Wow!!!Hey!!! we got rain here, whoopie...N Gauger said:Bad news: Rain Rain... go away......
Good news - 3 day weekend!! -- For our founder Columbus
The difference Mikey, is that being in the desert, we are at somewhere around six inches for rain so far for the year, and we never ever don't like it when it rains. Well, some newcomers from PA might not like it but after you've been here a while you change.sign1sign1sign1sign1
Yep, never thought I would pray for rain.ezdays said:

Afternoon Everyone. It is a chilly 49 degrees here, supposed to get up into the high 50's but I don't think it will. Other than that, I am off to play with my trains.
Good Morning All from NE OhioWhere the temp is 50 deg with Blue Clear Skies and headed to 70 deg. !
The OTTS group had a great day at the Berea Train Show yesterday. After the show many of us went out for a bite to eat at the Station Restaurant.
And then railfaning
and some of the new diecast cars that I pick up at the show

One more beautiful day here - then damp and cold tomorrow....... The donuts will be warm though 
Morning all. Back in NC. WI weather was better than NC. Suppose to change this week and we get warmer and they get cold. Congrats Gramps. Nice looking kid. Must take after its Grandmother.

Got three new DPM buildings built and placed on temporary streets/sidewalks, fixed and repainted one turret building twice. Cut a new sliding door in the blue transfer building and built a loading dock, added an entrance door with stairs and false inside walls for later interior modeling. Added speed limit and other trackage signs, and weathered the couplers on rolling stock and diesels.
Things I learned from all this: (1) Painting a detailed brick Nscale building is hard. (2) Glueing Nscale buildings square is harder. Reading the directions would have cut down on a lot of frustration and re-work (see 1 & 2). If you cut wrong with an Xacto knife - make a sliding door to cover up the mistake!
All in all, not a bad weekend in cool North Carolina.
