Trains - real and model - trains!
G'day Gents & Ladies (of course!),
A hot mugga Joe, black, with some of that crumb cake, please.
Another chilly start to the morning here in near-mid-continent USA; 25 degrees (F) - same as yesterday; expected to get into the 60s later on. Got up to 47 yesterday with mostly clear skies.
Been etxtremely dry in these parts with the threat of fire ever-present in the wooded and grassland areas. If it ain't one thing - it is always another!
Spring has oh-fish-ully arrived for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere with the Vernal Equinox occurring at the Equator. Down-under, well y'all will have to wait 'til September for your Spring to arrive; we are opposites dontchano?
Sitting here with my thoughts along with the background chatter and the tunes from the juke-box provides a comfortable setting for some reflection. Nothing profound, just drifting into this 'n that.
Yesterday I began posting some fotos from my former HO Can-Am Railway; they are on the Layout forums for anyone interested.
Before dismantling and selling off and/or discarding everything in my model railroad collections, I ensured that my foto library (liberry for those a bit challenged with the spoken word!). Anyway, my plans are to continue posting and will expand into the other gauges as I put together the images.
Progress with my newly constructed Lionel O-gauge layout continues with ensuring all the Fastrack is secure without "dead spots." One thing I really miss is the flexibility of track - this stuff ain't. Anyway, I am getting there and all three (03) of my sets have been tested and run well 'round and 'round my oval-in-oval "unexciting" routes. Pleases me though as I sit in an old "executive chair" with a slip cover, listening to CD's on my 5-disc player - life is good (or I should have said, "Mo-bettah than it had been."
I never did receive a response to my Email to the Forums requesting some advice regarding this 'n that for posting fotos. Nevertheless, I figured it out and hopefully have not "violated" any "house-rules" and so forth. There ought to be a MRR Forums for Dummies guidebook! I know, I know - there is a bunch of info available - just a matter of finding it!
Okay - 'nuf of this as I will get going on whatever this day has in store for me.
Enjoy, folks!

P.S. Forgot to mention that I have managed to get thru all of the postings for this month and left my "likes" along the way!
