Okay, listen....nobody in my shool even knows I like trains.

It is the same here, nobody knows about that either. All they know is that I am a huge car fan. They do not mind that, because there are a lot of people in my school that are gear heads, and I pretty much fit in with everyone, except for the goths. I have my exams Wednesday, thru Friday, and I get out at about 9 am every morning. One day I am only going to have only on exam, so that is good. The only exams I have to worry about are Spanish, and Math. Science I will have to study for, but not as much as the other 2. I am heading out the door soon to the varsity basketball game. I hope I see Jackie there, and the best part of this week was that she broke up with her boyfriend, so I am happy about that. I cannot wait to go down the shore this sumer. Gab, Em, Ali, Jackie, Megan, Alyssa, Keith, John, Sean, Will, Mike, Ryan, Greg, and some more people will be down the shore at the same time that I will be going. I am really happy about that. It will bea lot of fun.

Wow, quite a bit of new posting since I was here last!

James, Awesome drawing of the WC locomotive man!! That is sweet!

I never worry about people knowing I am a railroad fan at school, in my opinion it’s too bad if that don’t like it, I don’t really care. I march to my own drummer. Most people don’t really look at me as being any different because of it 99% of the time, they just think it’s weird when I first tell it to them. I always just figure if you really want to know me you should know my interests, and one of those is trains.

I had an early release today (And exams are over!), so I got a bunch of work on the module done, mainly scenery wise. I can’t wait for the meeting of my module group tomorrow. It should be pretty cool I think, it’ll be the first time any of us have had much for scenery on our modules at a meeting.

I’ll post a few shots of the module after I get a little farther along on it.

Well guys, I’m going to head out. I feel like working on the module some more.

Good for you!

Noah-I believe that PennFan is using that in a sarcastic way.

Nothing to report today, except the fact school was as boring as ever, what's new?

I'm going railfanning tomorrow with my friend at Greenwich and Willard, as explained a million times, but the forecast shows Saturday is going to be a slight chance of rain. Of course, but all the other days are clear---go figure! That's the way the ball always bounces. But hey, at least we have a car to sit in! Our parents already set it up. I'll try to get shots and post them on here.

Sorry for my abrupt absence, but I need my Avg/Day score to go down. I now it's only 3.76 and it may seem like I'm exagurating (spelling*), but I'm always told (Alec) that my Avg/Day score is too high! Alec, remember in August when you compared your Avg/Day score to mine to humiliate me[:o)]? LOL

I am going to work on my garden railroad, and clean parts that arn't converted to stainless steel.

[tmcc man]

PennFan, what do you run on your garden railway? I have LGB and Aristo Craft right now, but am looking into USA now. Nothing beats LGB quality though. I am building my garden railway outside this spring.
The game was at 5, so I missed it. Darn.

[Anonymous]

I run mostly Aristo and Usa Trains. Usa beats LGB by a mile, and Aristo beats Usa by a couple miles, in my experience.

[tmcc man]

I do not have USA yet, but a person I know from my GRR club said the Mighty Moe, and the GP9's are bad. I do not know if I agree with that statement about USA beating LGB, because LGB is VERY durable. Well, that is your opinion, but mine is that LGB is the best, and Aristo second. I would only buy the GP30, the F3's, and maybe the PA's. Of course I would have to put Phoenix Sound in them, as I did in my Aristo Craft RS3. Man I love all of the technology that has been presented to the Model Railroad industry.

[Anonymous]

I don't have the Mighty Moe, but my geeps that I have are excellently running models. In fact they are some of the best running models that I have.

Richard, At least in my opinion, 3.75 isn't a bad average. Three or four posts a day isn't bad, it's just when people have 6 or 7+ posts a day, then it seems a bit much to me. I don't know about Alec though. We'll have to see if it passes the "Alec inspection" LOL [;)]

Just kidding Alec.....

Ended up having to Shovel snow since I was in last. We got a freak snow storm that dropped about an inch in the last 4-6 hours, and it stopped, I think for good based upon the weather radar, and so I went out and shoveled a little. Made a little money to spend at the hobby shop tomorrow too......

I'm going to do a little more work on the module. I think it needs a little more glue, or I'm afraid the foam will fall off easy. See ya all around.

LOL, I better not see a 'G Scale' topic starting here, LOL! Of course you know that by saying this, I'm an HO modeler! Athearn and Bachmann all the way! Oh yeah, and Kato!!!
