PRR man, but you do have plenty to be thankful for. You have a roof over your head, even if your head does hurt. You have food to eat, even if your mom isn't a great cook, you have intelligence to go to high school and learn at least the basics enough that you can take the time now to plan a...

Just got off the phone with my bride, we got our Fed check today and before I could say anything, she said "Forget it, you are still on train restriction":cry:. I guess she is right, once I get the layout mostly done, I am sure some more purchases will be in store. Oh Well, guess I have to get...

Well, another day, another emergency. I am not complaining, I am well compensated for my work, but we usually prefer it on a scheduled basis. I did not get any layout or doll house work this weekend, but I hope to this week will allow me to do some. Chief, between the mayor duties and the part...

Good Morning. I am on call, so I go in a bit later. Supposed to go to 78 today, so I think it is shorts again. Gotta love being in the South (well, until July comes about, then it's time for AC). I have been reading some of my older train magazines and noticing the advancements (mostly)...

Good evening Y'all! Chief I tried to post yesterday, but the computer just wouldn't get it through, finally gave up. Tom That is quite a nice locomotive. I have a friend from South Africa and he has some video that he took at the engine facilities of the Garretts getting ready for the day's run...

Evening all. Jon, I have been to Colorado a number of times. Most years, I go Elk and Bear hunting. Have very good friends that own a Title company in Durango. Have been wanting to visit for some time now, but schedule hasn't worked out. They fly into New Mexico and drive up. I have also...

I like that idea Chief. As to York, never been. Perhaps we can arrange for the next one....a southern invasion the likes of which have not been seen since the 1860s....this time, we will be victorious! dennis

Kurt, It is a little bigger than a PW geep. I'd say between a Geep and a PW FM Trainmaster. It is scale, so over all, the dimmensions are a little bigger, but not by that much. I don't have it and one of my PW Geeps out for comparison right now, but just from memory. Mine is the Jersey...

Kurt, I think you will like the baby trainmaster...neat engine and with TMCC, it will be great for switching, etc. The Lackawanna set could put a bunch of cars, but if you don't have the room, kind of a waste. Going into the low 80s here in beautiful SW Georgia. Only problem is that the...

Kurt and anyone else who may be interested: I found the same K-Line TMCC Lackawanna F3 set that I got on eBay. The guy has a 100% rating and I think it is starting out at a good price. I wouldn't go more than $450 as you can get a new set for a little more than that at some of the vendors in...

Kurt, as to favorite TMCC engine...not really sure. I really like the CNJ H16-44 "Baby Trainmaster", but I think that the "Lackawanna" set from K-Line has the upper hand. It has cloth covered passageways between units, all powered trucks, great graphics and add on detail. And can pull a...

HELP! I'm being attacked by a 3 year old! She is wanting to cut my hair with a pair of plastic scissors. :o OK, I think she went around the corner, I'll try to type fast before she comes back... It is a beautiful day here in Georgia. Currently high 60s going into the 80s. There is the...

:Patriot1:Getting ready for bed. Wife and kids are already there. Dog is asleep at my feet. All is well. Got an email from a friend in the Marines who just arrived at points East. Shame he is away from wife and 2 month old baby girl, but we are blessed that such fine men hold the line so that we...

Sir James, one of the things you want to do is have a "baseline" stress test. This way, if you have an episode in the future, they can judge whether you have sustained damage. Another thing would be if over the years, you were to show a decrease in heart function, they could possibly fix...

Don, I think this is the national holiday for athiests. At least according to the judge who dismissed a athiest's lawsuit against all religious holidays. But onto other topics. I have no cases today and hope it stays as such. A friend of ours purchased another house and I plan on helping him...

Well, the day moved along after the first case. Got out at a reasonable time. Came home and did a lot of work on the doll house. Purchased some outlets for the lights and also a bunch of lights. You gotta see these things! Chandeliers, table lamps, wall sconces, etc. Some of them cost more...

Quick stop by this morning. All ready to go, but patient's condition requires us to move things along. Will check in later. Hope everyone is well. Dennis

Good evening all. Doug, I ended up working the light board. They had made the schedule out, but left this last week of the month off. We had enough folks to cover all bases. Was a good evening service. Pastor spoke of Psalm 59 with regard to being surrounded by enemies. The message evolved...

Good Afternoon Y'all! Well, it was a great service this morning and a blessed day so far. Sunday school was neat as we have a theology professor for a teacher. I had made some more of the Cheesecake/chocolate chip cookie squares and brought them to the media department....they were...

Good Morning Y'all! Overcast here, but temps are comfortable. I have some trees to cut up, so I hope to get most of the work done this morning before it gets too hot. Bride has already gone shopping and back. She made us all breakfast and now the crumb snatchers and ankle biters are begging...
