Cloudy and cold over here this morning. Keeps threatening to rain but no luck. Busy helping a new buddy of mine design the benchwork for his layout. We are going to make it in his garage.

We will raise it by mounting I- Beams on either end of the benchwork and attach a rolling mechanism. It will be 6m long x 1,8m wide.

Keep well.............

Mmmmm, yummy!!!!- I'll take Hot Chocolate though, not much of a tea totaler or coffee lover. I do however like "Moer Koffie" (Afrikaans for Nuts- as in nuts and bolts) taking fresh beans and putting it over the fire to boil,
then add some condensed milk- mmmmmmmm!

Big coup on the YANKS. Notice the bowls of GRITS [not mentioned by the Yanks] sitting at everyone's plate. Should have seen everyone of their faces when waiter came out and started putting out bowls of grits and said, "I understand you guys love GRITS." :D :thumb:

Really had a great time. Sun is out this AM. Off to the store and then flight home. Have a good one.

Good Afternoon All!
I hope the coffee is still fresh.
Not much to report from the land of Buckeyes on this warm Spring morn.

I took my morning walk and of course took a 3 hour "rest" at the T&OC station and talked to old friends as we waited on NS to run 'em. Sadly 4 trains in 3 hours isn't exactly "running 'em"..I understand there is a back up of trains waiting to enter the Bellevue yard and several backed up outbound trains as well.
I plan on going back if things gets busier..
I shall have a cup and look over the forum.
Have a good day all!

Good afternoon,

Beautiful day here, got near 60 & sunny. Spent some time in the greenhouse transplanting some seedlings. Also uncovered the pond filter & cleaned it with wife's help and she took out the heater. She also got out the porch furniture which usually brings on a batch of bad weather. :D

Might actually run some trains later. I started putting people in some passenger cars and may finish one of those.
