Hi Gang,
Well, it has been a while. I was a member here when this group first started.
Wife has since passed away, I retired full time, computer crashed and I've gotten grumpier! :( I just got signed back up and don't know who all is still here, but I did note that Lady Claudia is still posting here. Hope to be talking with you soon, Lady. Chief Jim

Thanks to all that have welcomed me back. Being off-line hasn't been much fun, expecially with no one in the house to talk to. Hasn't been exactly the way I had thought retirement was going to be, but being without a computer has done wonders for my modeling! A couple of my favorite things are putting loads on flatcars, loads in boxcars and weathering rolling stock. Since April, I have done a couple of dozen cars for people in my RR club and I have 3 presently on Ebay (all close on Monday). All 3 have met at least the minimum bid at this point, so I have made back the cost of posting them and still made a reasonable profit! :D
One of the problems that I have been having has been to come up with enough scale-size chain to bind down the loads, at a reasonable price, however. But I have solved that dilemma for the time being this weekend. I found 2 necklaces at a G sale for $.35. Then today at another sale, 25 more chains for $1.25!! Oh Son, I'm stompin' in tall cotton now! :p Ladies, I can assure you, that you are always quite safe when you are in my company, but you might want to keep a close eye on your jewelry!:rolleyes: Chief Jim
