Good morning modelers from around the globe. A warm sunny morning here in So. Central Wisconsin. Topping out today in the high 60’s and after 4 days of waking up to frost, there was none this morning.
My addiction to diet Dr Pepper isn’t as bad as I write! I usually only drink one in the morning. Sometimes but rarely, one at lunch. But the terrible issue of being on the last 6 pack of bottles is annoying. I know, I am spoiled. I could switch to diet Wild Cherry Pepsi and I have a 6 pack of that but it is just not the same, I like my diet Dr Pepper. This morning I received an email from the local beverage distributor saying if I can stop in today or tomorrow there are 48-16.9 ounce bottles waiting for me, no charge. I am a happy camper! I have been a Pepper drinker since Coke switched their mix and then went back and called it Classic Coke. I have no clue what Coke is anymore but IMO the Diet Coke is undrinkable.
Trains, I am totally confused on my next steps for the layout. The tree tunnel and the Papermill complex will stay the same. Everything else MAY change. I thought about underneath staging but nope not happening. So a clean slate of paper and the sketching starts over.
milw-Steve, welcome aboard. Don’t let the modeling here intimate you, let it inspire you to better your skills. Heck, none of us started out great. But we all seem to want to get better. Learn from that. JazA, showed you her early work from across the pond, she is an excellent modeler and her scenes are very well done. I enjoy creating a scene, on the layout.
Willie, I enjoy diet A/W root beer and that is in the fridge. But in the morning since I don’t do coffee is the diet Dr Pepper or diet Cherry Pepsi because they have caffeine and IMOO taste similar to the originals. All other drinks for me are caffeine free. Diet A/W root beer is # 3 on my list along with no sugar diet 7UP. Terry drinks diet caffeine free Pepsi as will I sometimes. Basically 2 sodas a day and much straight water.
Heading out for a walk. Have a wonderful day. TomO
