Ford has no RWD cars here other than the Mustang, but Chevy has started importing Holdens as Caprices. Just as police cars for now,
but next year rumor has it a "civilian" version,
with a Corvette motor, capable of eating BMW's in a single gulp,,,,,Should be interesting
Hi Fellas, long time no see!
I was having some extreme pain in my shoulders, and thought that it was the beginning of an RSD Crisis. That's where the damaged nerves just start sending pain messages for no reason at all, at a much higher and stronger rate than "normal". I went to my Neurologist who thought that instead, it was Orthopedic in nature and he got me an appointment with one that very day. After a series of x-rays, he determined that I had a very bad case of bursitis, with impingement of the shoulder and that had spread the inflammation into the 4 rotator cuff tendons.

To top it all off, I got re-ended by someone while stopped at a red light, last Sat.
It's nice to be back, but it's still a trick to try to do something like type, so you may find that some of my answers to question may be short, as it, right now I'm still basically using one hand to type with.
C Y'all Later!
Maybe its time I upgrade from an XP machine on the layout anyway.
. Hopefully the PT will help you get back to your earlier functionality.

Having grown up somewhat near these areas were a number of the shots were taken I'll try and give a bit of naration to them to help get a better understanding of where they are at. David Smith
These next three sots I believe are taken showing the train as it drops down into the Simi Valley from Santa Susana pass but I'm not 100% certain of that as they could also be from in the Ojai area which is to the north of the Simi Valley or even as the line heads over towards Camareo where I think the line starts to follow the coast more as it heads North?
I grew up in Woodland Hills which is about 7 miles South of the actual start of Santa Susana Pass on the Valley floor. These two shots are taken a fair ways up the pass though, I think not too far from the top as it heads over towards the Simi Valley. I'm fairly certain the higher hills you see in the background are the Santa Monica Mountains which are South of the Simi Pass area by about 8 miles and separate the San Fernando Valley from the Pacific ocean 14 miles farther South. The home I grew up in was just off Topanga Canyon Blvd as it headed up into the Santa Monica Mountains and through the Canyon and came out on Hwy 101 or the Coast Route. If you turned Left you went down to Santa Monica but I don't recall there were any track that crossed Topanga Canyon shortly before reaching 101 and I'm almost certain there was no rail line you went under a bridge either as the hillsides to the North if you turned Right were composed of nothing but sand stone and washed away with heavy rains, which I heard about on the news a few times over the years.
This shot of the Daylight is taken as it climbs the grade of Santa Susana Pass from the San Ferando Valley floor below. These last two shots are inland by at least 20 miles from the actual Pacific ocean. The rail line is on it's journey over these hills and then down into the Simi-Valley. To get a better idea of the grade in this shot hold a straight edge so the lower edge just sits on top of the smoke stak and keep it parallel with the bottom of the picture and the lower edge should come out on top of the last truck of the second car so it seems fairly steep at that point!
This second shot is farther up the pass I believe but I'm not sure if it is farther up from the prior sot.
Ruddy day here. Cold & windy all day, tomorrow might get over freezing, but its supposed to be 60 on Sunday?
Took the day off today, sinus issues sent me home early Monday and straight to bed. Up & down today, but now I feel better.
My old PC that had not real job except to run JMRI and make programming easier too a dump, I press the button, nothing happens. Yes I did make sure it was plugged in! New power supply is needed I guess. The last one I installed had a 3 year warranty, but that was 4 years ago!

. I understand where you are coming from. I need something for my layout, since JMRI and MRC now "talk" to each other, but I can't find anything that's cheap and fits the location......and the Maple leafs got their butts kicked big time (9-2), by Nashville. .
