Where is everyone? I'm here! But my work isn't good enough to place in a contest! I'm still just a beginner. But maybe some day! I tried to vote in the photo contest, but for some reason the gauge won't let me vote for all the photos at the same time! I thought that they all looked good so I...

It is a sad thing to happen, from what I saw on the news, the engineer was only 23-25 years of age. my thought is, just how much experience can that young of man have to be running a super train like that? From what I saw on the news, two of the cars were flattened like pancakes!! I never...

Ok, my turn, I made a couple of buys, had the MO in the mail the next day,(MO sent by certified mail) got my stuff real fast! Was really happy! Then the blow came, I won a bid, sent the MO the next day, (by certified mail as always) got my signed return note from post office a week later...

Thank you everyone!!!! And yes I do walk a straight line with Brenda!!

Green Cab - every day power poles running electric power to your house, as soon as I can figure out to make minature working telephones, I'll start hanging phone lines, the biggest problem is getting the minature ringers in the phones to work! And those micro size speakers are really a pain to...

I am not a member of the NMRA. But don't get me wrong, I do like what they have done about getting the standards set so that all comply. I pat those fine folks on the back for that. What the Gauge has taught me is more rewarding than anything that I have found so far. Shortly after becoming a...

Thank you all for your kind words, I finally got Brenda to help me take some soldering photos on pretinning the tips and cleaning dirty tips and a few others, now I just have to sit down and go through the photos and put them in order with what I will be explaining. It takes me about 5 hours...

Robin, - it was not being brave to marry Brenda, it was being smart, someone gives me trouble, I just say sickem!! Besides, Brenda is 61 years of age (acts like she is still 35) and is a "Retired ATF agent". Being brave? "No" Smart, somewhat! She also carries her Rugger 357 in her purse...

LOL!! LOL!! LOL!! Brenda was born in VA. and ran all over VA. and TN. Yes, her dad did teach her how to make a perfect 13 wrap noose and she "IS" very good at it. She even told me that hogs eat everything including the bones with no remains left to test!!! So needless to say, I don't do any...

I told Brenda that I wanted to build a new underground RR. She said, OK, go for it. So I waited till she left for town then I got started. I failed to tell her that I really meant an underground RR. In the second photo, I'm at the point where I'm about ready to start cutting out the floor to...

Ralph, -- it's scratch! I used a little tin cup that had a candel in it. I wrapped a couple of rubber bands around it, then started inserting balsa wood strips and glued them together as I went around. I used straight pins stuck into a peice of cardboard and made a jig for the leggs and...

My daddy said that I never could drive worth a darn!

Thank you all for your kind words, I have been playing around with painting my own backdrop at the shop, but so far, it's going to stay at the shop. I'm using a Sony Digital Mavica camera with MPEG movie thing. I have tried a hundred times to get all the lights to show up good and still be able...

Robin, Val, CN1, Tom & Livesteam -- Thanks for the kind words, but that was all Brenda's work. I showed her what you kind folk said, and her remark was that I was the "NASTY ONE" not her. I told her, no guts, no glory! She came back with: Go for it nasty boy!! LOL

Slowly getting there. Still a ways to go in the flat lands.

Jetrock -- Forgive Pappa, he is old and forgetfull from time to time. And it's not the first time that Granny had clean his drawers! And Brenda said that there was no way that she was going to try to paint Pappa with his pants down, although I don't know why!! LOL

Pappa Joe thought that no one was looking when he ran to the old out house. Pappa was in such a hurry that he forgot to close the door and we caught him in the act!

Dorcas -- For we all are not faceless people. If you go look in the menu under "Faces", you will see that a lot of us are just a bunch of ugly old farts, (such as myself) and you will see some young farts also. And if I remember correctly, there are a few perrrrrty ladies , (as we say here...
