Thanks CSX - actually, the new issue of Nuts and Volts just came today. So, I've got that to read as well as the new CTT mag. Working on a science fair project with my son, too. I think we have just a couple weeks left and of course we have not yet started. Nice pics, Jeffrey - looks like...

I've got a couple books and an issue of that magazine as well as a kit I bought from radio shack. Now I just need some free time, lol!

Jeffrey - that's funny, like the basket place that has a building shaped like a giant basket - Longeberger? SP? Furnace guy came, ran trains a little bit, took kids out to lunch and just got home from Walmart with them. I bought them each a movie and now we are watching Kit Kitteridge American...

Cold in St. Louis, down to 44 degrees again and headed for colder. I need to drop the kids off at school tomorrow, HVAC guys is coming to do a clean and check on the furnace, then pick up kids and take them to lunch - off for the rest of the week. Gonna get some train time in tomorrow and plot...

Howdy guys - just took it easy all day. Ran my son up to the store for a little while, so he could spend some money that was burning a hole in his pocket, but other than that we just hung out all day. New CTT showed up in the mail and so did the switches I won the other day - man, that was...

It's up to 22 degrees now, but gas is down around $1.50 - at least until the other countries start ramping up again and supplies go back down. I got an "OUTSTANDING" year-end review at work, which was totally cool and may result in some more train $$$ John - glad Don is okay, ash washes...

Cold cold cold! Chief - sounds like the Global Cooling got ya! Jeffrey, sounds like a great job!

John - interesting! The current/former platform is about 500 feet from the front entrance of the building where I work in downtown St. Louis. There is a highway between them, but it is elevated. Here is a picture of the yard you are thinking of an you can see the Amtrak loading platform on...

57 in St. Louis now, but it's going to get cold again. Truck was not done today as they found more damage to the frame and also the cab was damaged when the truck bed section flexed into it, apparently. Should be done tomorrow, they said. I'm getting used to the Ford Edge, but I still would...

29 degrees in St. Louis. No snow though, lol! Thanks for the pic Jeffrey. No trains today, although I did ID a camelback in a pic I took last year at the train museum. It was in the shed and the lighting was bad, so ithe picture I could just see the front end and the engine number. Checked...

This is a "mini diecast" and is about perfect O scale, really. I checked ebay a minute ago and they are for sale in USA now for about $19.95 for the set with the Dalek. Now, the Dalek is too big, but hey - it's a toy, right!

Sorry man, missed that the first time. I got the Tardis in a set with Dalek Sek on ebay from a shop in the UK. Including the shipping and handling to Missouri it cost about US $30, but I thought it was worth it. I also have a Wheatabix truck I bought as a nod to my favorite living author...

Howdy folks - didn't do anything today except take a shower and hang out with my son. We just played video games and watched dvds. Hmmm - why am I so tired?

Hey Oz - good luck, I hope they replace it for you! John - ;) I think there is something in the Good Book against mixing MTH and Lionel, isn't there? :-^ Jeffrey, looks like a nice day in the park! it snowed a little here last night, but too warm to stick!

I've got one that I burned up on some o27 track - had to replace the motor and e-board, as you might remember, lol! Hey, did you finish your doll house project? How about a picture? Here is another pic of my new locomotive cruising by the Tardis at my daughter's farm:

Nice loco, Jeffrey! John - sounds like a nice haul, let us know how modding the 4-4-2 goes. Is it an old conventional one? 35 degrees in St. Louis and snow flurries! Yikes, a couple days ago it was about 60 degrees!!!

Happy birthday John! Hope you get something with flanged wheels! Did I miss another one? 48 degrees in St. Louis. Working 8 hours tomorrow at time and a half - yay! Gotta say I like that Amtrak loco, Jeffrey, thanks for the pic.

No error yet, but I haven't hit post. Worked today and signed up for Saturday, 8 hours! That's it for OT for the month due to computer upgrades and then the holiday. Then we travel to KC for a weekend, and then Christmas - man, where did this year go? Trainz shipped my bobbing head santa car...

Looks like a good job, Jeffrey! 50 degrees in St. Louis, dull and gray outside. Dark now, of course. Had a pretty good day at work. Watching Hellboy II with the family - great great movie! I can't wait for the third one!

I'm waiting for the nu-cu-lar missile and legacy set I won ;) Welcome back, Chief! Take it easy, Jeffrey - thanks for the pic. Good night, John-boy :)
