    My Layout So Far -- Feedback Welcome!

    I certainly like what I see here! Can you show an overall view of your layout or post a trackplan? You've done a nice job on the scenery. Are you interested primarily in just running trains or are you inclined toward operation? (switching, timetables, etc.)

    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] Part III

    Good afternoon from overcast central Alabama. Warmer and kind of dreary weather the past two days, but no rain. Fog was very bad this AM but has cleared off. Chief - that's a wonderful thing you did for that boy! I'm sure he'll enjoy his trains for years to come. John - likewise, it's nice...

    Got the coffee maker on and getting ready for the day off. Have to make a trip to the bank, then buy a couple of Christmas gifts for the wife. Then, to the grocery store to get what I need to make vegetable soup! Have a good day, everyone!

    Good morning! Temp not as low this am but still a sizable frost on the grass. The wind-chill is pretty frigid, though. Our local high school football team is back in the state championship game, defending our title this Saturday at Legion Field in Birmingham. We're ranked number 2 in the...

    Morning, all! Cold and sunny in Dixie this a.m. 30 degrees and a nice covering of frost. Should warm up to mid 60's later today. Still need rain! Anyone in the Pacific northwest want to send some our way? Jeffrey - very nice shot of the SD-40-2! I like the lower camera angle - makes you...

    Frank - the track plan looks great! Do you foresee any problems with access to the corners or the upper level?

    Congratulations to Mayor Eagles! Cold and sunny in central Alababama. A lot of frost on the roof and ground when I left the house this morning. It's "warmed" up to 40 as I type this. Hope everyone has a good day!

    Hey Laz! Good luck on the deer hunting trip. Last night I saw half a dozen deer close to the house (does and little ones). The bucks stay in hiding. Sorry to hear about those of you with troubles with the Atlas 0-6-0. I had considered buying one, but think I'll wait. Leaning toward the...

    Morning, all! Frank, I like the track plan, particularly the broad curves. Looks like a good track to scenery ratio. Will all the track be level or will you have any grades?

    'Morning, again. Back from the dentist - Look, ma! No cavities! :mrgreen: Just a clean and a poke and see you in six month, thanks. Another pretty day today - mild temps and low humidity with full sunshine. Still very dry in central Alabama (and most of the state) so we're still hoping for...

    'Evening, all! Just got in from church a while ago. Off tomorrow - I visit the dentist in the a.m. (routine check) then run some errands. May set up the "benchwork" for the Christmas layout in between. Hope everyone has a good evening!

    'Morning! The coffee sure is good this AM! I'm having a cup with a piece of apple cake my assistant made - good stuff! Cold and sunny this morning. I had to scrape some ice off my truck's windshield this morning. Should warm up into the upper 60's today. Another cold front coming through...
