Well I see were still here has anybody taken any last pics of the old place before its gone. I understand there not going to demolish it now for a while so those who might not know will find a sign telling them where to go .

Even though I'm a newbie to the shop,its sad to see it close.Anyhow I'm pretty sure that the new location will be a good place to get a cup of coffee and chat.Will the girls be transfered to the new location?

I took some shots before I left.

Good Evening All

So this is it! It's been a good run and I've met many nice people here and had a few visits from as  far as Texas (Teffy) and Missouri (Siberiamo). It's been an excellent adventure all the way back to the beginning when Elliot decided to make a go of it. Hopefully the new place will retain some of it's ambiance and warmth.

Lupo: Good to See YA! as you were one of the first patrons and one who I have missed dearly

Here's hoping everyone has a very healthy and prosporous New Year

I'm gonna miss this old Coffee Shop. Funny how you can become attached to a place. I almost feel that I'm leaving part of myself behind, farewell, old friend.

Posted by Robert Langford on Sunday, September 18, 2011 4:32 PM

I recently bought three

I recently bought three SFX004 Soung bug Plug and play decoders. number one was pluged into a 282 ateam locoder.equiped with a Digatrax dh123 decoder--no sound. Next I connected Numbertwo directly to track out put (MRC-DCC) system. Had a smakk puff of smoke, and a burn mark on the SFX004 Sound decoder. number three still sits in the package, afraid of destroying it. Any sugestings?  I have two factory installed Locos one steam one diesel, They are great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
