Yowzers. It seems that our THUNDERCHICKENS are being thoroughly degaussed in Fla today. Looks like a little refeathering is in order!
The MTH track is O31, but the center Lionel stuff is 27 that I have spaced each curve with a straight.
Ummm, wasn't plannin' on scenery. Maybe someday on the tenth of never paint the plywood gray for a "yard" operation. Soon as I pick up more plywood, (shoot that stuff is expensive nowdays!) I'll do two more sections elevated to stretch things out with a grade.

.....Adrian, you seem to have your new table loaded rather well with some nice {027...?}, equipment....Won't you have to remove it all as I'd expect you will really build a "real world" scene to support all the train action.....
Been home for a week straight now, so the other day went up to Harrisburg and picked up some of my ole belongings from ma's house. Headed over to Home Depot and loaded up some wood after clearin' out 3 trucks worth of BS from the basement. Kegerator chillin, neon signs plugged in, and man cave comin' together.

Houston Ed.....Look at your Facebook page to see an "old" railroader.
Peace be withi you. 60 and hazy in Carolina, up from 53 at 0800. It is expected to make it up into the low 70s later. My weather toolbar has croaked and I don't have the instant forecast anymore.
A belated birthday greeting to Larry. Sorry I'm late.
CW, I can relate to your brother's back problem. I have a congenital defect that makes walking or standsing very painful. I played school football for 5 years, pulled a tour in the navy and worked in construction and never knew I had it. One day, I was lifting a plumbing fixture and it shouted HEY, HERE I IS at me very loudly. It has grown progressively worse over the years, Now, I virtually live on pain med. Please give him my regards.
Everyone take care and stay safe.
Hi all. Reporting in from Sunny Shepherdsville, KY. I'm not even sure what the current temp is, but its really cool outside.
Joe, thanks so very, very much for taking care of things in here this week. From the way things look now, it'll be sometime next
Wednesday for I am back home. When my brother & neice picked me up Monday morning, we ended up taking him to the ER: he isn't sure what he did, but he messed up a crushed vertabrae in his back, and could hardly walk. He is on muscle relaxer and pain pills. Seems to be doing a little bit better, and is planning to go back to work tonight.
Everyone take care, and see you all when I can manage to get in.
BC thanks for putting the coffee on.Juice and breakfast is ready.going to be a warm day here.Guessers say rain the next 3 days.Time for bed.need to go to town this afternoon.matt also has an early dismissal.Mookie your deex train has moved on.
Well, good to see that I am not the only person up at strange times...dang chemo induced insomnia....
We are getting rained and winded on again...after a mainly dull day blossomed forth with sun..in time for sunset....
This morning will be rainy and cold as well as windy..supposed to stop raining later in the morning and be variably dull for the rest of the day...
jeffrey....We have started to catch up a bit on the deficit of rain much of this Summer...Really destroyed crops and any thing that grows in this area....Including my really nice lawn.
It too has come back, but has a way to go yet to equal where it was before the drought. Grass is nice and dark green, just some spots take longer to fill in.
Believe we're to have a pretty nice sunny day tomorrow too.....
ModelcarI don't care for the weather scenario you just described....Clear skies here, and I just finished mowing the yard about an hour and a half ago....62 degrees then.

.....Thank you Bruce.....I don't care for the weather scenario you just described....Clear skies here, and I just finished mowing the yard about an hour and a half ago....62 degrees then.
Good to see you around Quentin.
We have a snow storm blowing in. In the last few minutes you can hear the wind making haunted house sound effects against the building. The wind came up so fast that fallen leaves that had been on the ground are now soaked and have blown up against my living room windows. They were talking about winds of up to 50 mph last night. The last report I saw was 45° but it has obviously gotten much colder than that in the last little while.
Larry.
If you folks get a chance, check out the thread on the old road/rail bridge at East Coulee. That was the end of the line that used to run past our station at Irricana. I hadn't seen pictures of that bridge in colour before, that I can remember. After everything that has been going on around here this past six months, seeing pictures of that part of the world kind of brought me up short for a few moments.
Hope everyone has a warm good day.
Bruce

.....Walt, that's no fair. You're breaking my records. Had an FM antenna in a box for about 5 years before I got it out and put it to work...
And....I have at least two pairs of shoes in boxes...One pair, I've never opened since I brought them home...That must be 7 or 8 yrs ago....and another pair, that I have looked at, but they are not getting any use either...Wonder why we do such things...? This last one is a pair of Rockport type tennys....black...just the opposite of what I use each day for general use....They are very light tan....Seems when something works for me....I stick with it. And I'm not hard on shoes.
Edit: Noting Walts comment of Larry's birthday...I pass on my best wishes for a good special day for him too.
Another edit: Note a roller working over on the Roanoke Hotel cam view, what looks like a removed prior Passenger platform....Perhaps was concrete, Now it's rolling the surface that was below the concrete....Are they preparing to redo a passenger platform.....? Can't {so far}, figure out just what is going on there}. It's ongoing now for several weeks.
