1999 so i read this thread and replied this morning while i was compiling a program at work. Then while still waiting i walked to the coffee room to top up my cup. while there i discovered a December 1999 Reader's Digest on the top of the magazine pile. (I know thats kinda old and it made me...

Saskatchewan We are in the $1.25 (CAN) per liter here in central Saskatchewan. I nearly cried when it cost me more than $55 to fill my car. On a good day it is less than 40$. Oh well i guess i will be taking the motorcycle everywhere as it gets over 60 m/g in the city.

If you click the pictures they work fine. it is only the preview that does not work very well. That is a very cool layout. I think i might try and make one in a coffee table like that some day.

Well i hope your weather is a little better in the east than it is here. We got a heck of a wind out here and it is 8*C not supposed to warm up until Monday. Oh well maybe we will make it out to the lake on Monday as friends just got a brand new Pontoon boat.

I have purchased a few from the US through Ebay and stores and never had any problem getting them into Canada. Also bought one from a ebay seller in Great Britain. Paid too much money for it but it got here with no issues. As a fellow toy steamer fan i hope you find one and enjoy many hours...

Digikey 3M Scotchlok series is what you are looking for. Digikey would be my choice for getting the connectors. Digi-Key Corporation - USA Home Page search for Scotchlok click on terminal splices gives you a list of 6 or so. Digikey works with small quantities with really fast shipping...

I don't think i will put one on my layout. Probably a restaurant or 2 but no chip stand. I was thinking about doing a fresh fruit stand though. A friend of mine runs a fruit business in northern Ontario and I was thinking that a truck selling fruit from the back would be a nice way to honor...

Well we don't see too many chip stands in Saskatchewan. And i don't remember seeing many in Manitoba either. There are lots of places to get Fries or Poutine, in fact i don't think i know of a restaurant that does not have fries on the menu. However fish are a little sparser here. Maybe it is...

I want one Let me know when you have this donut shop available for sale. I want one on my layout. It will definatley be a Timmies. I drink their coffee like cars drink gasoline.

that made my day. I might use that line on someone.

My plans involve laying track and basic scenery. Also might build up a few buildings. The non rail road plans include building a garden shed / motorcycle garage, and helping my cousin get ready for his wedding in which I am the best man.

I like the pic of the CTC board. It looks just like many of the Control panels i have seen used by modelers. Also gives me some ideas for how i will be building mine up. Thanks

Was this the NASA train that people were talking about? Prepare for liftoff.

Canned air I find that the cans of compressed air for cleaning keyboards and other electronics work well for this task. They can be a little expensive however. Good thing I get a "deal" on them at work.

Not much Modeling For me this weekend consisted of outdoor activities as it was a nice 20*C weekend. Sun and warm = Yard work. I did get some pics taken of the current mess, I mean layout, as it sits right now. I will try and get them posted up tonight. I did play my first game of lacrosse...

It kinda makes one wonder how clean their bathrooms really are if the Janitor was unable to get in for a couple of 6 hour trips. :) Oh well when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

I like it. It has a kind of Russian Cold war feel to it. Definitely looks official and professional. Well done.

I need a guy like that to find me in the hobby shop. :) maybe someday.

This is looking great. I like the look of the brick walls. I will be watching for some completed pics.

This looks great good job. I am very impressed with how close these two are.
