By the way, this is the depot I modeled and I made a youtube video of it:

Boris the precipitation is on it's way to you, It's snowing at a pretty good clip here in southeast Baltimore. We already have an inch+ on the ground in the first hour. The good news is higher temperatures are supposed to be on their way as well. It supposed to finish off as rain late this afternoon.Good morning y'all. 28° and cloudy. Looks like it's fixin' to snow. 1to 4 " are predicted with Snowmageddon #5 State of Emergency in effect. Rather than keeping the roads open, the politicians invoke rik management strategies to keep people home. That works for people who are paid for snow days, or telecommuters, but not for people who are actually required to show up at work, in order to get paid.
Yesterday, my wife had to take the MIL to the doctors for a routine visit. She came in to inform me her car couldn't start. I went out and found the battery had insufficient current to turn the car over. I could have jumped it, but there remained the possibility it would not start again at the Doctor's.
So, to find a replacement battery. Auto Zone and Advanced Auto did not have the battery in stock. Fortunately Pep Boys did, and I was able to get it for a really good, below Internet price.. Changeout was a snap, and the car even retained it's memory during the changeover. I took the core back and got my deposit back before the afternoon was over. I was shocked to find that an H6 battery was so hard to find. This reflects a problem with brick and mortar stores, "If you don't have it in stock, you can't sell it." Not everything is conducive to Internet sales. These stores are supposed to cater to gear heads and auto repair joints. ???

Louis' got a girlfriend, Louis' got a girlfriend!Good morning Everybody!
It's 34, with mostly cloudy skies, it feels like 29 with 5mph winds from the east/northeast. Barometric pressure is 30.57. Humidity is 39%, the dew point is 19 and visibility is 10 miles here in southeast Baltimore. A winter storm warning is in place from 4am-7pm. We are expecting 2-6 inches of snow followed by mixed precipitation turning to rain when as the temperature rises.
That report would have been more entertaining had it come from my favorite weather lady Taylor Grenda

Willie, there are some attributes that no one has ever successfully ascribed to me, Normal and Gentleman being two of them.Good Morning All. 36° and cloudy but not raining. .60" fell yesterday in an all day slow drizzle. Sunshine returns later this morning and high temperatures back into the 56°-62° starting today, but additional rain coming Friday.
Nothing really new from the train shed, continuing with scenery.
Here's a couple of other businesses in this new as yet unnamed town.

Both are due for a little upgrading as they have been in storage since I originally built them.
Greg - Have you considered using utility poles to possibly mark the uncoupling magnets, rather than relocate the structure?
Justin - Good to see your post. There's always time for trains.
Beady - Always good to get a positive report from the doctor. Take it slow and easy, you'll return to normal soon.
Curt - The building continues to look great. Like the real thing, you're just adding and adding and adding!
Tom - Those show participants did a great job on their modules.
Garry - Sorry to read about the dental pains, good to read that the root canal seems to have helped.
Ray - Stay safe.
Everybody stay warm and have a great day.
LOUIS: Thanks for appreciating my photos. I try to change them up and keep it interesting. I don't want to get
in the rut of posting "the same model of railcar #1000 thru #9000". If I do, then I'll stop posting pics, but
that might be awhile, as I have many. Thanks again for the comment!
As for the weather girl. She reminds you of your wife and that's fine. I saw it as a attractive lady and
would rather watch her weather report, other than an old, pudgy, bald headed guy . . . . . like me!
Yeah, well, I ain't no spring chicken.Beady: I don't think you want Sophia calling you now - she's 84!
Louis: I don't feel bad about how I look, as I don't look that bad. I painted a bleak picture of myself, in the name of humor.
Thanks, but I'll stick with Mrs Beady and Sophia. I'm very aware of my physical limitations.Lurking in the corner this morning!
I'll just leave this here..... for Louis and Beady.
Good to see you old buddy, I was about to call you, I was getting worried. Saved yourself from me you did!Lurking in the corner this morning!
I'll just leave this here..... for Louis and Beady.
I knew you were joking, I'm getting to know you, that is until you throw out the next curve ball.Yeah, well, I ain't no spring chicken.
Louis, in reality, Mrs Beady and I both feel perfectly secure in our relationship, not least because we know what we both look like naked. And yes, we've had that conversation. And, for the record, she can take off with Colin Firth any time she wants.
Here's an interesting exercise: Have a seat in any shopping mall for an afternoon. Whenever a couple passes, no matter who they are, remind yourself that those two people are attracted to each other.

You have a knack for giving me a different perspective on things.
Beady beautiful young ladies can be tempting, but I found the girl of my dreams, the love of my life and I could never "perform" with anyone else.
Believe it or not I still get a few pretty ladies coming on to me when I am working, lonely young housewives mostly. I have been offered to come in more than once, but my answer is always the same "sorry honey, I have packages to deliver".
I know what the deal is, I'm 6'8" and I look fit in my black amazon uniform, but if they saw me coming out of the shower they would be disappointed, hell I'm disappointed!
