Willie You can't post people on the beach when members batteries are dying and it's -31 below zero wind chill.
James I wanted to go but I can't go now with the condition my wife's in. My friend Pat will be going 2 days. I told him if anyone there is selling grade crossing gates pick up a pair and I'll pay you when you stop by the house.
Boris I going to have to look this up. I thought the loco was smaller than the regular GG1? Maybe it was just the color? I thought it was green just like the one in the photo pulling a New Haven passenger train. I do remember one thing you could not see the engineer from the fireman's seat.
Dave after all this I think that's what I have now. A waterlogged tank. Just one question. How do I fix it?
The T/O is supposed to be here late Friday so that will be a weekend project. We're going out to supper tonight for SIL 55th birthday.
as I recall draining all the water out and then refilling it. Better yet, replace it with one that comes with a "bladder" which is an air sack that will prevent further water logging.
No need to ask. Train room is the answerJust ask the wife which she prefers, you having a Train room or a Punchbag in the lounge.
Paying it back. Thankfully I am in a position to maybe help out, but that’s his choiceAfternoon All,
Started out with the morning walk at 44F and currently 71F. In the train room today, I put together the accident scene and photographed. It's an homage to what I did for so many years, and it's my layout.
Joe- Nice photo.
Smudge- At least he got off the tracks.
Patrick- Sounds like the counter kid was trying to get out of the warranty replacement.
Willie- I hope you have a lot of water features for all the bathers.
Dave- Nice layout shots. That was a great movie.
TomO- You're a good man trying to help out someone in need.
Swal- I think it's just the photo perspective.

I hope everyone has a good night.
I have notes for your info. Thanks. Never know what I might find. You know me, always looking
Shut off the pump. Drain the tank. I usually vent the tank, so it doesn't pull a vacuum. Once drained, close all openings and start the well. If you chlorinate your well, add before closing. There is an air valve, at least on ours, that I usually have to change out once a year. WE have some very hard water, and it destroys the rubber diaphragm in the valve. I added an air chuck like on a tire. I can add air pressure when needed.
You're not thinking of the New haven "Jet" motor. They were newer GE products with bi-directional cabs. I believe the NH had 10. PC used some in NHto GCT commuter service, until one caught fire in GCT. Then they were banned from passenger service. PC ran two in freight service, one between Morrisville and South Amboy, (A-1, A-2), and the other between Morrisville and Greenville, (N-13, N12).
Definitely the camera angle. The tri-level looks a tad short also, eh? George, trust me, they are all the same size. I spent a lot of time on them.
Nice scene with the accident, all the cars in the same era, even the outfits fit the eraAfternoon All,

If the kid owned the store...maybe, but too many of them think they know best.
An auto parts store where I worked suffered a rash of defective batteries, and word came down from the district manager that no matter how “bad” a battery was, we were to tell the customer “it just needs to be charged more”.
