    I don't see anything wrong with it as long as everything fits and clears. Remember what you told me about my SD40-2s clearing the end of my tunnel "a miss is as good as a mile. Keep playing ball and building model railroads. And if you haven't heard the Bruce Springsteen new song "Lookin For...

    I thought you learned you lesson about the art of softball last year. When you are playing senior league softball and a hot grounder comes your way you act as tho you are going to catch the ball then get out of the damn things way. An error is a lot better than "stitches in the mouth" or worse...

    He knows I'm only kidding. He built my layout in 2010. One time he e-mailed me and said Lee 've got bad news. I thought maybe his dog or cat had knocked it off on the floor, I almost had a heart attack. Then he told me he had run out of trees and would be getting some in in about a week. Ask him...

    As you know I'm a "runner" too. Too much work to do the other. Model railroading is suppose to be fun, when you start "working" on the running part then it gets too much like work, but to each his own. I have belonged to clubs, here and around Athens/Atlanta,Ga. that believed in nothing but the...

    Excellent schooling for a dummy like me. Who knows I may try to make a small diorama to use my 5& dime store on when I get it. Keep up the fine work. Lee

    Hey Jim, Lee Barry , Did you ever think you should 've let it be as it was ? Just asking. Kinda reminds me of trying to get that damned radiator out of my 2003 Ford Taurus and then the new back in. Wish I'd never started the project. The easier it started the harder its become. Don't know if I...

    Jim, I used to have one of those Makita Right angled drills. It's like everything else it got away from me too. I also had a Milwaukee one that used 110 V. They sure are handy in tight spaces. When do you think your gonna have it back together. Keep sending the pictures. I know what cut a hole...

    The more I see of it the more beautiful it looks. You'd be a rich man if 35-40 yrs. ago you built layouts. But I'm glad I got the oppurnity to let you build mine. Lee Barry

    I must have misread or misunderstood your pictures and what you said. Hope your open house goes great. Love to be there, but you know how it is on a fixed income, those $500-700 plane tickets don't just materialize themselves. Have a good one Lee

    Did read you correctly. You stated "while doing my railroad redo". Are remaking the one you just finished? Or am I too future dated.? Lee

    I too remember those old steam trains. Back in 1952 my father purchased a house, Norfolk,Va., and just outside the front door about 50', it was a corner lot, across a small two lane road called Cape Henry Ave., was the Belt Line railroad, if any of you get the Model Rail Roader mag. there was an...
