    Updated Tortoise Wiring Plan

    Thanks Jon. Don't stuff yourself and leave room for dessert. cid - I did all the wiring of the CAT5 to the Torti pins at the bench, or in my case, the desk. Each was then hung on the wall out of the way until I needed them for install under the table, after which I mounted them under the...

    Halloween Problems

    Well after 33 thread viewings I had hoped someone would have found my little stab at humor moderately amusing. Ah, well.... a writer for Letterman I'm not. yellowlynn, it actually wouldn't be short for anything - it is what it is. Most people would simply see it as one's initials and...

    A Strictly Personal Request

    I sent him one too. Quite an accomplishment and one that should not go without the proper fanfare. Oh, billk, et al - as to the emails coming back - it's because you spelled yahoo with one extra "o". I was a pro musician in my younger days too - man that was the happiest time ever! Except...

    New website

    Xaniel - you're way ahead of most doing what your are! Photoshop is a killer app! And using Notepad to code (outstanding!!!) is a very fulfilling way to get your sites together, not to mention the best way to know every nut and bolt you've got holding it all together. That's true web design -...

    New website

    I'd have to offer up my own webmaster experience. I used Frontpage to create my company's Intranet. It is a good product - provided you're using version 2000 or better. But if you want to be creative, original and really get good at and (most importantly) understand the guts behind web content...

    Disaster on Eagle Mountain

    Sorry guys - I read these posts at a bad moment in the day and I guess I took it out here. Hope you can forgive the outburst. I don't think it was really meant for any of you.

    Disaster on Eagle Mountain

    All kidding aside: To those who think it's okay to mace, shoot and otherwise bash animals, SHAME ON YOU! :mad: :mad: I'll admit I'd be pretty upset over my work being crushed like this, but that wouldn't ever justify inflicting pain or even death on a living creature. What are you thinking...

    Disaster on Eagle Mountain

    In this case I'm glad I have a one man scaredy-cat. One look at the trains or even the sound of them and he scoots. Of course not without giving me a look that says, "thanks a lot - yeah, that's worth disturbing me!" Sorry about the damage Tom... but remember to be kind to your 200' KittyCat...

    Halloween & spooky train stories

    It was a cold and blustery night and the wind howled through the trees. I was alone. Over in the distance I saw a shining glimmer and was strangely compelled to have a closer look. As I drew nearer my eyes were met with something I'd never seen. It was a brass steam loco and the price sticker...

    Motivated!!

    I can't get motivated. I've plenty to do... mountains and hills to build, scenery to create, backdrop to finish, decoders to install, lights, couplers and wheelsets to replace, blah blah blah. lately, I simply don't do any of it - I need something to light the required fire under my butt and...

    Saturday , Sit Down, Have A Cup, And Say Hello.

    Good Morning to The Gauge! Rubbing my eyes... still trying to wake up - thank goodness the coffee is good. Ah... there's the clickity-clack of tiny little wheels over my right shoulder. Could it be? YES - it's my fellow engineer making his morning run. I've been very slack with working on...
