Garry, isn't that a great picture? Count Basie and I assume his wife look so happy!...
Louis .... I agree people should always have tolerance and forgiveness, and also they should always believe in themselves. Nothing is so bad that it is not good for something. That's why clouds are said to have silver linings. .... I dot not recognize the man or the woman in the old Lionel photo. Looks like the 1950's .
...
What it is worth department ....... I believe model trains are good therapy during rough times in our lives. I have learned to take "sanity breaks" with my model railroad at times when "bad stuff" is bothering me. It is good to divert attention away from "bad stuff". Eventually, I can put things in perspective, and much of the "bad stuff" is not as bad as I had thought. I am then able to focus on "good stuff" that I was ignoring. ....... Be Happy. Don't worry. ...
Say it ain't so!I'm now a toy train junkie
Patrick, first thing, call me Louis.
I'm sorry Patrick. Try to stay positive, pray for the best. I'll be praying with you.I will try to remember Louis!
Well, they're doing surgery on the daughter on Friday, so instead of being at the hospital, I'm watching the grand kids. Initial tests increased the chance of cancer, but they still don't know. I will know more next week. So far it turning into a crazy week.....
I have Anyrail 6 as well, the free sample, but I like the way SCARM identifies the track better. Since I use Kato Unitrack I like seeing size. Also Anyrail library seems to be lacking some unitrack pieces, or I just don't know how to find them.Hughie, I used SCARM for a bit, but I really didn't care for it. I switched to a program called AnyRail 6. I liked it much better than SCARM. Still has the 50 piece limit, just had a better feel for me.
Sherrel, it easy to miss posts, I do it all the time!
Does anybody recognize the guy in the picture with the Lionel layout I posted earlier?
Saw a couple of deer in the wheat field across the road a short time ago. That will cut into the harvest!
Tell me what you all think.
Joe - I was really happy to have acquired the City Classics' Smallman Street Warehouse structure. I should have bought some of the add-on kits to go with it. It really fits well into any layout.

I sometimes wish that I could say that. As posted before, I have some broad expanses of plywood with just ballasted track running through. That is part of the maser plan though, something to do on those cold winter afternoons and hot summer days. I do enjoy structure building and scene detailing as you might surmise. Scenery overall on the layout is about 30% complete with some spotty scenes in between also done.Running out of areas to scenic with two small areas remaining.

Would be hard to not enjoy working among that.Toot .... The scenery with the MRL work train is beautiful.
