Hey guys,

Okay, so I lied, I'm back with pictures of that Grain Train today!! Here's one shot of it I made on to railpictures.net:

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=125040

I've got one other shot too, that is just a slightly different angle that railpic's rejected as being too simmilar to the first one. I guess I see where they are comming from, but I'll give them a few months, I'll resumbit it, and hopefully they will except it, having forgot the first one!

Well, I'm going to get going again for the night, being sick I think I'm going to turn in early. I'll see you all tomorrow.

Hey, nice shot Noah, I was at TRAINFEST yestaerday!!!!!!! It ROCKED!!!!!!

I saved up my money ALL of last year so I could buy stuff @ trainfest. Here is what I got-


KATO Union Pacific AC4400- half price !!!!!! [:D] YEAH!!!!!

ATLAS MASTER SERIES SD24 High hood- in Burlinton- as I have a 60s train going to run at our model railroad club- Also half price!!!!!!!!!

A make your own tree kit!!!!! I'm finnally doing scnerey!!!!!!!!

A bunch of detail parts for my Kato SD40-2s... I installed MU cables, trainlines, a correct plow and painted the grabs yellow so far- more stuff to come.. those things are my pride and joy becasue I put a lot of work in them...

The only thing my weekend is lacking so far is RAILFANNING, but my dad has some errands to run in our neighboring suburb of Des Plaines, and that place is full of railroad activity, and it's a nice sunny day, so I am going to bring my camera and see if can get lucky...

Glad to see things returiong to normal....

Chris, Glad to here you had a fairly good day at trainfest!! I elected not to go this year, both because I didn't want to make my Dad spend the money for gas when there was nothing specific I was looking for, and I just wasn't as interested in going this year as I have been some other years. I am definately planning on going next year though, as my Local Module Group will hopefully be showing a layout there!!! I hope to have two modules built by the time Trainfest 2006 comes around, and hopefully have lots of money saved up to spend!!

Glad to here you have a sunny day around there too. Up here it's cold, windy and cloudy, the three things that make for a miserable fall day in Wisconsin. So I am just planning on sticking around home tonight.

Hey Noah, I will look for you and your Module next year!!!! My dad is in the shower now, so I should be leaving soon, maybe I will see a train. I just took a break from the SD40-2 I am working on- if you read my other post, I have one done- Mu cables, plow the works, and I am finishing up the second one. I have stabbed myself three times now with a pin vice. OUCH!!!!

rgroeling, I am new here and would really like to getin touch to talk trains.

[Noah Hofrichter]

Chris, I take it you are like me, you enjoy superdetailing locomotives. Besides the price factor, that is one of the other reasons I buy Athearn Locomotives, because I can superdetail them. I am in the process of superdetailing and custom painting a WSOR engine right now. The hitching point, and the reason that I am not yet done with it, is because it's so darn hard to match the WSOR's Grey!!

Hey guys,
It was a awefully cold day the past few days, with wind gusts as high as 50 MPH!!! It even caused the new hanke trucking building to colapse, all they had was the wood framework up, and it fell right over in the wind!!

They are prediciting snow for us for Tomorrow Night into Wednesday morning, and I say, Bring it on!!!! I get money for shoveling snow, and I need the money!!!

Well guys, I can't stay l long, School work keeps me hopping tonight. See ya all tomorrow.
