip- Well done. Yeah, sounds like you did darn good.
Hope I can do as well on the 20th at the show in Deland [Fla.] Let us know what roads you got and how well they run.

Not a bad haul I thought.
Sounds like you robbed somebody blind there son think I need to go with you next time lol shame were so far apart.
Thanks all!
I figured I'd best get out of Dodge while I could, so after three hours I booked! Crowds were getting pretty big anyways. I think I scooped a bunch of them though!
HI ALL
HI ALL !!!!! There thats better. I have now read all the pages up to here, took me and Kathy 2 days. COMMENTS
PHILIP
I built my first comp from parts left over in the store room at school Univ of KY back in '51 used the whole garage 2 car plus. The only thing that I didn't have room for was the memory 120mm tape so I put all the parts back. Now we run 80gig in the space of my small closet that is with batt backup. Small world huh.
Secuse me lunch for Kathy.
OKOK ham with mustard 2 old fash donuts a glass of milk.
PAUL
We both pray that you get better.
LYNDA
Kathy says HI!!!! and keep on keeping on and also reminds me of how few ladies that we have in the C.S. opppps Elliots Trackside Diner.
J.R.
Prayers go out to you and the parents from both of us.
ALL ..............Ferguie was in the C.S. before me and I shure didn't make all the MESS,but we did take home some of the leftovers and boy were they good. Not much to report on MRR, Kathy bought us a new camera dig. and printer Epson, works great am trying to figue out how to load to comp so that we can send to you'all.
It is noe 42 deg. and raining next 5 days same thing with a low of 35 at nite, love the coast west that is . At least I don't have to mow the lawn yet. Oldest boy has left for Quartsite Az. to sell his soap at the big garage sale down there, took my big truck and 30ft trailer ,first time he ever drove anything that big.
Well I guess that is about it for now, prayers for all and I didn't make any resulotions. ha ha ha
P.S. Welcome to all the nebies and welcome back to all our old friends
Chuck and Kathy
OK Phil, I hope you went to confession today, because you really stole today!!! Where all the sales people women who fell for such a young handsome dude? I guess I would't stand a chance, it might have cost me $600 for that haul. I want to see the pics.....too hard to believe.
Today we not only broke many records in New England for temperature, we down-right smashed them. I went to church at 4 today in a short sleeve shirt...never did that before in January. It is still 60F here at 7pm...that's right 60F. Global warming is only a myth, don't believe it guys............Ya RIGHT!!
This morning on the way to the club meeting to start working on the corner section of our exhibit's layout, I dropped by Brosnan Yard to see what was happening. Oh, wait, the weather:
It was a horrible day. We worked on the corner and then went to eat lunch. We went back down to the yard and look at this!
But it couldn't last:
Tomorrow it is going to get bad again, and the clouds were already rolling in.
But a good day at the yard.
Hi Gang: I'm all better now and feel normal. I spent the afternoon cleaning out the east side of the corrals. Anyone need some fertilizer? I found the last missing part to the feeder that the cows tore up last month. Now all I have to do is weld it back together. The weather is fairly good. Temp in the low 50s light wind. The wind feels cold on the face and neck but it feels warm when the sun comes out from behind the clouds. Yes the weather is unusual for this time of year. I've been thinking about getting the lawn mower out and doing the back yard. I didn't get to it earlier.
PC: That was a super haul. I'm not going to mention that there is a show in Ft. Worth. You'd probably come down and get all the good stuff.
Good to hear from you Chuck and Kathy.
OZ: The Great Lakes are down also. The lake boats are having to load less then full loads because of the low water. 1 inch of water equals 250 tons of cargo in a 1000 foot boat. That must have been some storm. Any info on damage or injuries?
Well I'm going to hit the sack. Good Night All

I don't know about knocking them dead with my looks. I think maybe it was more like I was Johnny on the spot!
Here's some pics of the haul today. My camera was dying so the pics are kind of rushed, so I appologize.
Here's some heavy duty motive power. Two 2-8-0's and two 4-8-4's: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/N%20Scale%20Trains/WGH%20Show%202007/Picture019_edited.jpg

And they look pretty good close up too, but some cleaning wouldn't kill them: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/N%20Scale%20Trains/WGH%20Show%202007/Picture023.jpg

And who knew N scale Moose were so expensive! $20 for all 4!: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/N%20Scale%20Trains/WGH%20Show%202007/Picture043.jpg
Thats about it!
Can't wait till next year!
Yes it's January and the weather is definately on the warm side and a good thing too as with the rain today if it had been snow... I it would have been a good 2' deep!
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
Later all

Last call for coffee on the east coast......
PC: The pics came out just fine Phil, the camera still had enough umph. You did real good!! I hope I can do as well at the BIG E the end of this month.
FERGIE: At least this weather has given you a great break to get that addition done. Had this been a normal Winter, no telling where the addition would be.
I just saw the end of the Seattle/Dallas playoff game......for those who saw it, or will see the sports highlights later, what kind of a plane ride home do you think Tony Romo is going to have? I think I would walk back to Dallas.
