Guy: It was kind of a joke. He turned 12 today and is no longer 11. He's out of school for parent conferences and was going to play video games all day according to his master plan...
I eventually scratch built the depot. However, looking at the module in the post , there is a sign saying "future location of Wyoming depot" where the station ended up.
By the way, look forward to seeing your icehouse.

Yippee! I got a new car today!
It came in a package with 4 other new vehicles that I'll photograph and post over the weekend. The 55 Bel Aire pictured is made by Schuco. I believe the scheme is very realistic, as seen in the 1950's Banff photo.
I also bought more plywood today, so I can build more layout table. The local hardware say's they are having supply problems, and have been waiting 1-1/2 months for a ply-wood delivery. I had to settle on 4x4 sheets, instead of 4x8. That added another $20.00 onto an 8' distance.
See ya tomorrow!

Afternoon All.
Today was kind of up and down in the train room today. I started out changing the battery in the command station (DCS-200) and entering the 47 op swc values. After that I ran an diesel without issue for 30 minutes before breaking for lunch. After lunch the engine ran fine for about 20 minutes before losing synch again. I reviewed the op swc values and a couple had changed on their own (WTH?). After changing them back the engine ran fine until I turned off the layout. It's very frustrating. I'm toying with the idea of getting a Digitrax LNRP (loconet repeater) but don't know if it would fix the problem or if the issue is the older command station. On a side note. my Dad's DT402D has the same issue so I don't think it's a throttle issue.
Smudge- You did well for yourself. Easier is better.
Hughie- Nice looking kit. I look forward to seeing your progress. Great before and after.
Joe- Great photos.
Patrick- Happy Birthday to your grandson.
Karl- I hope your ear feels better.
Terry- I hope your job is going well.
Willie- Nice before and after shots.
Dave- The module looks very good. Nice picture of you and the boss. Didn't you scratch build the station in the picture?
Guy- Nice photo.
Steve- Unbelievable events in Ukraine although we knew it was coming. Prayers for your DIL's family and the people of Ukraine.
Bigfoot- Very nice job on the job.
I'm thinking about adding my Walthers Icehouse in this location to support the REA operations. I have lighting under the platform roof.
I hope everyone has a good night.

Hi Curt,

Good Afternoon Everyone.....the sky is over-cast and we're waiting for the 3-5 inches of over-night snow. We'll see if the forecasters are right since the snow amounts vary greatly between forecasters. This part of Wisconsin has had a real lack of snow. Usually, if the snowfall is light in the first part of winter, the second part of the season gets hammered by snow, so far this winter that hasn't happened.
Trip to the local hospital today for my monthly blood check since I'm on blood thinners. All good with my INR at 2.1!
Now much to report today.
Just before Proto-2000 was sold to Walther's, I called Life-Like and explained that I had over 20 locomotives that I never ran and were still in their boxes and I was worried that in the future about the issue of broken gears. The fellow I talked to sent me 8 or 10 gear sets free of charge, just so I would have them in of trouble.
Willie: That's a great looking shot looking south on that vintage photograph!!!
Listening to Earth, Wind and Fire with Chicago "Live at the Greek". What a great combination of musical groups. Really working my small PC speakers. I went to a Chicago concert just after they changed their name from CTA.
When to a fast food drive-in yesterday for lunch and what a sticker shock. Over $16.00 for two burgers, a fry and two small soft drinks. Later a one scoop of ice cream sundae, $4.98.
That's all for now.....

Justin: Just a thought, have you check the lube on the gears on that GP-7 of yours? Perhaps there's a build-up of old grease on the gears or it may even need a good break-in run for several hours to help improve the locomotive's performance. Cracked gear?

I know what you were talking about! You still lost an 11 year old, and are that much closer to having another one of those teenage headaches.

Good Afternoon All. Wow! A 900 point swing in the Dow Jones today. Remarkable comeback from this mornings opening. Percentage-wise, it didn't do near as well as the S&P. That was nice.
No change in the ice conditions, my pond which didn't even have water in it Monday has an almost 1/4" layer of ice on top today.
Today is National Chili Day, so I hope that you have a pot on the stove already like we do.
Everybody have a great evening. Stay warm.

Good evening and getting ready to go out. Waiting for my date who is Terry’s best friend. Going to se the traveling show for Hair Spray.
Markets, Terry has kept all stocks that provide dividends, along its Apple and Tesla. She reduced everything else to minor holdings and it’s parked in cash. She started last week. Not a great inflation fighter but the best you can do depending on how bad the Ukrainian event gets.
Next week she will become an very aggressive buyer. She loves this stuff, I hate it

Tom and Willie: each of the last two days, I've been bottom feeding. There are some good opportunities out there, right now. Of course, once the markets closed, the futures players began shorting the whole market again. Holding some cash for next week, althoughforall the talk about higher rates, cash still isn't earning anything.

Stuck in traffic. Terry is ready for tomorrow to be aggressive but told me this afternoon she thinking mid morning Monday. It’s going to be a real roller coaster for a few weeks
