I think the original crappy ones which are replaced with Kaddees are ok both of us researched and put them up on uk sites …cross fingers…..although if you people pick up other concerns I am good as the more you find. Adult and I correct the more authentic it becomes
but not rolling stock ….I think I am having to make it more obvious the good thing is people have not noticed. It so it is not glaring……but eventually it will fall into place….sniggers….

Hey guys, for you fellas who follow my work on Facebook or YouTube, I dropped a video today just to update my followers on what I'm up to.
I do see something obvious, but I don’t know if that is what you are concerned about.I think the original crappy ones which are replaced with Kaddees are ok both of us researched and put them up on uk sites …cross fingers…..although if you people pick up other concerns I am good as the more you find.

Not quite sure what to think . . . . . .
Wifeykins got a burr up her butt.
Scheduled a train excursion. Leaving St. Paul Minn Jan 02 for Chicago and then the Grand Canyon and back via the AMTRAK Southwest Chief! Includes a trip to the Grand Canyon via Grand Canyon Railway. Return to St. Paul Jan 09.
Pricey, like OMG pricey, but I will admit that it sounds like great fun!!
Thoughts?

Omg I missed this until I saw the comments, hope they can get you better, how scary, makes a broken ankle look quite insignificant, look after your self we’ll be glad to see you when your up for it, drop in even if no modelling, if your up for it and can get the connection, get well soon..hug.
One of the pictures shows what looks like a platform protruding almost over one rail. A train would clobber that, and either abruptly stop, damage something expensive, or derail--maybe all three.

Good evening. I am still alive and busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. I have been back and forth up to the northern part of the state trying to make a deal on a place to move to with my son plus trying to get my house sold.
Today was a sad day for me as I demolished the Logan Valley Railroad. I have a dumpster outside and have hired a crew to empty out the basement, including the entire train room.
It sure wasn't fun seeing 35 years of work end but I have to move on. I do have a lot of items that I was able to salvage so if anyone is interested, let me know.
A box of assorted pine trees.
2 boxes of deciduous trees.
Lots of trees
There are around a hundred if not more freight cars, all with Kadee couplers and metal wheels, many of them lightly weathered and I had more vehicles that I thought. Lost count but well over 200 of them, all 1957 or older. If you have seen my layout photos, you will see that they are accurate quality vehicles.
I have to get out of here. Been in the basement all day and the dogs are hungry. So am I.

They occasionally had a desire to steer themselves. Once, one picked a worn switchpoint. and decided to go between two tracks. What a pain in the arse they were to re-rail. I did occasionally pass through that location back in the day. mostly on Mail trains to Kearny. It was amazing how many tracks they managed to squeeze in there between the P&H Branch to the left, and the Greenville Branch to the right. In addition, there was the Anhaiser Bush Brewery squeezed between the Greenville Branch and US 1 and 9.
Garry: That is not good news...Hope they find the cause of the problem. Thankfully the technology worked. you're on the prayer list. Get well!
Curt: The crossing / parking lot is coming along just fine. There is a lot of stress that goes with handling a parents affairs. It's not easy for anyone.
We are in the process of moving the MIL from Long term care to Assisted Living. Seems like the facilities go out of their way to make the process more complex. Both sons have agreed to come up / down with their pickups to move her stuff from my garage to the Assisted Living Facility, once someone gives us a discharge / move in date. Next month, our involvement will reach six years from the MIL's "Incident".
Not for nothing, as long as your dad is ambulatory, and there are no other complications, he will do better staying with family. Try and get the best price for his house, as you may need the money for his care...I know this challenges one's patience...it literally wears ya down. Best of luck.
Willie: I Dullcote first, then weather. The washes and powders seem to attach themselves to the dullcote. Don't know how that will work for mortar lines. I don't understanding the Dullcote staining the roof like that. Hope things went well with the Infectious disease doctor.
The Install guy from Lowes came and installed our new Dishwasher today. Took about an hour. First use with the dinner dishes is ongoing. Nice and quiet. So far, so good.
In a scene dating back to the late 1950s, the three photo sequence shows the engine change between Hunter Interlocking (PRR) and NK (LV) in Newark, NJ. The Lehigh Valley train out of New York Penn Station, pulls up and cuts off, then runs into the clear. The Valley's PAs go against the train and couple up. Then after the brake test, the train departs for Allentown and Points West. Note the LV Drill on the track on the left. NK tower is to the left in the background. Note the back of the Public Service GM bus on the road to the right.

Gentleman, a moment of silence. A momentous occasion not to be rushed. My sympathy, sir.
