    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] - Part VII

    Good morning. It's 52 and clear. The high should be around 80 and it will be partly cloudy. Didn't get any work done on the layout yesterday as I was too busy helping my father get pine straw moved from the rental properties. Personally I'd hand the tenants a rake each and say get with it. As...

    There was a tragedy in my life today. My G Scale narrow gauge Silverton Flyer which had been on static display (motor was burned out) in the front yard for 12 years was lost in a fire. It was a 4-6-0 Baldwin with tender, 40 foot wood boxcar lettered for Cascade Canyon and a combine custom...

    Good morning. It's 54 and clear. The high will be in the upper 70's and it will be partly cloudy. Spent part of the day yesterday getting Ezra's home situation taken care of.

    Good morning. It's 48 and clear. The high should be in the upper 70's and it will be partly cloudy. Got a bunch of work done on the low end industry on the extreme south end of the layout yesterday. It only served to point out how much work still lies ahead (*groan*). I don't envision getting...

    Good morning. It's 46 and partly cloudy here. The high is projected to be in the high 70's and it will be partly cloudy. I put together a couple of trackside shacks and an old 2 stall engine house yesterday. Placing the larger structure meant relocating the fire station and the O.L. King and...

    Good morning. It's 53 and cloudy. The high will be in the upper 70's and it will be partly cloudy as we see a welcome stranger called 'the sun' putting in an appearance.

    Good morning. It's 47 and cloudy (what else is new?) and there's a chance of rain today. The high will be in the upper 50's. Didn't get much done yesterday as I was battling some kind of bug until the early afternoon. I did get a couple of new structures placed on the layout. The Bachmann...
