I don't think I could have said anything any more, or any better than anyone else. God bless you, and all of the other men and women serving our country. Welcome home brother. Matt

Oh the mind, it is a maddening thing... One day I am building a C&NW themed layout based on the Chicago stock yards, then it is CSX in Michigan, then it is C&O, then it is Mid-Michigan Ry, then it is Saginaw, Flint & Eastern. The era has been all over the place too. During all of this mind...

That is cool! I could see some great applications for that kind of device. The question that comes to my mind is: Why are they experimenting with scotch tape in a vacuum chamber to start with?

Too bad that move to DE fell through, operating on an 8'x48' would rock.:thumb: Matt

It is to be devoutly wished that we all could have the space for a #20 turnout. These charts are the coolest thing since silly putty. They even show the ballast type, and the date of the last ballast cleaning/addition. Granted, mine is a 1984 chart, but it is the same line, rail, bridges...

Something happened with my update yesterday, so I am not sure if I need to re-submit my last post. This one is a test post.

They are the engeneering charts that show everything relating to the track, grade, roadbed, curvature, switch types, signal location and type, etc. I would scan a sample page, but it is too big for my scanner. Matt

Has anyone here done this before? I am going to, after I figure out what falls in the name of compression. Matt

The stitches were taken out today. I am still without the benefit of my right hand, as per the docs orders. Over the next 4 weeks I will be able to gradually increase the use of my hand. At least now I can shower without having to tape a garbage bag over it. It remains to be seen how effective...

I heard through the rumor mill that "Foul Play" has not been ruled out.

The Senate Oversight Committee, and the Senate Intelligence Committee have issued a statement, and said that they need the light left on. If that light is shut off they will never be able to see what is not there.

I had to vote for passenger cars, because each road, or name train had cars with such character. They were the physical ambassadors of their time.

I special ordered my fingers, they will each have a brass builders plate on them.sign1 Thanks everyone Matt

That was the coolest video I have seen in a while!

on the 7th, I had the 1st of several surgeries to repair wy wrists, just a carpal tunnel release. According to the doc it went well. I don't recall much (fentanyl and versed (sp?)) will do that. I am without the benefit of my right hand for a bit. Next comes therapy, then surgery on my left...

Marc, Thank you. That meant alot to me. I hope that you will accept my apology as well. Matt

I over-reacted to Squidbait's reply. I will offer no excuses, except to say that I have had a full plate as of late. I want to apologize to Squidbat first. You describe yourself as a "curmudgeon", but you had never been rude to me before. I do still find your response to be a bit rude, but...

I forgot something. Brian, thank you for the books. my email is iis612@hotmail.com, keep in touch.

This is to be my last post/visit to the guage. I used to sing praises about this forum, and the great people here. While it is true, there are a bunch of great people here, there are also a bunch that are not so great. I don't know what I did to piss in everyone's cheerios, but if one of the...

Thank you. That was probably the single most condescending response I have ever gotten.
