I know. And I don't. If I did I'd have given up years ago. About 75% or my lifelong stress has been caused by a vehicle in one form or another.Afternoon All,
Currently 75 and breezy here, so I'm in shorts again. Spent several hours today between spray painting and assembling the interior of the build. I looked at the directions and I still have 2 full pages of directions (roof and eaves)! Although I lived in HI for many years I never acquired a taste for Kona Coffee. To me they all pretty much taste the same. My only requirement is that it's fresh.
Chet- Very nice pictures on your Logan Valley thread. Congrats on your F unit acquisitions.
Jesse- Don't get discouraged, that kind of crap happens to us all.
VA Ken- The module is going to look great.
Joe- Thank you. I haven't started the interlocking machine. I still have probably 3 more days on the current project, then I have a art project for my daughter's birthday and after that I will do it.
Toot- 117 has to be miserable dry or humid.
Justin- The OTC version of that and several NSAID pain killers are normally 200 mg so you can do 800 mg if you want to.
Johnny- Happy Birthday.

I hope everyone has a good night.
You are correct. I was determined to go and find a bargain on something for the layout. Now that I can't, looking at all the stuff I couldn't buy now would just be a kick in the teeth. And it finally quit hurting so I don't need that either. I'll try to catch the next one. In the meantime I'll go to the local rail museum for the Lancaster and Chester shortline in 2 weeks and see if they have their trains running now. Haven't been in a while and the last time there was a power issue.I brung a bag of KONA beans...here ya go Francine, brew THAT for the crew! mmmm good.
Back down to frozen here in the swamp.
It's that WEE "kick out" at the tips of the flex that were driving me batty. THEN I remembered that ya DON'T have to beat yer head against the wall ALL the time, and went with sectional. I know it's "doable" but I ain't do it! LOL
BLASPHEMY! You can't go to a train show and leave with empty hands and a full wallet...it's in the bylaws...somewhere...
Happy Rolling!
Nice looking F units.Good morning. We're just at 32 degrees, Sure beats the single digit temps we've had lately, but there is some precipitation in the forecast.
Johnny - View attachment 64901 This is unusual fro MB Klein, but I am guessing that it has to do with the holidays. I have only seen a delay like this once. Usually have my goodies within a week of placing an order.
Ken - D&J - Off to a good start. That is about the only use of foam that I can understand. It makes a great base for scenery, but using it for a base for an entire layout just baffles me. Waiting to see the progress.
Joe - I did like the article on the commuter rail. I really enjoy the different facets of passenger service, but unfortunately for my, I model the wrong part of the country.
Louis is probably still waiting to have his internet put in.
Garry - The weather wasn't bad at all on the trip to Missoula and back, just crappy roads to put up with. The cold weather never allowed the road to bear off. They did have road crews working oin the inteerstate on the way out and for the most part were clear going home but the sloppy spray was a pain in the butt. Went through a gallon of windshield washer fluid going only one way.
It is nice to see new faces that have come to the coffee shop lately all, welcome to the best forum on the internet.
I had a suprise in the mail yesterday. I had totally forgot that I put in a starting bid of $35 on a Northern Pacific F-7a and a B unit. Won it but was so busy with the tournament, I had totally forgot about it.

It was needless to say used and a fairly good attempt at detailing, but I never saw an NP F unit with a snow plow pilot. It is an older Atlas unit with the Kato drive. The B unit is a dummy. Runs exceptionally smooth, just like my early Atlas RS units. It was advertised as a weathered unit. It just popped up on my phone one afternoon so I only put in the starting bid. I have no idea of what I am going to do with it as I recently custom painted what I needed for my version of the North Coast Limited. Guess I could pull my tourist train with it. I am really running out of room for train storage on the layout.
I have some more photos of the next town on the layout that I guess I could add to my Logan Valley post.
Here's a rail picture for today.

Ain't that the truth. LolVehicles are easy Jesse, women on the other hand, are treacherous. Of course my Daddy used to say, " if it's got t**s or tires, it's gonna be a problem". It's all in how you fix em.

Good evening, 25°, with scattered ice patches. 42° felt real good today.
I still have about one third of my planned layout to build, so I can work something in and create interesting operating and modeling opportunities I didn't initially plan for.
Eric...I was sniff'in around your www again and went and took a look at 'WIX'...Would you say your www was easy to build ?
And if you don't mind...About how much $$$ per month is it to maintain your site ?...Which plan do you use ? Nosey ehhh...
