Not a bad haul I thought.

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.

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
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
Well need to get going going to clear this room out some today
Must be a Baldwin - looks like the box it came in (jusst kidding).
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.
Mornin' all!
I'm off to the train show! Have fun! I know I will!
Good Morning Jeff,
Did that TT Font work for you?
Your missing the baked beans and hotdogs on your English breakfast, LOL

Good Morning all, just coffee for me...
I dug a swale last night to divert the rain water and things look pretty good here, it can stop raining any time.
OZ JIM: The local TV stations here are calling the storm in the western Australia, your "Perfect Storm". Too bad you can't build a large reservoir in western Australia, like our Quabbin Reservoir here in western Massachusetts, to catch all the rainfall and runoffs for use in the east via aquaducts.
JP & ED : Drew was seen here in Boston area yesterday looking at real estate....tell you something? As for Randy Johnson, it doesn't surprise me one bit. He really didn't do the job that the Yankees expected, plus he had some health issues, and for what they are paying him, and his age, I think it was a wise move. I look for the Yanks to pull off some big deal for a top pitcher real soon.
Time to hit the sackaroo, we will see you guys in the AM, BTW, it is after midnight here and it is 56F (14C)......this is CRAZY for New England in early January...I was out in my "T" shirt today.....never did that before in January.
Hey all. Not much happening with me. I'll just have a medium Pepsi.
We didn't get as much rain here as predicted. Which is a good thing. We've had enough 'round here for awhile.
See y'all later,

Thanks, and yes, it is!
Cox 47: The low here in Ohio tonight is 50F. The high temp for Sat is 51F. Not normal at all. Normaly Lake Erie is frozen at least 2 miles out by now. Our 140' Ice Breaker is enjoying the light work load so far this year.
Oz: By 2pm we had 1.5 inches of rain today, the river will be at 17feet by 8pm and flood stage is 12.4 feet. How much water shall we send you?

Ryan, Great reminder of what is to come. If it would dry out enough out here, I would probably mow to level the lawn. Today it is raining and 37 with snow in the rain and 30-40 mph winds. So they say that the globe is warm. Hmmm.
Phillip, When we go to a train show my husband has to slow me down because am ready to buy everything with NP on it. At least we have decided to get R-T-R rolling stock. You can go straight home and test drive it.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Good day diners...I'll have a strawberry shake, thanks..
Well there isn't much happening in Oz except on the other side of the country, yesterday a superstorm hit the west australian coast, it formed from a tropical cyclone and a tropical low joining together and making a 2000km storm front 'a once in a generation' event, they got almost 200mm of rain 24 hours or about 8-9 inches and also wind gusts upwards of 110km/h the storm is slowly moving across the country but is unlikely to hit the east coast.
In other news, Our two main water supply dams, Lake Wivenhoe is at 21% capacity and Somerset Dam is at 30%, if we get no rain by May 2008 the dams will be bone dry. we need at least 50mm of rain to just get run off and 100mm to increase the dam levels 5-10%, they haven't been full since 1999 so coming up 8 years. The dams hold about 1,500 million megalitres or something like that, so there is alot of water normally.
All for now Oz..

Evening all -
Nice weather we're having here in the Northeast so far. Hit 62 here today - record was 60! Suppose to get near 62-65 tomorrow (record is 61) before cooling off late tomorrow afternoon.
Lee - Any chances you can send me particulars (and pics?) on the 2 Conrail GE's you're trying to 'dump'? I'm a CR fan and am going to have CR and a few others on my layout once I get it that far.
Dick / Ed - What do you think of the Yanks latest move - Johnson back to Az?
Well all, time to go get some grub.
Take care!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

Grayfox: I do a lot of business there so he was willing to do a deal on them. I bought them more or less sight unseen. They all run fairly well but need a little work, nothing major. One of the RS3's is a Santa Fe (blue-yellow #2099, the scheme I don't like very well.) The other is a SP Black Widow #309. The 2 F7A's are both SP (Daylight #6441 and Bloody Nose #6352)
Good evening everyone, can you believe it actually CLIMBED "up" in temp since 3pm!! It is now 58F and hit hit 60F in Nashua, New Hampshire smashing their alltime record for this date. News flash just came in on the 5pm TV Channel 4 out of Boston, it looks like a Tornado hit South Carolina, it showed cars tossed around and tipped over on the main highway like toys, no deaths reported thank God.
PC: That dinner looks just fine for me thank you !
Hey guys! Dinners on me!
How's Chicken Marsala sound?

Couldn't you just cut around the box that a loco comes in to expose the wheels, then just paint the box? Who'd know?
