    SJ, And now it is on the way to us. The experts are split on what we will actually get. I've heard predictions for anywhere from a trace to 8", guess we will wait and see. Did call off the train show trip tomorrow, not worth getting in an accident. Have more trains now than I need, don't we...

    Sounds good, I think Lionel may be on to something here. I went to the museum library this morning but waited till 8:30 to leave, usually leave about 7:30. No problems driving, but the temps hovered just above freezing all day 33 to 34 per the weather experts. Except for the library the TCA...

    Good evening everyone, No trains yet today. SJ, Is that the Classic GG1 outfit from the latest catalog? That is my plan for the layout, get the outside loop up and running and then build from there. Got a North Carolina State box car in the mail today, wonder where that came from, hmm?

    RT, Sounds like a good plan. Saw a system for doing background on one of the forums, not sure which one. Fellow painted the blue walls and then used a stencil and white & gray spray paint to do the clouds. Looked real good. Basically did the clouds in white and then just a touch of gray...

    Considering the attention span of a 13 year old, his Dad and I decided everything would be assembled with screws to facilitate easy disassembly. :-)

    Tom, Nice picture, will you be going to the parade? I have never seen it myself, don't really like standing in the cold to watch a parade. Watching on TV is much more comfortable. :thumb:
