Wow, I am amazed that you can see the ocean from that far inland!

ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
Next Sunday it will be interesting to see what that 39A closes at. It's very hard to find nice early examples like that one.
I don't like renaming things, so whatever it is, it is. The name it has been renamed to, should have been what it was originally named, but wasn't, and now it has been renamed from what it should have been, but wasn't.

Almost $900, with no mag or box. I could've had it pre-auction for about $450.

Good evening folks, a beautiful Palm Sunday today, hit 74 and sunny with a slight breeze, it was so pretty out. Great Morning Service at Church with one of the best sermons I have ever heard. The Afternoon Service was the High School group took over with singing and announcements, then the Youth Director preached, again a very good sermon. Supposed to be really pretty this week weatherwise. Did have some semi-annoying news yesterday as I got off work, it is such a slow time of the year that all of us part-timers are being cut back to one day a week. I may actually wind up a little less than that, as my pension covers all our bills, my gunstore job is just hobby money, so I'm off tomorrow for a change.
Did hit some more game minis with paint, base colors and liners, as appropriate.
Hope you all have a great evening.

It’s not the ocean but the Gulf of Mexico or whatever we are calling it this week.
Around here, we just call it “The Gulf”.It’s not the ocean but the Gulf of Mexico or whatever we are calling it this week.

When I was in Hawaii, I couldn't even find an open beach to go fishing. Everything was private property, including what I thought was Barber's Point, which used to be a Naval Air Station. The map said there was a Navy Exchange inside the gates, but my ID card wouldn't get me on. I actually got lost driving around that area since I couldn't see where the water was.

so I'm on taxi duty.
Wife's sis had to head home to get her beauty sleep for an early morning nursing shift.
Wife is hanging with MIL until they get her into a room for overnight at the hospital.
I have to stay awake for the text to go get the wife...
I'm not sure I have enough Diet Dr. Peppers to keep me awake. The last time this happened had to drive in at 1:30am to get the wife. Yes, we have a slow hospital!
But wait! She texted as I was typing. Not quite ready yet, but she's in a room. Time to go put pants on!

That's what I have always called it, even well before the current naming fiasco.

Guess I'm out of the loop on this. Trigger alert?
Pretty much.

good morning!
- airport is up and running
- cloudy and cold weather overhere.
- weekend was productive but also chill
did some work on my main layout (check layout thread) and also did some small diorama bases for my upcoming easter "dioramas".
next step is bringing in some more textured earth, then the rabbits, then static gras and flowers.
Done!
Cheers and great start for the week.

Well, howdy there internet peeps and those with air or ports. One is essential, the other depends on your situation.
It's Troy again...
Full MIL update later today. In a nutshell she responded well to the IV diuretics. Peed almost two liters while there yesterday. She'll be in hospital for a few days.
Wife needs to be there through the day, so she'll have the car. Once I get this typed, I'll head up to shower, get my errands in (Menards run), then back to let her have the car for the day.
I mentioned in my layout thread that I want to get a roll of craft paper (brown butcher type paper) to spread over the layout and do my track design doodling on. If it gets too messy, I'll tape a fresh piece on.
Me and Claude (the AI) got the plot and scenario idea worked out for what's going on in the zombie apocalypse theme. Sounds like I've got a new book series in there.
Thoughts: Coved corners. I think I'm doing away with coving. I like the look, but it's going to be rough reaching the back of the central peninsula if I get a derailment in the "tunnel" area where it goes through the backdrop. More about saving my back, I'd rather reach OVER than crawl under and reach up. So hard corners.
I'm also trying to come up with a way to get color changing LEDs over the layout, but not at ceiling height. Some sort of drop down/hung system. If you have ideas for such, or can point me to a post/video/website, please let me know.

Morning all,
Turned busy on me yesterday. My try to take it easy day quickly went to heck.
Got "voluntold" that the boy needed help getting his garden spots ready, so I ended up spending 3 hours with the mini tiller getting his beds prepped and various mulches worked in. He lugged the bags and trash cans of stuff he'd gotten after I broke the main garden broken up. He didn't plant last year so it tightened up, being as most of our area is a clay cased soil. Then I got home and ate a late lunch, and then got "voluntold" that I needed to help the SIL get a drawer fixed in the kitchen. I already had given him the stuff he needed, but he's not handy. So it took 20 minutes to get the drawer runners replaced. He did the crawling in the cabinet. I will say that I'm glad I purchased the battery brad nailer years ago. It made quick work of nailing the new parts in.
When I got home, I ended up cutting, sanding and staining the new "floor" of the new bathroom cabinet. I had to make the holes for the plumbing a bit bigger than I wanted as I left the shutoff valves intact. Holes ended up large enough that I can't simply put an escutcheon plate to cover the holes and I don't want to try to dig stuff that may fall under the otherwise sealed cabinet. Fits nicely, just need to get it sealed against anything we put under the sink.
Currently 60° with a new record high of 85° expected. Rain possibilities during the next 5 days.

62°F at 0745 this morning. Good day all.
The pie was great last night. Not much happening around here this week. Might get a haircut tomorrow or Wednesday, depending upon when my barber wants to show up for work.
Supposed to be 85°F later today. We'll see about that.
Have a great week! Servus!

Good morning all!
Currently 65f with an expected high of 70f here in north Florida. Sad thing is it’s going to be warmer back home today reaching almost 80f.
We are having trouble getting on WiFi here at the condo. Hopefully someone can resolve it sometime today. I really hate using my phone to cruise the forum on this tiny screen.
We really have no plans today. It’s a see what happens day.
Have a safe day everyone!
