I owed $1.50 in "administrative fees"
That reminds me of a few years back. We had something like £20 35p in a bank. They sent a letter to tell us the information. The sting was the bank charged us £25.00 to say so. Now we were overdrawn £4.65!!! We contested it; and lost. Meanwhile they sent a further three letters to say we were overdrawn; at £25.00 each time. Yes we were now £79.65 overdrawn. We had to pay it. The Bank Manager could not understand why we closed our account there.

Gorgeous! Hopefully ScaleTrains or someone else will make a model of it.
It probably wont be Scaletrains unless they tool it up from scratch. It looks to be an SD70M. They don't currently offer it.

It most likely would be Athearn since they already offer it in the Genesis line. That would be ok, they would do a great job.

Broadway Limited also offers it, but God forbid lets hope not!

As I posted a few weeks ago, we all breathe a sigh of relief when the Dow drops only 300 points! I just checked a minute ago and it's down just 200 points 30 minutes before closing. But I get your point about the reporting of only bad news.
Interestingly the Dow and S&P were both up on the day, NASDAQ and Russel 2000 down. Neither the ups or downs were that significant.

My two self directed HSA and 401K accounts were slightly up as well.

A bunch of my holdings are ETFs that pay dividends monthly. So any upward movement in price with them is a bonus.
 


Orioles won again to take two out of three from the Yankees! Sorry David. This ends the disappointing, injury filled month of April on a high note.


Despite the slow start the Birds are only five games back in the loss column. As Earl Weaver used to say, "You can't win the pennant in April, but you can lose it" My Birds are still alive! 😁

Have an enjoyable day Everybody!
