Great shots from everyone but I think we can all learn from Matty! I just ordered an undecorated GP38 shell that will be my first try at painting and engine or car. If it turns out OK I will post pics even if it's too late for this. Great work everyone and it will inspire me to try. Rick

Morning everyone. I got my steamers (IHC 4-6-2 and AMH 0-8-0) from Eric the other day. I did put some of the track up yesterday and run them a little! I'm very pleased! My 4 yo grandson go to run them too and was very excited! Then my 25 yo nephew was here in the afternoon. He ran them a little...

A Athearn JD train set got me back into Model RR. This year for Christmas one of my sons found a # JD collector car set with bill boards in a pawn shop and gave it to me. Well, i kinda like the more modern stuff way better than steam but when I got that set I knew that at least one steamer was...

hope you are feeling better rick

I feel for you with the family situation and greed. My wife uncle was driven out of farming because his children convinced grandma to give them half the farm which they right away put on the market for way more than what it was worth. Then they started fighting over shares and wound up in...

J sure was. The track it was on runs along US Hwy 10 from Fargo through Staples MN and I think into the Twin Cities. I left my son's place and went down Hwy 10 passing it once before Detroit Lakes where I stopped for coffee. Saw it pass me at the convenience store where it got the coffee and...

Morning all, was out of here yesterday morning at 5:45 to Fargo for a VA appt. Got shots in my knees and scheduled for arthroscopic surgery on the left one. Stopped by my sons house in Morehead on the way home. He has train tracks running right on the edge of his back yard. Great for him and his...

Morning all, we have at least 12"of the white junk on the ground and maybe more. About 25 now and snow showers for the rest of today. Have a great day all. Rick

sign1 at the funny car!!!! Gee if I admit to knowing what that is and to have seen many trains with them will people think I'm old:rolleyes: . (Kinda miss em:cry: .) Thanks for sharing those great photos! Rick

Cool....my grandsons love the Brio and Thomas battery stuff. We did put one grandsons battery Thomas set on a baord, no problems with the switches after that. Rick

Sounds like a win win situation. The railroad gets more that scrap price for old flats. The companies doing the bridges can offer bridges at a lower cost than new built and the buyer can save a bundle over the cost of new construction. Thanks for sharing that! Rick

Great pictures, thanks for sharing! Rick

Chap, the question is do you see DCC for you. I got back into the hobby about a year ago. Didn't know a thing about DCC so I started reading. OK for a small layout like mine (still in planning) double main line with continuous runnin with 2 small yards, that can run 0-6 engines at one time with...

Morning all, about 28 and that white stuff is coming down, bout 6" so far. Have a great day. Rick
