Running Bear's Coffee Shop LIX
- Thread starter bnsf971
- Start date
Must've been during a slack time in the yard and they told the engineer he'd have to do some weeding if he wanted to keep his job.
LOL, TOOT ..Think he reached the "end of track" and ran over the marker.
Here's another Blue painted Locomotive #12.

Toot ... That was funny.
Chet .... That reminds me of the famous flying F3 !
Just as well they had the forethought to put in carrier deck restraining cables.

B]Good evening Rail Setters & Spike Drivers,[/B]
Five days late and $5.00 short.
Hi Flo & Francine, my two favorite waitresses here at Jeffreys' Dinner.
Have either of you seen the running bear's go by? Some coffee and a Apple Fritter if you would.
The Weather here is down right cold with a lot of moisture in the air, last night dropped down to about 32* and think it will do the same tonight. I'll check WW. Lets see what they say?
Mostly Cloudy 47.3 °F - Feels Like 47 °F
Wind Variable Wind from SSE 0.0 [?]
Precip. -- in
Pressure 30.14 in
Visibility 6.0 miles
Clouds Clear
Windchill 47 °F
Dew Point 47 °F
Humidity 98%
Rainfall 0.00 in 12-10/11 -- 1.12"
Snow Depth Not available.
I didn't get quite as much as I planed on doing done but did get the wood pile covered with some fairly heavy black plastic to keep it dry and I cut it long enough to cover a full cord of wood fairly well. Just in time too a my buddy Joe from about 25 miles away is going to bring over a load of wood tomorrow afternoon. He did and gave me quite a workout stacking it and he even helped too.
I wanted to get the starter put back on my tractor but a young fellow who is 14 and very interested in trains stopped by so I wound up talking with him and let him borrow a couple of RMC magazines as well as giving him other information that will hopefully be helpful to him.

You may appreciate this short story ...
Garry:[B/] Love the joke! LMAO and everyone I've told it too!
Afternoon All,
I have been thinking about adding a passenger station back onto my layout. The siding I want to put it on is currently a passing siding in front of my yard. It can hold 4-65' passenger cars and motive power without obstructing the main. In this photo the tracks going under the station would change to the T/O would go away and the thru track would become a short stub that stops in the area of the yard office. I have a series of 4 photos and I'm not sure if the station is too large for the area. What are your thoughts?
In this photo the track under the platform goes away. The track to the left of that is partially removed and bends to the left to join the track with the red cardboard "switch"
Here is a dry run.
Ken: That's a good suggestion and one I've used also to gain needed space.
Sauced: Sherrel's suggestion is fairly good option.
Sherrel: Baseboard heating does work very well but if used much it sure does run up the electric bill, and mine are the 220 type which are supposed to be a lot more cost effective.
Willie: Thank you for your Patriotism in remembering all those brave soles who went through that day! Sorry for being so late in posting this. Glad to hear you got the needed lumber and supplies you need for your layout.
Ken -Bruce: It possibly could be a lack of Vitamin D which various supplements have in them.

Garry: LMAO Too funny!!

Ken: The head light lenses look great as well as the mounting discs. I was going to suggest trying a hole punch but was a little too late as you already thought of that.
Mel: Interesting shot of the well used engine house.
Sherrel: So much for making a favorable impression on his buddy! LoL
Garry: About your St. Petter story/joke, funny as hell to me!! LoL
Continued:
Bruce: As Garry above said to you, loosing our parents is a tragic situation. I lost my dad January 9th, 1989 and I still think about him often as well as my Mom whom I lost in August 10th, 2011
Garry: LMAO Too funny!!
> > >
Good morning. 28*F and sunny with a westerly breeze in central MD.
Thanks Curt and Willie!
I did a test install in the same F-unit #4546 that I've been working on since I started this project. Snapped a lot of cell phone pix, was up past midnight getting them cropped and uploaded to my website - here are two of them. The first one shows what it looks like with the clear styrene "glass" cover and the light turned off. It actually is countersunk, it just looks like it isn't in all the way. The second photo shows a closeup with the headlight turned on.
I've decided to start a separate thread to avoid hijacking the Coffee Shop with this topic!

Afternoon All,
Did several chores around the house this morning and later was up in the train room staring...staring...staring. I think I found another possible location for the station. The downside for me is that it is on the main. I'll take a picture of the location later in the week.
The left side of the station has been cut off (freight house side)
I hope everyone has a good night.

Afternoon All,
Back from Patrick AFB. Always a boring drive. Not much else planned for the week. I should make a decision about the passenger station tomorrow after some more staring...staring...staring and some measuring.
Chet- Nice job on the crossings. I will give that a try. You know you have bullet proof track when you can do that with a train.
Karl- I have been known to do that before.
Justin- Going anywhere special on vacation?
Milw113- Outstanding video.
Johnny- No problemo. See, I speak a second language.I wonder if part of the decoupler problem is that the magnets are too close together? I see a experiment in the future!
I hope everyone has a good night.
Good morning,
2 Splenda, no cream please.
I saw some footage of the Army /Navy game, got a big smile watching our next President and his involvement. A rare sight indeed.
BBL gang, every one have a goodun!
Karl: Our New Patriotic President and the Army/Navy game. Finally, someone we can be proud of to lead Our Nation!! Hoorah, Hoorah!! !! !! The last one was a TrueBrainFARTY.
*Be 'very cautious' about the use of Splenda and it's toxic side affects.* A couple of links to review, especially Dr. Mercola:

Feeling kinda stuffy this morning. Had a hacking cough yesterday, I think from smoking a few cigars on Sunday while watching football in a friends mancave.
I might just take my laptop and go back home so I don't spread whatever this might be to others who have families.

Good morning fellers. It's a brisk start this morning. Next two days are going to be brutal as the highs will be in the 20s with wind chills in the teens. Added some more trees yesterday around the camp houses. Ofcourse when I moved one the front steps and porch support fell off. Irked me a little bit. I still have yet to build up my dwarf signals. I've played around with them some. They are 3mm LEDs I kinda wish they were 2mm instead as they just seem a little out of scale to me. I really like the Stewart F7 as well. I would take it over the Atlas one. I may add another GP35 or two to my fleet. I like the small nature of them. Still waiting on a determination from Athearn on what is going on with my RTR locomotives. Found out yesterday I have a 10 year span amongst my models. I didn't even know that. To my knowledge only one is used and that is my C&O unit. The other two were purchased new. Learn something new everyday.

There was a transition from the Blue Box models to the later RTR DCC ready with Quick Plug. I had a GP40-2 with grabirons etc factory fitted which still had the openings in the pilots so the shell lifts off without removing the couplers, same as the BB's, and a GP35 that was from the Quick Plug variety, both painted in the Kodachrome SP colors. Looked identical as far as details were concerned, but obviously from different production runs (still have the GP35). The original Genesis line used the same shells as the RTR's when they first appeared, have some from each too, can't tell the difference just looking at them.
Morning gang.
SWMBO'S birthday today, started the day with a cold shower, water heater died.
Guess who's getting a water heater for her birthday.
Oh, yay...
