Afternoon Gang:
Philanrunt: Welcome back. It sounds like you had a great time. My uncle was at Hickem Field on 7 Dec. One of these days I'd like to go to the islands.
Fergie: How about some more info on the Hudson? Are the Alcos 244s or 251s?
Dick: It sounds like it's a good thig you are on a hill. We are getting some rain here and are expecting some more sever stormes later.
I made my last haul to the county barn this morning. That makes 4 Saturday, 3 Monday and 1 today. I'm starting to see the end of cleaning up. I think that the fall clean-up day maybe the last one that I'll have multiple loads. 91 years of farming and ranching does great a mess. Of course I didn't help by hauling all that free lumber in. I'm a pack rat.
Well Mary Ann and I are going in to Ft.Worth for here check up and we'll stop by Verison. I hope that that works out. So Long for now.
What a difference a year can make. This is my original trackplan for the layout I'm working on now. It was filed may 17th, 2006.
And this is how it turned out. This was filed April 4th, 2007.

I was replying to the post above mine..and why don't you mind what you do...i've been here a very long time and do talk about trains 99.99% of the time and don't need the "sidewalk society" to police my comments
Good afternoon everyone...37F and misty showers here.....winds have died down to 7 mph and streams, rivers and brooks have started to recede. We have not heard from Der John who lives right on the ocean, so I hope he is OK
FERGIE: So you will not be on the FOX anymore? That experiment that you mentioned sounds like they are monitoring the North Atlantic Conveyor. I know that Climatologists are very concerned that with all the glaciers melting at the North Polar region, enormous amounts of fresh water is flooding the polar region and may shut down the Conveyor.....and that is NOT a good thing at all for earth's weather patterns. Salt water is heavier and sinks, fresh water stays at the surface, so enough fresh water can, nad has in the far past, shut down the Conveyor with drastic results. I guess you won't have any great pics of bergs and landscape from the high Arctic anymore huh? And you have a short memory laddie....at last New Year's party in the olde Coffee Shop, it was "you" and "Flip" and "Ed" dancing on top of the tables that really got us all in trouble!!!! Right Ryan, Mike, Paul, PC, RT, Jeff, Duke, Jim, Bill, Sue, Chuck, Kathy, Garry,JP, J.R., Luc and Der John? No Colby, you were not there...you were too young remember?
Later,
Well, everybody's talking about VA Tech everywhere, and the diner includes lots of non-MRR stuff. So I think your okay, CW.
Happy Model Railroading everybody.

Good stormy afternoon Diners! We’ve got a fair breeze of wind, as they say on the Rock. Not very much rain though, we’ve had worse! And NO SNOW!
So, thanks for the concern, Dick, but as I said in my email, I’ve been tied up with scratch building the Interlock Tower from that photo
I had no idea it was going to be so complex a thing to do. Right now I’m building the stairs. I’m wrapping them around the building, having moved the upper door one wall to the right. I don’t want my staff being blown off that long straight one!
BTW, what goes inside an interlock tower? I mean what sort of thing could I model in there. The windows of the model show an empty expanse of floor!

Hey, DerJohn, this might give you a starting point:
Although the Faller original (Walthers Part # 272-12011) is in Horribly Oversized and currently not in stock, you probably could fake it fairly well in iNvisible scale...
Good to hear that you & Kris weren't washed away up there.
Hope that helps you figure out something!

The government is too tough on gun control laws.

Yeah thats what we need everyone carring guns to school that would really solve the problem to me the laws we have are about right in fact maybe a little tighter and this nut wouldn't have had a gun but the toss is he'd found a way anyway the bottom line is it wasn't the guns or the gun manurfacture it goes back to the goverment and us not being tougher on our kids and teaching them right and not slapping there hands or telling them to take a time out as punishment if your going to punish and teach them do something that they learn from and I'm not even trying to hint to beat the out of them but back to where they learn by example and proper punishment if it means warming at behind so be it if it means no tv for a week or 2 so be it if it means what ever . I see kids too rude today and no disapline at all.
By the way all stress test went fine so wife can relax and stop stressing out

Vigalinty Justis!!
Howdy,
Rt.............. glad the stress test is okay!
Paul says he's a pack rat. What's that about???? A model railroader .... is also a pack rat? ....... Has that happended to anybody else? .............nah!
...then Fergie talks about memory. I've got a funny story about that topic. I can't recall it now, however.
Jerry....... bet you like those DPM models.
Der ....................wow ..... what a view! ......... that NS coast is just terrific!
Anybody have a trackside diner on their layouts??? I suppose I could put a sign on my restaurant naming it Elliots. Where did that name originate?
Bye
Hello everyone. Thanks again for the warm welcome back. Nothing for me, I've done ate.

That's alright Jim, didn't think you'd forgotten. I figured you had delays with it.
Well, still no work done on the mrr, yet. Hopefully I'll get started on the design this year.
And, I may have another job. I had a interview at my local Brookshire Brothers grocery store. It might not be a great paying job, but it would provide me with more money. Oh, I'll be a stocker/sacker/bagger if I do get the job. I ask for your prayers with this. As I can use the extra money.
Until next time, Robert
Robert: I haven,t said Welcome Back . I've been having problems with my ISP dropping the connection so I try to make my replys quick. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I will say a prayer for her. So you're after a new job. I'll have a good thought for you on that also.
Well I got the Verison Wireless now I have to up date my XP to sp2. I called my buddy Gary and he has the up date on disc and will bring it over tomorrow. I talked to the Verison tec and he said that on dial up it would take all night to down load the update. I may try it anyway.
No MRRing today so no progress to report.
It's raining now,coming down pretty hard as a mater of fact. I won't complain, we need it. At least the house isn't going up,down and side to side like Fergies doing.
Well I'll head out and see what I can get done else where. Maybe even get to the basement.
Here's something I like. Good thing their trailer is still available.

A cup of coffee to go.... please

Evening, I'll have a barley pop please Cleo,
I'm not going to try n catch up with all the post, to many. It's good to hear from Fergie out ta sea, glad things are going ok, and the engine made it ok. I do remmeber some of last years eve, but not the table dancing bit. Must have been napping in the corner.
DER, you were wondering bout the inside of an inter-locking tower, the first two are of an electric powered that was still working till the day they cut the power
Next are of one powered by armstrong
Their of the Springhill and Haley towers, both are still saved in Terre Haute, Ind, if you want more info holler and I'll find the links
RT, glad the test came out ok, I never had much guestion on it otherwise, hope you n your wife enjoy da trip
Need to get going [CFO wants on here] still got some chores to get done, early kids tomorrow
inch
Howdy do all.
I spent 4hrs @ the shop on my day off to finish sanding and getting the party room ready for paint. Our first party for the room is may 5. I've found a new Doc but need to get a copy of my file before I can make a visit possible.
BTW- Didn't Colby's enging look a little PINK? Could've been the quality of the forum, but ya know.. Watch out Fergie! Someone might be trying to show ya up! LOL.
Jeffery- love those pics! You've come a long way & its looking really good.
Colby- All kidding aside I think those shots you took are cool. Keep up the good work.
My 8yr old told us that she wants to be baptised!! That is ssooo great and her grandfather who is a minister wants to do it. We're so proud.
RT-GREAT NEWS!!
SUE- Love the Lab. My 1st dog was a golden lab and she was a GREAT pal! She passed away a couple months after I moved to TX. Left her w/ my daughter in Kansas but I was the one she couldn't live without. Still miss her but when I get a bigger yard I'll get another one.
I rejoice in all your triumphs and am saddened at your trials. My prayers are with you all.
Trent
Check out this cool building in the next town over from us! I'm thinking I might have to model it as a fire station for the layout sometime. I model the late 1920's, so it would be perfect. What do you think?
