    John, Not to get off the trains theme here, but on the dollhouses, where do you buy most of your supplies? Also, what is your source for "Weldbond", "Grandmother Stover's Stikflat Glue" ? My bride and daughter are on me to get this thing done soon. Thanks, dennis

    Hello everyone! been a bit on the rainy side lately, no complaints as this area desperately needs it. Not much going on. Did some follow up blood work to make sure my cholesterol meds are doing their job. Also making sure no hepatitis, etc. (common in my profession). Sent off money for...

    Don, I know what ya mean. I got a box from NC that said Legacy Big Boy on the side. Just kidding. Chief is great at helping the rest of us in the hobby. Glad to know him and count him as a friend. We went to the mall too Chief. Got some good deals, but somehow my wallet felt a lot...

    Jess, When I was in China, we had a guy who carved an entire verse of scripture on a goldfish bone...you need a magnifying glass to read it, but it is there and perfect letters. I say this that you may one day find fine detail cars for N or even Z gauge. Busy day as one guy is on vacation so...

    Merry Christmas!!! I'm a little under the weather, but did have a good day. Was quiet, only our immediate family. Kids are at a good age for it, 3 & 5. They are both spoiled rotten and our floors hold the evidence. They didn't know what to play with first. I did not get any train related...

    Happy Christmas Eve! Ozzy, get it checked, a lung resection is a lot better than not getting it treated if it is CA. We do a lot of them and other then getting over the "winded feeling" for awhile, the patients do well. Had a early Christmas present today. Opened my email to find a message...

    Just stopping in for a quick post. I stopped by the other place earlier and I see that someone wants to rehash old arguments...serves no good purpose. Anyway, we had 12 guests stay the night last night and they have all gone. The house is back to normal. Was going to take kids to see Santa...

    Got a minute to stop by before bed. In laws are here and it was a fun, but tiresome day. Had to deep fry a turkey and make lots of other fixins. Watched a few movies with them and now everyone is heading to bed. Really did well as wife is pleased and that is what matters. John B., did not...

    John, the doll house is from "Real Good Toys" from Vermont. The particular model is the "Victoria's Farmhouse". I hope to be a bit quicker than 3 months as the three year old won't put up with that. Looks like I will be heading to buy a large bottle of white glue. Colin, glad things went...

    Kurt, have to agree. We have a 5yo and a 3yo. I made the discovery tonight that the doll house for the 3yo is not the type where you just join the 4 walls and a roof.....NO! it is about 2000 individual pieces that I have to glue and paint/sand/repaint, etc. She is getting the box with the...

    John, Great looking engines. Good Luck with them. Dr. John, we are a bit chilly here too. I think the high was about 58 and low in upper 20s. Big front came through on Sunday morning, temps fell to the basement about noon. Chief, must say, I am glad you invited me here considering the spat...
