GISBORNE: The first steam train to carry passengers on the East Coast in six years will chug its way into Gisborne this weekend.
One hundred and eighty passengers will travel on Mainline Steam Tours’ special scenic excursion aboard the J1211, through the Hawke’s Bay region spending the night in Gisborne.
The line had been closed to passenger traffic since 2001 it was only at Easter that Ontrack decided to reopen the line.
To mark the occasion, the vintage locomotive will stop to give way to Gisborne’s vintage Tiger Moth.
The 1940 DH82a Tiger Moth was built in England and once flew for the RAF. It was brought to New Zealand for topdressing duties during the 1950s. When it was retired, a syndicate was formed to restore it and keep it in Gisborne.
Gisborne is the only place in the world where trains give way to planes, because it is the only airport where a main trunk line runs across a runway.

Thank You Steve! I am proud to announce that The Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western Model Railroad has just passed all the requirements to become a "Golden Spike" recipient. All that is left to do is the paperwork........ (Get the signature of the regional AP Chairman and he will send it off to National). When the gentleman got here and started to look at the layout, his first comment was, "Your backdrop clouds are better than mine". I then realized he was the person that I learned the technique from at a Lakeshores Division Fall Meet a couple of years ago. He seemed to really like everything he saw. We talked model railroading for quite a while and then he invited me to get a ride in a cab of a locomotive at a museum where he volunteers..... All in all, a very enjoyable day!!!

'Freidian slip' there, Ken?
Ray - congrats on the Golden Spike, knew it all along you'd get it
On the DCC front, I learned consisting today. But for the life of me, I can't sync the speeds of my two locos - I have to make sure I run the faster one as the lead unit. I tried posting a question about it here and on the digitrax forum. No nibbles yet. If I don't hear something soon I'll have to post it on the (*gasp*) MR forum!

Didn't realise what I typed
I did mean the outdoor yard (grass trees, swing and slide for B, shed for me Vege's for Jan) and then thought maybe they could start a Garden RR for me Yes Chip all talk, I will one day get a plan together, to busy watching the tv.

OK finally figured out the speed-matching puzzle, need to finnagle the settings on CV2, CV5 and CV6 till I get a nearly-perfect match. Making sure the lead unit is just a teensy bit faster than the trailing unit.

G'nite!

Good Morning everyone..... oops. Good afternoon everyone! I've been catching up on all the little errands and stuff that needs to be done around here today. Had to do some shopping, get my ears lowered, and stuff like that in between waiting on the cats (medication, food, etc.).
The National weather service said this morning that the Finger Lakes would have "some cloudiness" today. The cloudiness is falling out of the sky at a pretty good rate at the moment. This is three months in a row where the rainfall has been almost double the average. Droughts over! As soon as the flooding stops, I may have to mow my lawn. I have managed to be the last one in my neighborhood to mow my lawn again this year. Yes! The record still stands!
