    Is Model Railroader lagging?

    They only had 2 pages and 5 pictures. You'd think from probably the world's largest MR convention you'd have more stuff, but NO! And as for Armstrong, they gave him 3 of the tiniest paragraphs I have seen in quite a while and one little teeny tiny pic of him. Heck, he isn't even pictured working...

    A postcard from Florida...

    Guess what, IVAN'S BACK! This time however, he's gonna dump several inches of rain this weekend over the TX hill country. And what about Jeanne? It's a cat 2 w/winds of 105 MPH moving right toward the East Coast of Florida. And guess what? Once it reaches FL, it's gonna head up the East Coast...

    Micro-Machines That Work for Me!

    Ah, don't worry about perfection. After all, this is the Dairy Queen layout right? If it is, then non train folk won't notice b/c they can't tell. ;)

    Wahoo! Entering the four-digit club!

    Way to go! At my rate, it'll take about 2-3 years. ;)

    A postcard from Florida...

    UPDATE: Ivan will make landfall around Pensacola in the wee hours of Thursday. Sir_Prize, the move to Sweetwater was probably a bad idea because the remanants of Ivan the terrible will STALL just north of you. You will be flooded out the entire weekend. It looks like the danger has passed for...

    A postcard from Florida...

    Guys heres an Ivan update. It has winds of 140 MPH, headed straight for Jamaica. Then it's off to the Cayman Islands and Cuba before making landfall at Sir's front door(like Charley) or right for shaygetz (Frances), or somewhere in between(Tampa). If I were you, I'd start making plans now to get...

    A major warning for Labor Day weekend

    Frances (as you know) is going to make landfall on the panhandle tonight. It should go west of Atlanta and affect E.Alabama tomorrow and be a depression. It should dump tons of rain on the Appalachians so Tyson is in line to get rain & some wind out of this system. It'll affect Eastern and...

    The most you pulled?

    I think my SD80MAC pulled about 18 cars once. That was on a tiny table, no grade, and a toy transformer.

    A major warning for Labor Day weekend

    NEW UPDATE Hurricane Frances is now a category 2 system with winds of 105 mph. However it is moving slowly, is still massive, and is expected to get up to 20" of rain, maybe more. There were reports back when this was a cat 4 with wind gusts of 152 mph and storm surge of 3.5' to 4'. This report...

    A major warning for Labor Day weekend

    As you should know by now, WARNINGS are in place where the watches were last night. Things should go drastically downhill tomorrow. But there is a tiny sliver of hope, as a dry slot is developing in front of Frances, which could weaken it a tiny bit. It'll be in your hair FL for most of the...

    A major warning for Labor Day weekend

    They now have Hurricane WATCHES from FLA City in the South, to Flagler Beach in the North. They are also saying Frances is 3x the size of Charley, which according to the NHC, Frances is a normal major hurricane size. Evacuations have been confined only to certain residents. This sounds pretty...

    Two who months without Atlas. Took me a week to get that acceptance email. Sounds like Atlas as usual. I'll take a look at the site, but I already figure that it'll be about same.

    A major warning for Labor Day weekend

    This is for those of you on the S.E. coast, espically FLA. Hurricane Frances is headed for you guys this labor day weekend, and if all forecast models are right, we could be in for another Charley, as it's a major Cat 4 storm. It should hit either Saturday or Sunday. So if you don't want to end...

    Inadequate obituary in MR

    After all, I found out on the net first that John had died. I may/may not have seen his work, but even 4' by 8' with industrial sidings wouldn't work for me but his trackplans might. Why? For one thing, having prototypical perfection would be impossible for me, heck I can't even cut a sign...
