Chet: No offense, but I was thinking of asking Bob to not allow you to post anymore images of your layout. It makes me feel inadequate.
I ask myself the same question regarding the lighting that I install in my structures!I did ask myself one question about the lighting. Did I really need it? I don't run my trains in a dark room.
Good morning. It's cloudy and 65.
Murphy still lives at my house. I turned on the new air conditioner in the trailer yesterday morning. It ran for several hours, then the fan motor stopped working.
https://www.modeltrainstuff.com/rap...n-national-green-1362-dcc-and-sound-equipped/Good Morning Everyone....rainy in Wisconsin this morning. Just came back from the cabin yesterday and today, we get ready for the cabinet install tomorrow in your kitchen. End date is June 10th I hope since everything was moved out of the kitchen into the living room and dining room. Fast food for duration of the project.
Chet: Great photos of the streetscape LED lighting. I especially like the NP locomotive illuminated by the LEDS. You're correct about the thin LED lead wires being a real pain in butt to install, but worth the effort. The WS vehicles with the operating head and tail lights only need a tiny hole drilled under the vehicle to run the leads under the layout and the wires can't be seen.
Keep the photos coming.
Johnny: I'm sorry that Cathy and I missed the Branson train trip since it sounds like you had a great time. The food looked delicious.
Willie: Crop dusters are interesting individuals. We had one duster lose his life crop dusting near our cabin. Apparently, one of the aircraft's wings became unattached and the plane crashed. The plane was transported via a truck and trailer. He also flew a small passenger plane and flew into the Wild Rose Airport, a grass one runway airport, to see his relatives who live in the area.
Justin: Replacing a turnout can be a problem, but if you just cut out the turnout and leave the surrounding track intact, it can be a rather easy procedure.
Tried to order the Rapido Canadian National SW1200 in the green theme and they are sold out.
Have to run and take care of my "To Do List" first is and is to disconnected the gas line to the stove and move the stove out of the way for the cabinet install.
That's all for now.

Bob - I have always whitelisted modelrailroadsforum in Adblock, but these ads on the Coffee Shop page are the most lame advertisements that I have ever seen! I know that you have no control (or maybe you do) over the content, but I seem to get the same eight all the time. 3-4 about coffee shop books, the latest "Rolling Stone" cover, and the "JTT Super Scenic Trees" that have mostly negative reviews for not receiving what was pictured. At least the ones over on the "New Posts" page are RR related. OK. Rant over, I'll still whitelist this site.
Everybody have a great day.

Still am baffled by this system - why does it iinsist on posting full images when I tell it to post only thumbnails?
They also have an "O" gauge layout that has been built but only has minimal scenery so far.
