Mikey, I'll invite you to visit up here when/if it gets cold this year.....kinda waiting for the normal -30 to hit first! I can tell you about many mornings walking out to start the car when it had warmed up to + 5 or so and being very pleased at how warm it was!

Morning all, I'll have freach toast and bacon I think! Its about 3, supposed to get up to 10, going to be like that the next couple of days then warm back up to the 20s.....spring is right around the corner!!!!

The other half and I were talking and have decided that if that Thomas thing that everyone has been posting pictures of come back to Duluth or the twin cities this year we are going to give my son the money to take his boys. They both love trains!

Some say that I have as much money in my 1/43 cars as I do in my 'O' :rolleyes: Gauge trains ! :D

The last one is made by Franklin Mint. I don't remember who made the wagon, but you can pick it up from DiecastDirect. And yes, these do cost a little more than $5.00 eacch :cry:

Good Morning All!
Not much to report from the land of Buckeyes..Its fairly mild out this morning and the temp is 37 with calm winds.Once again NS living up to that old adage "Run 'em till they drop"..I been up since 7:30 and NS is averaging a train every 20 minutes.

I was in the process of adding screws to the Athearn coupler boxes on the cars I plan on using during our up coming open house and I realize I need to order some..The only reason I am doing this project is because the club rule 15.1 under freight car operating rule 15 states "All cars use during public shows must have the coupler box held on by a screw yadda,yadda etc".Silly rule anyway.

Tonight for supper I am going to have "mulligan stew" made with fresh frozen veggies with beef cubes with pan bread..

I shall have a cup and look over the forum.

Have a nice day all!

Rick here is the picture of the 2-8-8-2 I also included MTH K4 and Broadway limited 4-8-2 that is the start of my steam locomotives for the Cedar Creek RR. I told my wife that I need 12 more locomotives to fill the roundhouse she didn't agree.:cry: now all I have to do is get the basement done so my benchwoork can start.
