Good evening. Went to 89°,this afternoon, as I struggled through some yard clean-up. of course, expecting a power washer to perform, after it sat unused for four or five years, is a lot. Yard is already looking better.
Willie: Nice work. Great photography, cool barns. .
Curt: H21 and GP7 are nice. Always a pleasure to see PRR stuff. Happy Model railroading,
Garry!
Ken, VA: Finally, the system is almost in your hands. hope it works out for what you wanted it for. Meanwhile, it's what? 12 and a wake up?
Justin and Chet: The phone spammers have figured out that people are more likely to answer a local phone call, vs. someone far away. We frequently get calls from our
"neighbors" in Rahway. Problem is that while our phones have Rahway numbers, we live down the shore, some 38 miles away. Since Conrail closed Linden Yard, and Amtrak closed Union Tower, I don't know anyone in Rahway, so I don't answer. Never any voice mail either.
I have read that most of these calls originate off shore, which circumvents regulations. Do not Call, really is unenforceable in any event, so the best thing is if you don't recognize the number, do not answer.
Natasha finally got her meds, My parts donor cars finally arrived, all is good.
Now that I have my "Interior" for the 6 Section - 6 Double Bedroom and 6 Double Bedroom lounge cars, all I need is to find the rest of the parts. I'm going to build or rebuild two Walthers Metal side Pullmans from the '70s, with pre-war interiors, modern Walthers Pullman trucks and New England rail Service underbody details, in either PRR or Pullman Pool Color schemes. I may actually create a build thread if things work out.
I built the 6-6 with Central valley trucks and truck mounted Kadee couplers back in the 80s, Looked good, but in my impatience to get it on the road, I never lettered the second side, nor installed an interior. Over the years, of sitting in the box, it fell into disrepair. Time to fix it. The other is a model of a car class that still exists, with several in museums or private collections. Most were NYC markings, but at least two ran regularly on the PRR between DC and Montreal.
