GOOD MORNING GANG!!!! Hope all are well. Been servicing the Beep and checking the operation of the switcher. Both OK. Added some track to my big diesel storage track so I can get them all on that track [it has power off and on switch]. Now to mow grass for the first time in over a month. Still need more rain as ponds and lakes did NOT go up. Later and God bless. [Morning TOOTS ;) ]

WTB Tinker toy pieces
wave.gif
I need some tinker toy parts...a couple of round pieces and some shafts for a saw mill I am making.

Can anyone help me out?

The idea is to use them for pulleys and heat a hack saw blade and bend it to fit over them like a band saw.

Iwill pay postage and what ever you think is reasonable.

Boy y'all been active on here, seems many pages have been added since I last checked in, I thought it was yesterday.

With all the talk about building structures for layouts not yet built don't make the mistake I did. I built a factory with loading dock and attached office anticipating having space on the then planned layout. When done with benchwork and track down I found there wasn't a space large enough for the factory. It was made from DPM panels and when I was able to saw them appart I ended up with a couple of building fronts and complete buildings.

Oh, hi Roger ! Yes, we were pretty active on here last night !

I learned how to make the words real big !

I know what you mean about space, it goes fast. It's real easy to make things big. That's a great alternative we now have, to cut a building up & just use the fronts. They even sell just the fronts now. I think the fronts combined with a nice backdrop picture is a good way to go too, in a lot of situations. Thanks, John

Classic!!
I had a space problem once with an engine house. It fit ok but there was not enough room for the switches into it.

It was a two bay building and a turn table would not work.

Gil, I had the same problem with an ICS (I think) two bay engine house. When I checked my engines, and knew I probably wouldn't get any much longer. I cut a bay out of the length. Looks great, and gave the room needed. Even if you do have longer engines it was not uncommon for the proto's to leave the tender sticking out when they built longer engines.

The big lake is keeping us warmer than southern Ohio. :cool:

Been reading some great reports about YORK. I am surprised about K-Line reports after seeing there last catalog or should I say flyer. Hope they make it and can do what they say. :)

Hard day working in the yard yesterday, including stripping the Garden and rotortilling it.

I see John is up and around. Hi, John.
Spankybird is still up, posting great pics.
I think Chief is working too hard. Take a vacation day.
Well, the sun is out. Cooler. Grass is still growing.
Let's all sing in a bucket to Gil.
Hope everyone has a great day.
