Hello again…
Vincent … here is one of three cabooses I did. Bachmann lettered its for Santa Fe and I repainted them to be CB&Q. At the time, I also tookd two Athearn Santa Fe cabooses in Burlington colors and repainted then to be ATSF.
You may note I have a tank car almost ugly enough for Robby to like.

Robby-#'s 1 ,2 and 4 are bay window. Your #3 and Chris’s are what I was looking for. Thanks. And those are neat tats.
Gary- That isn’t a wide vision.
Jeff- One heck of an engine. Lovely.
Thanks for sharing your pictures. But PLEASE, keep your cccold weather up north. Will be near freezing in a.m…Averaging 17 degrees below average per day. May get back to70 sunday or monday. Mrs. PC and JR sure didn’t expect this cold weather.Even Miami is below average.
Prayers and blessing for all. Goodnight!
Flip
Greetings from Sebring,
We waved as we drove by Flip, did you see us? And yes it’s chilly and very windy at the track. Yesterday went ok, having problems with one motor on a car we had dropped in our laps yesterday morning. I’ll just have a reglular to go pplease - gotta get back to it. Today we have qualifying and the 3 hour enduro and at the end of the day a 1 hour night race so we’ll see who’s up for all that. CUL,J.R.
Good morning all,
Off to the hospital today with Dorothy. Not much goin on.
Mornin’ all!
I’m a little slow to get going this morning. Guess I need my coffee, huh?
Prayers for all those in need…yeah, thats you! Me too!
Good morning! Ditto PC’s greeting. Frosty has left his signature on everything… Cannot see out of cars window. JR says its chilly. Sure,for him it is. Dang Yankee. Doesn’t realise anything below 60 is c c cold.
I took another look and found it. IHC,Southern, Track cleaning Wide vision caboose.
I’ll have a Denver omelette , whole wheat toast and black coffee, please. Yeah, at the R C ,please.
Prayers for all and warmer temps.
Flip
The boxcar and caboose I have are unassembled kits and I can’t guarantee that everything is there. What kind of 50’ boxcars you got.
Thanks. It was one of those freebie gifts I get from time to time. That doesn’t mean it’s any less appreciated. It’s a 2-10-2 T2-a from a Presidents Choice set. It came with a string of mine cars. I thought it could be better used on a tourist train. I numbered it 007 because I’m a James Bond nut.
Good morning all. French toast please. Yup, coffee too thanks.
Well, yesterday didn’t turn out as planned. Never did make it out to Mom’s to start loading the dumpster. Received a phone call from Brenda about the Arraignment hearing for the “beater” was postponed another week by the SA to allow more time to see how the child is going to be. A detective asked Brenda if she could come in and answer some questions and wanted to know if I would too. So since that was smack in the middle of the day and I had to work, I didn’t even go to Mom’s. Funny, The loser’s attorney argued he was entitled to a speedy trial when the SA asked for a continuance for one week. The Judge informed him he has thirty days from the time of arrest and it only been 2 weeks. So, granted. They also have the opportunity to have one more extension for a week. We’ll see.
Speaking of Anthony, the prayers and well wishes are paying off. Thank you. Had a bit of good news. His pancreas is healed. Now they just have to decide what to do with the cyst on it.
Jim- That’s ok about the cards. I forgive you. (sorry about the piece of cobbler too. It was the closest, softest thing . Uh, I think there’s still a little bit above your right ear. Sorry) But thanks for sharing the club photos. My hope is to get my layout to basically the same point in construction fairly soon. Not like this or next week, but not next year either. (crossed fingers)
Why is it Labradors must taste everything. She’s licking the carpet where she ate a treat. I guess that’s ok from the point of cleaning up “the table” but kinda unsettling at the same time. Makes me wonder just how much dog slobber is encrusted in our carpet[xx(]. Good thing spring is about here. We will be doing the spring cleaning and that includes the seasonal carpet shampooing.
Garry- I know what Burgoo is. But what is Derby PIE? I know it’s PIE so it more than likely is good.
Best get a movin
Have a Great Day!!!
Good morning. Its nice and sunny!!! Might hit 50 degrees Sunday!!!
Well I worked on a hopper last night, and I hope to finish it up this morning. I will get some shots up in a bit. I gotta run to the bank right now, and gas. Our car insurance is with Allstate. So we get the “safe driver bonus”. Hey its money, and I guess its good we haven’t wrecked in years!!
**Flip…**I kinda figured some were the wrong ones, but that’s all the caboose pictures I have. Seems like they are hard to find [:-^].
I will get some shots up of the hopper in a bit.
Todd … Here is the website for the real KY Derby Pie. You may visit them in Louisville area or use their link to order. You can find unofficial recipes if you google “Kentucky Derby Pie”. http://www.derbypie.com/ They sometimes serve a version of it at our state resort park here.
Also, Todd… Best wishes for you and Brenda with the detectives. A speedy trial for the #@#&!* beater? Nuts. Is your grandson having a speedy recovery from both physical and mental harm? … Where’s the lynch mob when it’s needed?
Flip … I did not follow all the caboose conversations… Here’s a wide vision looking as good as they could be in CB&Q silver and red. It is an Atlas model.
Good Morning–
Well–I’b doig a wee bit bedder todaysniff sniff coff coff so I’b dot as stubbed ub. Kinda sorta. If I keep at this I think I’ll be shaking it off by Sunday----maybe? [%-)][:-^]
There is a lot of SUN!! out today and it looks like our highs are starting to come out’n the basement—finally.
Today I’ll be in the basement doing some MR stuff AND wrapping myself up in the quilts and doing another dose of my rum toddies—[swg]
Todd: What is with the cobbler in the other fellow’s ear? Are we now in “Cobbler Wars”?[:-^]
I’ll have a coffee and toast with jam please—I’ll sit by the corder bood and…Blooooaaarrrtt!!!------[sigh] whoopie cushions [sigh]
Mornin’ everyone!
Zoe I’ll have a short stack of…
… What was that? OMG, Barry! Someone open the windows… Just coffee and I’ll go sit outside! Sheesh!
Later!

Good Afternoon,
Zoe, nothing for me today - oh, well, then make it a coffee in a large mug for me, please.
Today, we have received the official and formal notification of the foreclosure auction of our house - it´ll happen within the next couple of weeks. Not that I was hoping to be able to save it for us, but it is just, that I don´t have the strength to go through all of this.
Petra had to call the Doc to see after me, as I just blackened out.
I´ve been trying to get my mind of this misery, but it just did not work. Even this beautiful video (for steam fanatics only) did not cheer me up.
So I´ll be better off now!
Ulrich, Ihope it’s nothing serious. I have blackout periods of my own from time to time.
Good morning. It’s 37 and partly cloudy. The expected high is to be 64 and it will be partly.
Well I knew it would happen. I put up all those new lights in my yard to light a path where I know there’s nothing for me to trip over. Yesterday my next door neighbor put in his bid to keep Lowe’s in business by purchasing a bunch of solar lights for his yard, a few are the same type I have. I helped him get some ready while he put them where he wanted them. I looked at them last night and it looks good with the two yards lit up. Now maybe some of the neighbors will get off their duffs and put some up in their yards. After all, if a 50 year old cripple with all the mobility of the average 85 year old and his neighbor, a 57 year old with severe heart problems can do it, why can’t they? I figure we’ve set the mark, it’s time to see if some of the others can meet or beat it.
[sigh]I sit down on some whoopie cushions and this is what happens[sigh]
I’b goig bag to the corder bood and sit there with by back to the wall now-----[sigh]
gee—sounds so-----pathetic don’t it?[(-D][:-^]
Ulrich: [angel]
Der John, I thank you for your reply.
Keith: Do you paint white lines on cobblestone for the car lanes?
see if this works, paint up a short length of that cream coloured masking tape a dirty white. (I’d suggest alkyd rather than acrylic if you think the paint may flake on handling.) When dry transfer to a sheet of glass, and using a metal rule, cut scale 4" strips. On the point of an X-acto blade lift a strip and lay it on the cobble street where you need a trial line. Press into the contours of the material. How does it look? The beauty of this is that if you don’t like it, just lift it off again. Not so Dorky, eh?
Well John, your suggestion certainly has me thinking. After reading your reply, … Decals. You would think someone would have already made some. Perhaps another trip to the LHS and check out some decal paper.
John… lol… I really don’t know what the heck I’m thinkin~ Unless you actually sit down… and think of all the ways to divide up car lanes.
Yellow double lines… Double Double Yellow lines. Solid fat white lines for Crosswalks, single fat line… for Right Turn Only lanes. Then there are ways to divide up opposing traffic with Center Lane Islands… with bushes or trees… not to mention the Plastic Flexible Reflecting White Post… in the center of streets … to divide oposing traffic, so when your car does hit these things… they don’t break but just go “Whop whop whop… whop whop” and bend.
I must admit… last night before I went to bed… I was with the impression of perhaps… painting the white lines with an airbrush. I also realized I needed Double Yellow lines.
So I went to bed wit
Its lunch time. I will take a cheeseburger basket, and a sweet tea.
Here’s a few shots of my hopper. I didn’t take a before thou. So…Just picture the car bright yellow.
Mornin’ again!
I ran out of coffee so I came back inside… Yes it is much better now, you could close the windows now and get some heat back in here.[:-^] Guess I’ll have a short stack of buckwheat pancakes with NYS Maple Syrup (We are doing syrup here too Barry) and a side order of bacon. Oh and a refill on the dark roast coffee please. I’ll go sit in the front booth near the door just in case…[:-^]
It is currently 32°F outside here in the Finger Lakes under bright sunny skies! Nice day!
Retirement Party for my son’s MIL is tonight at a local restaurant. She was a nurse at Geneva General Horsepiddle so it should be a safe place to be…[:-^] I already told her THAT retirement is great! Six Saturdays and one Sunday in every week from now on. Her new career is babysitting for the Granddaughters as she lives with them (Has a downstairs apartment). I think I have it best because the granddaughters get very exited to come to Papa’s house (as #1 calls me). Might be because I have the trains… And they don’t see me every day.
Computer beeped at me saying I have email… First thing today when I turned on the thing I had no email… This single time I had 42 emails, almost all from a NMRA AP group I just joined. The group was set up just a few days ago and deals just with information on the Achievement Program. Several MMRs have joined and are answering questions pertaining to the program.
The local schools have a half day today (or a full day before lunch as the case may be) so a big Yellow thing THAT I don’t usually see before 3PM just rumbled down my street… Think I better go do something useful.
Ulrich, I am keeping you and Petra in my prayers. This is a hard time, but it will get better! I can only hope that you may be able to break even or better on the house even though you don’t think yo
Coffee in a SOUTHERN mug, please.
I’ll never get caught up on posts. Did work on the canyon of wife’s layout a few nights ago. About halfway there on the application of tile compound. She likes the grey look which should require very little paint touch up here & there. Should work out ok.
Have a good day all.
