Morning Everyone Doug, when is she due back? Chris' group only went to DC, they were scheduled to go to France, but then cancelled due to lack of participants. BTW my congradulations!!! With all the forum demeanor discussions, You ALWAYS take the High Road. Now, Dennis, Chief and others I...

Jon, I've got the perfect solution, just come on out to Sunny So. Cal., and build that layout out here !!!! No need to tear that one down! That would be terrible. You can't do that!!!! Just let me know when you are ready !!

Greetings, Yep, still around, sure will be glad when all this coughing is behind me, and have a full day's of energy. Had to come to the office today, Kay was working at my desk, looked down and there was a lizard sitting on top of the tower next to the desk. Now busy "Lizzard Looking", never...

Happy Easter all! Started to post earlier, but then remembered I wanted to see about a pcmcia card for the laptop. Thought I would get a serial port for downloading DCS 4.0. Found some rather cheap $8 or $9 and about the same for shipping. The only problem is it supposedly ships from Hong...

Sure envy sledding with a 5 yr old, sounds like tremendous fun! Forget the aches and pain, that will go away. BTW, unfortunately you can rent motel rooms at 18, I called a few and asked. They are really good kids, but temptation will get to anyone. It's getting warm here, way to hot for...

Good Day All ! Still not a 100% but coming around. Train therapy helped last night! Need more today. Weather here is suppose to be record setting this weekend, up to the 90's, crazy. Roy and Doug, as the kids get old it doesn't get a whole lot easier. Chris (19 in May) and his girlfriend...

Afternoon All !! :wave: I think I might make it! Been down all week, probably got some virus from the computer. Haven't even looked at the computer since Monday, but things are coming back around. Sure has been a lot happening, though! (Not surprised). Glad to hear everyone is doing OK...

Morning All !!! And a Happy St. Pat's day !!! Going to have some green beer and bagels for breakfast. Then head off to work. Had a real busy weekend, glad thats' done. Did find time to run trains for a little bit saturday night. Chris was switching stuff around moving cars delivering...

One busy weekend planned, working two shows on Saturday, one on Sunday. Brother from Sacramento is down for the weekend, will have dinner with he and his wife this evening. Going to proceed with getting a group of guys together at our train club to simulate RR operations, have about 8 or 10...

Evening all ! Update on my engine identity issue. Plugged in the battery charger and let it set overnight. This morning tried deleting the engine and readding it. IT MAGICALLY TRANSFORMED OVERNIGHT !!! The engine has lost its Trolley identity, and now believes its a Mainline Diesel again...

Good Evening and all that.... Remember that post I put up the other day? I've referenced the particular statement above, because...... Tonight was doing regular PM on engines and rolling stock. So I bring out the MTH UP AC4000 cw (Avatar), and it won't start up. Its been sitting for awhile...

I can't believe it, gone for a few days and the forum goes crazy! Doug and Sir James having problems setting their clocks and adapting to the time change. Laz getting comp days for going to work. Dennis is so movie struck he's moving furniture in the kitchen, (probably setting up a photo...

Glad everyone is doing well, given all the snow, generator problems and such. (John, recommend you put a small amount of oil ON the engines not bathing them in it.) Anyway, everything has been fine here, (no boycott or anything). I have been doing a lot of work on our website data base, and...

Chief, Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to make it. Besides "Gander Mountain" sounds like someplace from a movie I once saw. Not sure I want to be there with a bunch of guys. Especially, if they led the nation in charger sales.

Good Evening ... Had a quiet day under the layout. Working on wiring the control panel to track switches. Did pretty good, pleased with results. Got more adjusting and tweaking to do. But it is all coming together. Enjoyed watching Nascar race as well, (even though the guys I have in the...

I don't think the "OLD man in CA will be troubled with the shakes" unless of course he is at the San Diego Train Museum with a whole lot of kids. Need to be more considerate of him, he is a little sensitive about the gray hair and beard. (Watchin out for your backside Doug) Whatched MIB...

Mike/John I remember all that, you use to be able to by some kits and had some neat stuff at RS. Those tube testers also where everywhere, markets, drug stores, you name it. Now I see some tubes being sold at swap meets as collectible items. Still remember the old electronic classes, tubes...

Thanks guys for all the screw information! I had gotten (good English, huh), some Gargraves screws from a shop here, about 70 miles away. They were cheap and perfect. Didn't want to pay for shipping and do a credit card transaction for such a small amount. So thought certainly the other...
