new president is a businessman.

The best part I like about him and have for years. Remember one time heard him on the radio back in 2003 he said if you see a opportunity to make money do right then and don’t wait so I did I was building Custom HO trucks at the time and saw the opportunity to sell them on eBay so I did that for 7 years and made good money doing it all because listening to now our president.

Your layout is looking good I like that Conrail pic of Allentown.

I don’t care who wins, as long as KC loses.

Exactly. My brother is a diehard fan.

So you need S scale 1/64 not HO 1/87. I’m getting ready to sell some of my 1/87 Classic metal works cars same years you need.

No worries, I respect fans of other teams

Ravens 25 - Bills 27

As is often the case, the team that made the fewest mistakes won. Which is why Washington is in the NFC Championship game and why the Ravens will be watching the rest of the playoffs on TV.

good morning!

- fog outside
- iam at the airport ZRH but cant really see it haha

was a bit in the layoutroom on the weekend, did draw the other side of my new office building. but found some miscalculations, that i have to change for the final building. will glue it together tonight and find out

On Saturday evening, I went to a lecture on “Among the Bears of Alaska”. Great pictures and a great story.

because of the fog, no picture today Maybe tomorrow a update picture from my office building!

I'm up

Speaking of Alaska, we're not in the negative F-degrees like they normally get this time of year, but our Canadian friends sure sent some of their cold blessings to us.

Here's what is predicted for the next few hours. (Remember, those are F-degrees). My guess is that Hell is frozen over. But this is just The Fort in NE Indiana.,

Well, looks like Hell is frozen over, but a degree warmer.

 

[traiNscale]

there is also a Hell in Norway.
Has a famous rally Cross Event there

 

[TrucTrain55]

Good Morning all 5° in the Ozark Foothills. After feeding the Sheep in a bit going to work on the new layout and stay warm. Be careful today guys and stay warm.

 

[Bill Tidler Jr.]

Good morning! It's 0°F in Tipton.

 

[D&J RailRoad]

Having been from the Detroit area of Michigan, I've been to Hell several times, just for the novelty of it.
As they say, "When you're going through Hell, keep on going".

Ok, now I'm getting all confused about replacement trucks for N Scale.

I remember why I didn't try to upgrade rolling stock previously.

I've got one car with a damaged truck, roller bearing body mounted coupler - longer box car (no jewel case).

I've got two cars with truck mounted short HORN HOOK couplers, look like Roller Bearing that I want to change out to micro-scale couplers. That's a might as well change the trucks, right?

I figured out the Bettendorf trucks are the early 20th century ones.

I don't understand the difference in Arch Bar, Andrew, or Barber Bearing trucks.

Does it even matter? Is there a generic set of N scale trucks with couplers (short) for two-spring or three-spring cars?

 

[TLOC]

Wouldn't they be off anyway for Martin Luther king day?

All our schools are out tomorrow around this area.

I just checked! There is no school because it’s Inauguration Day. No mention of MLK

Good afternoon all. A cold and wet day.
Overdid it somewhat on the housework yesterday. I had to get it done otherwise it 'piles up' and I hate that.

Younger granddaughter visiting after school. I take her to Brownies this evening.
