    Running Bear's Coffee Shop LVIII

    By 'Southern PA' I assume you mean Main Line in Blue Ridge Summit? I was up there last week and picked up 'West of Cumberland' about the B&O. Today looks like a good day for a drive in the country, enjoy the trip.

    Running Bear's Coffee Shop LVIII

    Good morning from Middletown Valley it is 31° and sunny here in Central Maryland. I know I disappeared late last spring (grass never stopped growing this year, I think I spent all summer on the mower). But I'm back now and hope to stay around this time.

    I guess my view of magazines is a little different. I just started subscribing to MR although I have been picking it up off the newstand off and on for years. I have picked up RMC occasionally over the years also. With the stage I am at in getting started again I find MR to be useful. I do...

    Good Morning. It was 33 when I got moving this morning, up to 46 and sunny now. Bruette - you may be able to help me on something. Back right after the Scott Key Bridge was opened I was driving north and saw just south of the draw bridge on 695 some old steam locomotives sitting next to what...

    Good Morning from the Middletown Valley. 19 degrees and clear. Early spring is always a surprise in Maryland! Thanks for the welcome Bruette. I've been lurking for a couple months. I'm going to work in HO scale. I'm planning on a modular setup, starting with a switching layout on a 32"x...

    Good Morning. Here in the Middletown Valley of MD it is 28 with a wind chill of 17. I will agree kbkcooch's opinion of his LHS. I stopped in there a few weeks back and found them very friendly and well stocked. I'm getting back into the hobby after thinking about it and setting up a simple...

    Close - They are Boeing 737 fuselages. There was a pictorial of them in TRAINS a few months back. There was also a derailment since then which destroyed several fuselages.

    Hello, I joined this group a few days ago and so far have been wandering around some of the forums to get a 'feel' for the place. I first attempted to build a layout about 20 years ago when my sons were younger. That attempt pretty much died due to outside pressures (job and other issues) and...
