Collectables doesn't interest me. The rolling stock has to have a reason (no matter how small ) to be on the layout and are run. The boxes they were in go in the recycle in.

Collectibles have value only when somebody else wants it.

Amazingly the deepest snow I have personally seen was in London when one year drifts caused sone cars to be buried under snow. Heavy snow in England is rare, but in London it was like serreal to see this.
Scotland on the other hand gets plenty of snow, we rarely even see more than 4 inches, if any At all.

When I lived in Yorkshire in 1963 I remember walking the dog and not knowing if I was on the path or above the bushes. The bushes were over six feet tall.

There's a terrible tree between our and the neighbor's property. I told my neighbor I would go half with him to take it down. That's happing today. The tree guy is way up there cutting branches. You can just make him out. The other work is happing in the hallway going to 2 of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms. The 60-year-old hardwood floor is too far gone to be refinished. The easiest way is put down more vinyl flooring. In the process I'm also replacing all the 60 year old doors.

most folks are reluctant to ask those tree climbers for proof of insurance. It's like they don't want to sound skeptical, but when an accident occurs, who suffers the loss?

Howdy, All,

Afternoon All,

Started out the day with a walk at 53F and currently 74F. Another bad night of sleep mainly from the Benadryl. I took a 50 mg dose (allergic reaction dose) and it made me jittery and restless. Today the rash has spread further and is itchier. I'll see how the day and night go then if it doesn't get better, it's to the primary doc I go. Mouth is still pain free.

David- Great job on the cars and layout photos. I'm glad that your grandson willingly helps with Dawn.

Karl- That's funny.

Smudge- Nice videos.

Patrick- Enjoy your time with granddaughter.

George- Looks like fun working on the flooring-Not!

Here are the two hydrocal walls. Looking at the pictures I need to tone down the brown stones. The first photo is the truck side. The second is the rail side.






I hope everyone has a good night.

The light rust and dirt is spot on imo

At some point in the future you may give up, you may need cash. Those boxes = better prices……faints….thump…..

Thank you Jaz. Like I say, Dawn's donated make-up powders. Dust on and seconds later, done! Surprisingly they stay there.

Give up? Give up? No. No. No. Boxes? It will be a wooden one. As for needing cash? Only for more wagons.
