Came across this old movie on YouTube and thought of the Milwaukee Road fans here. It's called Danger Lights and isn't a half bad movie. There's a lot of railroad action, a love story and action. A glimpse at how things used to be. What more could you ask for? It was filmed on the Milwaukee back in the early 30's. We'll see if this link works. http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=_aeIxSaLENw

Good morning everybody!

27 with clear skies in southeast Baltimore

My grandson and I are going to game stop today. He is so excited to spend his money from his Christmas gifts. I let him spend his money then match what ever he spends and put it in his bank for him. I always tell him he should save at least half of what he has. Once money goes in his bank it does not come back out.

My Mom has him so spoiled when he gets a card he think it is supposed to have money it. My daughter told me before he was in pre-school one of her friends gave him Christmas gift and a Christmas card. He opened the card and looked puzzled then asked his mom "where is the money". Needless to say she was embarrassed.

Have a great day everybody!

27 and clear here as well. Frost everywhere. Forecast calls for 57 today.

Great news!! My funds hit the account just after mid-night. I had gotten up to pee around 0100 hours and saw that and decided to stay up and proceed to empty my Amazon wish list I've been building up over the past 6-weeks.
When my neighbor gets up in a couple hours he's taking me to Home Depot to get all the material to build my table today.
If the excitement doesn't too much over take me, I'll have him stop at the WalMart on the way back and pick up a digital camera so I can start posting some much asked for pics. Of course I'll check out any train supplies they may have as well.

Good morning, America, how are you!? It's 36° a little after 6:00 AM IN January! The warm up continues! It got up to 46° yesterday and today is supposed to be even warmer. I'm hoping for 50° or better. Hope springs eternal! Going to see my daughter and her family today. My oldest granddaughter is going to St. Louis later this month for one of the America's Got Talent auditions. She is very excited and so far is staying grounded in her expectations. It'll be a good experience either way. My wife and I are just as excited as she is. She is 13 and a very darn good singer but has no formal training. We're wishing her the best!
 


To me, young man, hi fi has always had to do with stereo equipment, hi fi sound etc., never have I connected it with details on a HO locomotive....
When I first saw this, I thought, what the...? lol
 
Congratulations BigE! Enjoy your day, I am sure you will!

I wish your granddaughter well Bob and I agree completely just the experience is worth it. The best thing you can do for young people is to get them involved in extracurricular activities. The benefits are too numerous to mention.

113 we learned something new today! What a great hobby this is!

Now I have to get ready to go out myself, look out game stop, here we come!

Thought I'd cheat and just say I couldn't agree more with what Louis said, especially getting younger people of their butts, out from in front TV's, Video Games and Cell Phones and getting them involved in other things.

At the age of 67, I am pretty much well past being a "young man" but I am not too old to learn. :cool:
 
Well, I'm using my mobile phone (cell phone as you call them), as I need to upgrade my computer...or, hopefully at some point, buy a new one!
It is a great hobby in many ways, it's creative....with the modelling, you learn history, you meet a lot of friendly people, like you here on this forum, one way or another, you learn something...
I am a railfan in general, but.....9.99% of that is, US railroads before 1976 and Conrail, having a handful of favourite companies, with brightest shining star on my night sky being The Milwaukee Road!

Thanks for having me and accepting me into your ranks!
 
Good morning Bill.

That was back in the late 1960's-early 1970's, when "hi fi" first became a household word. If you didn't know, that is an Atlas/Roco SD35.
