'Morning, all! Cool, but not as cold as last two mornings. No frost today. Should get up into the 60's by late afternoon. One more Christmas party to attend this evening. They're fun, but I'll be glad to stay home tomorrow night. Waiting on a couple of train purchases to arrive - a...

John - Those are gorgeous F-3s! What a find!

Good morning from frosty Prattville. Looks like a very pretty, if chilly, day today. Still fighting the sinus stuff - might as well learn to enjoy it, I guess. My wife and I have another Christmas party to attend tonight - they're fun and the food is good, but I'm looking forward to Thursday...

Hey, all! Just got in from our staff Christmas party. Lots of good food! Boy, am I stuffed. Jeffrey, sorry to hear about your foot. Hope it heals up okay. John, sorry to hear about the power outages - hope things are back to normal. Chief - tough situation. Maybe you could put the "fear...

Looks like continued good progress, Frank! The building mock-ups really give a sense of where you're going with your plans. Cold and sunny in Prattville. At least the wind has died down. Started the day in the mid-20s. May get to the mid-40's later today. Fighting sinus drainage and...

Afternoon, all! Cold and windy in Prattville today. Went over to Montgomery for lunch with wife's sister's family for early Christmas dinner. Back at the church now. Youth have their musical program tonight. Hope everyone's having a good Sunday!

Morning, all! Doug, I'll take a cup of coffee, black, but I'll pass on the chili, thanks! Jess, glad you stopped by the caboose. Coffee's on the stove - help yourself! Finally getting some rain here this morning as a cold front moves through. Supposed to drop down in the twenties next...

A bit farther up this thread I saw where you have a Kibri building that you want to bash into an engine house. Looks like an excellent starting point! Please post pics of your progress when you begin that project. The layout's looking good! :thumb:

'Morning from Dixie. Clear and cooler this morning. No fog for the first time in days. Temps are supposed to drop rapidly over the weekend. Spanky, John Baker's birthday was yesterday, but I do appreciate the thought! :mrgreen: Eldest daughter is home for Christmas break. Son drives down...

bday1bday2:wave7: Happy Birthday, John B.!

Thanks for the overview of the layout. Good use of curved turnouts to save space - nice job!

Hmmm. Sounds like Hiz'onor needs to set up a train layout or display in the mayor's office! How 'bout it, Chief?

Nicely done!

I have developed a fascination for Australian narrow gauge, particularly the Victoria Railway and the "Puffing Billy" line. I'm seeking a source to order locos, freight cars/wagons, guards vans, etc. in the U.S. So far, I've not had any luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I may have...

Very sorry to hear of Gil Finn's passing. I remember him as a regular fixture on OGR -a very nice fellow with a good sense of humor. Praying for his family in their loss. Not as warm today, but still overcast. A cold front is on the way and our weather will change drastically, getting much...

I've always been fascinated with English railway equipment and Aussie narrow gauge. Is your equipment primarily Hornby or some other manufacturer? Can you recommend a good north American source for English style trains?

Good morning! Fog as thick as pea soup this morning. Highs are to get up into the 80's this afternoon. Then, we'll be back down in the 20's by Sunday. Gotta love variety! :mrgreen: We have our staff Christmas party in about an hour, which basically means we'll eat ourselves into oblivion...

It's strange how such a large part of the country is getting ice storms and snow while the southeast is warm and balmy. :confused: Hope you folks up north weather the ice storms safely!

Mornin', all. Warm and foggy this a.m. Still need rain! Frank53 - that looks like a great solution for the visual transition between the two levels! With your modeling skills, I'm sure it will turn out great! I made my first purchase from the new Bachmann/Williams - a GP-38 in the GM&O...

Good morning, all! Unseasonably warm in Prattville today. Another very foggy morning, too. Dennis, thanks for the tip. I'll write down the name of the group and pass it along to our worship minister. Staff meeting in 15 minutes, so I'll say "so long," for now. Hope everyone has a good day!
