    Running Bear's May 2025 Coffee Shop

    My class in 1966 was 529 students, lined up alphabetically. Held in a air conditioned city owned venue-no worries about rain or bugs.

    Running Bear's April 2025 Coffee Shop

    Here's my take on retirement: Every day is a Saturday or Sunday and you get all the holidays off. Retired in 2014 but I still get up every day at 6:00 am.

    We have a Texas Roadhouse 20 miles away and it is worth the ride. Yes, it is busy most of the time and quite noisy. Found the best time to get there is before 4:30 on weekdays. Usually don't go on weekends. Good food and their rolls and honey butter could be a meal by themselves. Really like...

    Bachmann locomotives

    I have a GP40 with factory dcc-no sound and the decoder was a piece of junk. Replaced the decoder with a NCE decoder-no sound and now it is a nice running, decently detailed engine. Also have a GP40 with factory dcc/sound. The engine runs fine but the sound is marginal. Don't usually run sound...

    What are you buying this Month?

    Yes, but those occasions are few and far between. Last time was about three years ago in an antique shop down at the Connecticut shore. Found a package of Preiser figures for $5. Always go into a shop expecting not to find anything. That way I don't end up disappointed.

    What are you buying this Month?

    For over 20 years I've passed an antiques/collectibles store in the next town on my way to work. Today my wife, daughter, and I decided to go check it out for something to do. Not a big store but it had most of the usual fare but somewhat cleaner than the stuff in typical antique shops which are...

    Running Bear's March 2025 Coffee Shop

    Been trying to think of additional details that I could add to the layout. I noticed my workbench trash can is a 5 gallon bucket. Light bulb moment-don't have any on the layout and they could be anywhere. Don't remember seeing them for sale anywhere and I don't have a 3d printer. Found some...

    Running Bear's March 2025 Coffee Shop

    Not only the prices that are keeping people from restaurants. Many have gone from a place setting when you are seated to a napkin with a knife and a fork or two rolled up. Hardly any give you a glass of water unless you ask for it. Half the time they forget to give you a spoon if you order a...

    That's mainly the reason we usually get take out rather than eat in.

    That's not the Tappen Zee bridge that I used to go over. Didn't realize they built a new one until a couple of years ago.

    Control Panels & Related Items

    Nice looking panels and servo mounts. Glad to see you're using nylon insert locknuts on the microswitches. Will never have to worry about them loosening up.
