Well, since I was in a train yard... ...the other day...in Allentown, Pennsylvania... I'm still scratching my head- BNSF, Norfolk Southern? Wha happen???:eek: Mark

Ralph- This was all in a matter of five minutes. The BNSF unit was headed into the hump holding tracks. The CP/SOO units were parked in Bethlehem at the old CNJ, now a restaurant, station (opposite Bethlehem Steel/Lehigh River). You can see the light enigine movement was passing as the BNSF was...

Okay, a little more. All for you guys. I busted my hump getting these picssign1!!!! I appreciate your stopping by to weep with me as I think of all the many moments I needed to do this. I am humbled and if you send cash, well, then that wouldn't be too bad either. Mark:mrgreen:

...Allentown(?). Geez, BNSF, Conrail, Norfolk Southern? Canadian Pacific, Soo Line? Yeah there's a Soo Line SD40-2 at the end of that string of CP units. I was supposed to be doing some real work around the house- but hey, my darling wife was with me and I felt an obligation to expose...

Cannonball, have you... ...tried a local hobby shop where they might sell consignments, etc. I happen to be blessed with several good LHSs and one of them actually sells built, pre-owned buildings. Most of them look like crap and need a good going over. Dismantle as far as you can, re-paint...

I guess I should say... ...I started modeling by myself when I was 13. But I was always with my dad when he built Xmas layouts- elaborate with auto-routing and multi-trained (My dad was a EE Drexel, banks of relays, snap of them being energized and thrown). I posted earlier about my experience...

If you end up... ...deciding to get your name in the papers- take pictures and video! Thank you, Mark

I listened to a... ...MRC sound station and thought- that's pretty stupid. But then again- with activity and ambient sound... it's a buyer's choice- what are ya getting out of it? Oh, by the way- I made sure I got the last Sound &Power7000 or what ever the unit is because you can run up the...

I usta make photo copies... ...of kit walls- trimmed them, color penciled, and taped the ends together. I'd back bigger buildings with chipboard. Oh, and I still do it. Mark

As the man in the commercial says, "Can ya hear me now"? Good story Gary. Mark

I can still remember... ...reaching up to hold my mom's skirt hem. It was the 60's and I was up to my mom's knee. We were at Wissahickon Station in Philly- goin downtown to get shoes- I musta been going into first grade. Well, there we were on the platform- me craning my neck all around...

Absolutely a winner! Thanks. I only saw This Moment... so far, but I loved it, every moment. Mark

Did anyone else... ...happen to buy LL GP18s. I saw an ad for "New Release Special" and they were only $16.00, limited quantity, buy now or you'll be sorry. I kept thinking- yeah- I'll buy 'em and they'll be less than "life like". I bought two- they are the sweetest. I got 'em to do uP in NYSW...

I, uh, actually... ...chilled thinking about how many times I have been out "there" and close to loosing a nut, wishing I had more sense, warmer clothes, hotter coffee (being indestructible as a fart knocking youth full of...). Thanks(?) for reminding me for what I'll have to do in 3-4...

Accolades! G.E., I resist coming into the HO forum being an N Scaler because I know all too well (having been in HO) what products are available that I can't get in N. Well, I'm happy I stopped by and caught your posts. It comes across to me that you enjoy running trains. The best part, your...

My brother's... ..."significant other" seems to think "cute" train things are, well "cute" and that I would want them. Unfortunately she believes the best way to buy for someone is to do so as if you were buying for yourself. Uh, she fills her apartment with "cute" curios. Ralph, I got one...

I thought all... ...model railroaders woke early to turn on the TV to cartoons, eat cereal, drink coffee and run trains endlessly in the basement until the rest of the household became too noisy to enjoy it anymore that day!!! You mean you guys haven't been???wall1 And hey, 'lil rascals...

It is... ...interesting, isn't it? Yeah, running models at XXMPH into a curve that you might realize now that the train would spill over. Well I drive my trains regardless of the curves in order to facilitate the next view I see them in as they-, "Blow thru town &^#,.-" Kicking up dust as it...

I used to be a member of The Gauge too... ...and I still am, and hey, so are you too. Welcome back. It's still the most comfortable place for easy expression on topics RR (model or otherwise). I'll ask- Flyboy41?, veteran flyer? I happen to love that Carolina Central layout but I would...
