    Brutus, we may be able to work something out. I have a meeting for several days, but will stay afterward to enjoy Disney with the family. We will have the car as we are driving down. Maybe we can come get you and head out to a train store? We will have to see and be flexible as schedules...

    Sorry, just had to post a little reply on the other place. BFS has gotten under my craw a few times. Did get some wiring done on the layout. Have all switches wired, just need to work on the power pick ups and then I should have all rails powered and ready to go. Dennis

    Good evening. Back hurts from having camera duty for both services. I like doing it, but would rather do lighting. Was a good day with the family and after this post, do some reading and head for bed. Nice to see the photos. Chief, I think you are getting a reputation as a problem solver...

    Good afternoon guys. Waiting on a emergency case to arrive. This makes two Fridays in a row with these. On a good note, a good friend from Tennessee is on his way down, so when we finish this case, a few of us are getting together for sushi. Got some work at the house and a little train...

    Chief, I may try that "Like rabbits, they're multiplying" thing with the wife to explain how the kids closets have been filled with my trains! Then again, it could cause my southern belle to come unhinged and pop me one. Getting ready to head in. Big day with plenty of cases. Will try to...

    Morning Chief! Everyone else, glad to check in and see all the good news and activity here. I see Selector has popped in on the other place again. You'ld think that they would have a more cordial, less puffed up person representing Kalmbach on the forums. Anyway, looks like Buckeye is...

    Happy New Year's eve to everyone! The weekend did not turn out as hoped. Had to do some cases and it kept me away from home and fun. We have a few cases this morning and then I plan to head home to catch up on some rest. My bride has some things she needs me to take care of and then I hope...

    Laz, I was hoping to get one of those, but I am afraid SWMBO would have my hide. She went to put up some of my son's toys from Christmas, when she opened his closet door, she found it completely full of my trains. Hope she doesn't check the daughter's closet next. Dennis

    Brutus, I would NOT use the red locktite as if you do, you will need to use heat to unscrew the screws or it will strip them. It is fine for automotive uses, where you can safely get heat on them, but for our purposes, Don't do it. Stuck here doing an emergency. Real big case and now I am...

    Evening all. Chief, great to chat today. Always good to talk with friends. Ozzy, one thing about the Pet scans, they have "false positives", that is not to say that they are not good, but I want you to know before hand so that you don't get upset if they tell you that they have a few places...
