Elliot's Trackside Diner 26

Jeff- I already have that road number.

Barry- bath towel on bed, glass of warm milk with pat of butter ,melted, shot of whiskey in the glass of warm milk, drink down- Dont taste it, drink it down. Wear your warm p.j.s ,get into bed, get covered and sweat it out.

Went to AAP parts store for 1157 bulb. $4.99 for a two pack. Went across the street, bought two bulbs for $0.64 . Freedom of shopping…

How cold might it be if it wasn’t for Global Warming???

I use my old fave—hot decafe coffee with a couple of shots of dark rum, wrapped up in two quilts—does the trick. I’ve got yours too.[:)]

I’m looking at you like THAT because I was told we were all OUT of Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, and here she was just saving the last piece for YOU! lol

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of a “Magic Wand” from BLI??? I tried their website, but could not find any information about them.

I bought Vincent’s(Packer) NW2, and unfortunately, I have Bachmann EZ Command, and the loco is programmed under address 1931, so I have no way of accessing the loco to change the address. I wish I knew another modeler in the Philly area that has full DCC capabilities! Actually, this may well work out in my favour! I could use it as the excuse I need to get the Zephyr now instead of later!..

Barry- best of luck. Hope you better quickly.

Can someone post a picture of a wide vision caboose please? I just looked at my GN X283. The cupola is at one end.

Flip

Evening, Chloe, how about a nice bowl of chili with some grated cheese on top (and Beano on the side…[:-^]), some cheesy fries and a RBF, please ‘n’ thankyouma’am! [dinner]

Robby, good timing on that shot of the Amtrak train. [yeah]

Nah, Chris - no offense meant (I’m sure) and none taken by me. If you missed my comment about the truck RC in our club, I’ll definitely ‘stoop’ to picking the brain of an RC ANYTIME that I have a question to the order of “So, how far out of line with reality would it be, if the CAW had …on it?” I figure THAT even a 150 percent RC (I don’t think we have ANY of those in the Diner) has to be respected for their expertise (IMHO). [;)]

“I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.”

Sam - as they say in the song: “Someday my prints will come…[:-^]”

(Manah mana, manah mana… doot do be dobah…)

My supervisor got some [banghead] news today - found out that some of the people who’ve been doing intake assessments aren’t ‘okay’ to do them, because they don’t have a certain degree. So my supervisor, being about the only clinician who isn’t already up to her you-know-where with intakes, will ‘get’ to do them (and we’ve been running between 6-10 - more or less - intakes a day [:O]) Both Jason and I don’t have any time we aren’t either out of the office, or else covering crisis/walk-in, so we can’t help her out. You might pray for them to get someone new in to cover intakes (and get admin. to okay the funding for the person’s pay), if you would.

Jeff

Ask, and ye shall receive, Flip:

Here it is…

[Edit]: Well, Flip, ya suckered me in on THAT one! Okay, Chloe, start my tab - do they still have that dollar menu? Great! Eat up, folks!

Jim in Cape Girardeau

Jim- Thankyou! I think I have one in a different road. Only have maybe 6 or 7 cabs in my fleets.

Prayers and blessings to all.

Flip

**Flip…**Here’s all of the caboose pictures I have. Might not be what your looking for, but maybe they will help some???

Good Evenin’, since it’s hard-w**kin JIM’s tab…I’ll stick to the dollar menu. Rerun and I will take 20 of the dollar cheeseburgers, please 'n thank-ya…yep, at the RC with a bucket of Cherry RC.

FLIP: Here’s a BN wide-vision cabboose…might’ve been GN in a previous life. VINCENT (Packers) would know better than me.

Speaking of…VINCENT: Glad the arm is doing better, probably just pulled something. IF it continues to bother you, get it looked at. I’d recommend whatever your college has for a “health center” for the cost: typically free.

BARRY: Sorry to hear you’ve got the latest insidious, perfidious, vile virus!

Welp, I’ve got two stories for THAT…woulda had a third but it fell through. I’ve got messages out all over the place for people to call me back on THAT durned telephone-thing… A creation of Satan himself, I tell you what…

Holy Crap!

I just discovered something…didn’t know I’d shot this, but was wondering earlier why I hadn’t. SAM and VINCENT, this one’s for you boys…

We’ll have us a seat at the RC, plow through this pile 'o cheeseburgers (thanks JIM!) and see who-all else makes it in this early spring evening…

Chris[8]

Barry … you may think it funny but it snot… [|(]

Robby … Those cabeese are really ugly.

I took a break from wiring and operated trains today. Just for fun.

I think I’ll have some KY cuisine. Burgoo for supper and derby pie for dessert. Yum.

Since the tab is on Jim, I´ll take that dollar-burger platter as a late midnight snack!

I am doggone tired, but I just can´t sleep. It is getting to be 3 am, and I am up for more than an hour. [|)]

**Garry…**That’s how I like them [:-,].

Here’s a ugly one, and me on it doesn’t help. What a smile!!!

Now that’s a caboose!

Burlington called them “way cars”

Looks like the now long-gone “Star Clipper Dinner Train” out of Waverly, IA was thinking along the same color lines as JEFF… The Star Clipper was an off-shoot of the Cedar Valley RR, owned by a guy named Jack Haley. Haley also owned the Chicago Central and Pacific (ex-ICG Iowa Division). Haley painted the Cedar Valley stuff gray and black, but went red with the CCP.

Hey, these dollar cheeseburgers are pretty good!

Chris[8]

Evening ya’ll, I’ll go for 10 of those burgers chris is having

I’ve been painting The wheels and couplers on a boxcar of mine. I’m gonna try weathering it with my airbrush tommorow.

Chris, That caboose could be from the GN, CB&Q, NP, SP&S, SLSF, or ordered by the BN. They all had WV cabooses, and it was probably the most common type on the BN. As for the thing on the fuel tender, I think it’s supposed to for rail lubercating oil.

Jeff, Don’t have either of those. I’ve got 2 50’ boxes that could stand to be painted, maybe a trade is in order.

Garry, that caboose is why I’ve been trying to find a few of the bachmann slant coupla cabooses and some friction-bearing caboose trucks. I think they’d look alright when I cut the roofwalk off and paint them.

Barry, Colds suck, no doubt about that.

When was that taken roughly? Seems that many years ago we, meaning Audrey and I, where through that area and came across that near there—[%-)]

BARRY: THAT picture was taken in the fall of 1990. The one and only time I ever made it up THAT way.

VINCENT: You ARE correct Sir! THAT is a rail lubricator…according to THAT article…

Chris[8]

Is it me, or does it look like a puppy whistling???

Well, I think I’ll just sit in the corner booth if it’s unoccupied. I want to get some more research done on the NH&I… It was rather interesting, there IS an old station in Rushland. It sits on the property of the quarry that is right next to the tracks! It has been neglected for quite some time now, it seems. the windows are starting to rot out, the clapboard siding is coming apart, but nothing a little TLC wouldn’t fix!

Zoe, may I please have a dozen of the dollar burgers, a dozen of the dollar fries, and a dozen of the dollar sundaes? Thank you!

Can’t go to bed yet, as there is a loaf in the bread maker that won’t be baked until 11:45…So I’ll have a hot chocolate and a couple of cookies while I wait, please Chloe.

Barry: Hope you get that cold on its way really fast!

CapeJim:

…from terminal to terminal, just like always [clown] Seriously, I’ve often wondered about the seemingly large gap between the bottom of the snow plough and the rail head on prototype locos. I guess this total rail coverage is the result of that gap. You’ve got it on the work situation prayers.[angel]

OZRay: Good news from OZ today about the Spotted Bell Frog. Did you see this?

Robby: Way cool Mrs. there! It’s great she enjoyed the switching moves.[tup]

Being one myself, I think I recognize a fellow “Passive / Aggressive”! I’m guessing she doesn’t like your “blowing out” the car, and is just letting you know - kinda subtle like! [swg] Looks like a sunny day you’ve had going for you great shot of the Amtrak!

Sam: Thanks for the explanation of the slow order on the bridge. What does it take to get a frequently hit bridge recognized (or am I confusing this one with some that others have told us all about in the last day or two?)
