Yes, I was thinking that would be more likely or kitbash one

Sounds like another good project for you!

Pardon Our Interruption...

The seller doesn't post to the UK and it's just the shell, no glass or rails, and the chassis for this is around $75, hate to think what the postage would be for it all.

Yea, I think it would take a bundle to finish this.

Who knows, maybe it will be Scaletrains next museum quality announcement. They like to do those obscure locomotives in that line.

Bloody 'eck, I hope not, that new SD40 they're bringing out is gonna cost an arm and a leg (yes, I pre-ordered one)

Just say no.

Well, howdy there internet peeps, and those who hope Hughie wears shorts the next time he slides under his layout. No more going without

It's Troy again

Got 4 out of 7 books refreshed and uploaded the various outlets. Prices are matched where I could. Now I'm working on getting the initial run of ads set up. March is kicking my butt on advertising... a few good days, and then several low to no sales. Hoping that reviving this set of fantasy books will help average all of that out.

Wife took her mother out to visit the recuperating honorary and regular sis-in-laws (they're roomies). The liver one says that her normal greasy food isn't appealing any longer. Not sure what's connected to her new medical pill regime, and what is because her liver isn't trying to kill her.

Wife and I went to Penn Station to lunch for sandwiches. Then I took a nap.

 

[Smudge617]

Just say no.

Going to have to, I've already lost one leg, I can't afford another.

I went looking for photos of the derailment here in Decatur IN, and the sheriff's dept still has the best coverage. And Cops are not good photographers (past experience of mine when I worked for newspapers. We always backstopped the cops with our own photography, and got asked for it, often).

Looks minor, compared to others making headlines, but it has a major rural truck route closed. Semi drivers are grumping up a storm about the long detours to stay on truck routes.

Sheriffs/PD report that the tankers are empty, with no spillage from them.

Today back to winter wind with crispy clean air:

Good evening all. Thanks for the birthday wishes guys. Had our son and three grandchildren visiting today. They have just gone home.
Presents received ----- Cans of American ale from daughter & SiL. Bottles of UK beer from the grandchildren. A bottle of port from son and DiL.. Bottle of Pusser's rum from Dawn. I ask myself are they trying to get me drunk, so I cannot go to the train room?

I did get some dark chocolate. That was from the girls in the family. I am the only one who likes dark chocolate, so it's all mine.

So, time for a drink.

You go to train room with your presents, and open them in the train room as you run your trains. Any pictures of the afternath of a drunk on the job dispatcher are welcome on this forum

Darn shelf couplers. When one rolls, they all roll!

Reminds me of Christmas tree lights...

When I first looked at the film about the BEEP it reminded me of Class 20s here.

British Rail Class 20 - Wikipedia

Maybe. Maybe not.

I did not make it to the train room. Must do so tomorrow.

Goodnight all.

Good evening gang!

Happy Birthday David!

Sleepy day today, didn't get up til almost noon, ate, vacuumed the basement and puttered around, then watched the Napcar race in from of a roaring fire. Yes, I slept through most of it, that's why we call it Napcar. I wasn't really cold outside, but it was damp and windy.

The Beep is an interesting engine and I would have one if I modeled the ATS&F, but I don't and frankly, I have too many locos already. That being said you probably could kitbash one out of a Stewart DS-44-1000 switcher and a GP7 long hood. Or you could start with an old Athearn S-12 and a GP7 hood, but be careful of Athearn's hood width.

Spring is just around the corner, so in light of warmer days,,,

G'nite!!

Be glad no one’s taking pic of your sleeping.

Dark chocolate is awesome.
Just saying.

Agreed. Much better than milk chocolate!
