I like pie. Sounds good after a day of working on fence outside. Gotta have sunshine.
How was the train show, Mark? We just couldn’t face driving up to Puyallup.
No train activities today, but maybe tomorrow.
Sue
Did someone say PIE!?!
Good Morning from Tipton IN ! [:D]
[:o)]
P.C. You’re too late as normal with these animals you don’t stand a chance
Good morning all,
Heading to Toledo for the big train show, meeting my mother and my brother there for a day of exercise, LOL. Then it’s off to Warren, MI to see my kids and attend the open house for my daughter’s induction to Phi Theta Kappa at her collage.
Rob, tonight I’ll get off my bottom and send you some plans to look over.
[oX)] I’ll be stopping in later tonight to be showing ye swabs me bounty from yen train show, arg! [oX)]

Good morning.
It’s 62 with dense fog at the moment. The expected high is 73 and there’s a good chance of thunderstorms later today.
Today’s Weather for:
Sundown, LA 71446-6114 4/27/2008
Wind Chill: 63°F
Humidity: 100%
Dew Point: 63°F
So Far Today
High: 66°F
Low: 63°F
Rain: 0.00"
Rain Rate: 0.00"/h
Gust: 6mph NNE
Today High: 75 Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning…then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 70s. Light and variable winds becoming west 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
Tonight Low: 52 Mostly cloudy. A 20 percent chance of rain showers in the evening. Cooler. Lows in the lower 50s. North winds 10 to 15 mph.
Good morning, cloudy day today and we got “some” relief for the extreme fire danger, a whopping 0.02" of rain overnight, that’s correct, two-hundreths of an inch! By the time that Cape Gerardeau LOW got here and banged up against the Nova Scotia humongeous HIGH pressure system with it’s extreme dry sinking air, the water vapor just vanished. Tomorrow may be a different story however, because the RH is now up to 85%, so the air is becoming saturated, so when the next LOW arrives tomorrow afternoon, we cpuld get up to 3" of badly needed rain.
I see that CMT ( via intermountain) is taking reservations on FP9’s!!! How many of you guys have FP9’s in your fleet??
HOOPLE: Hey, all I know is, RT said he made a Chocolate Cream pie, and no one had even taken a bite out of it in the frig. Then I go to get a piece and it is nearly gone, and the only person sitting near the Frig was Mark. Now if your covering for someone who raided the frig, better let RT know. How was the train show ? Did you buy any equipment?
I see that CSX had another accident, not their fault, a semi decided to do battle with a freight, what a mess, cars everywhere and RR personnel injured. The Semi driver was not injured, but he will be charged with reckless driving at the very least.
SUE: " White Cascade" ???

I should check where I land. Looks like I have been paying since last evening. I am afraid that we polished off the pie, Philip, but how about breakfast. If we line up for the buffet, we can all have our favorites. Where is Ryan? He usually has good suggestions on breakfast. You all are probably starting to think about brunch.
Dick, I may wait for it to come out on audio. After I finish all my dental hygiene journals, I don’t have much time to just sit and read. I listen to lots of books in the car or while doing something else.
Jim, I will stop by for a RBF this afternoon.
Sue
Good morning All…Its sunny and cooler her this morning weather guesser says we might get some frost tonite…Just coffee for me please…thank You…Just got up from a big Breakfast that Sallie and Tootie made…Mosie and Tootie spent the night and were gonna take them home this afternoon…Mosie says she only come to see us to watch cable LOL!!..Here is Tootie at the trottle this morning

You all have a good one…Jerry
Mornin’ all!
Dark Roast this morning ladies please and thanks.
Im still workin away on my background trackside building (scratchbuilt). Its a slow patience filled process, but im hoping to be satisfied with the building in the end. Im leaning towards a tropicana facility as i will be modeling CSX. Ill post some photos later of my progress, but for now, im gunna go read the newspaper and enjoy this nice coffee.
Happy Model Railroading,
Keith
A large coffee in a UNION PACIFIC mug, please & thank you.
***Lee, is the rest of your family into trains, too? Have fun and I look forward to your help when you have the time. pm or e-mail if you need any specifics from me. I do think planning for two tables (L shape) with a drop between them for the bridge is the way to go, even if I never finish it in this lifetime. Tempted to forget about the bridge all togther…just don’t know. Thanks!
***Jeffrey, that is a cool night shot. What did you use for bulbs on that one?
***Dick, if you have any extra, send it down our way. It has been sprinkling here, but thus far the good cells are all missing our valley.
***Jerry, nice pic. I can’t tell if Tootie is having fun or really concentrating or both?
I have attempted one last order with onlinetrains.com so hopefully their system will maintain my order and not have to refund my payment again. More N Unitrack for me and I added the HO version of an old pick-up truck to surprise my wife. She had been looking at one in N scale saying how it reminded her of one of our neighbors trucks and a must have for her layout. He’s a crazy fella who talks to his dog (nothing unusual there, so do I) but his dog “talks back and tells him what to do”. Wife thinks he’s dangerous, I just see him as potential fertilizer.[;)]
After that sick Berkshire, I’ll looking to try again with another vendor. My pfreference is undecorated, but haven’t found any in stock anywhere that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Tempted to get the “Virginian”…Anyone know where I can find the history on it?

Model Power peel & stick lights. Rated for 12-16 volts. Package #511. Walther’s #490-511
***Jeffrey, would they be small enough for N scale? Thansk! Rob
Hello everybody…
If you’re interested, I posted a picture in the imploded tank car thread. I took the picture after I was riding in the locomotive of the tank car train from Fairbanks to Anchorage. As we arrived in Anchorage, the guy in the tower radioed to the engineer that we had an imploded car in the consist. The train was fully loaded with flamable commodities. So, things could have been exciting if the tank car derailed.
Rob, are you getting good thoughts for the layout?
Jeff has antother neat photos with effective lighting.
Lee … Hope you do well at the show. If you make regular trips to Warren, MI, you should meet up with Duke who lives north of there. Also, a visit to P&D Hobby Shop in Fraser, MI is a must.
Happy Model Railorading…
[Rob, are you getting good thoughts for the layout? ]
maybe a little, kinda, sorta [%-)] Rob
Probably not. You may want to go smaller, grain of wheat or grain of rice. These bulbs are the same size as those in most HO locos.
In WPF is another shot showing what they look like with the room lights off. It has a lot of visual impact.
That pie was pretty tasty!
That’s an excellent book, I’ve almost finished it myself. It has the feel of a novel but is entirely non-fiction! Must read for GN Fans. I think the Wellington (renamed Tye after the disaster) is now off limits, due to flash floods originating in the old Cascade Tunnel.
Great Pix of the Disaster Here
Mark, evidence is not looking your way…
ALEX/GG : I totally agree, I couldn’t put that book down, I hope more of the guys in the Diner get to read it. What a movie that would make !!
GARRY: It’s a good thing that car didn’t let go along the ridge tracks above the Nenana river just north of Denali!!! You would have been in the river!!
ROB: I wish I could Rob, but the weather systems go west to east unfortunately. Be careful what you wish for though, you live in a Valley. What is your street address, I’ll look you up on the Satellite view on Microsoft’s 3d view. These views are fantastic, if you put in Michael Ave, Cherry Valley for instance, you can see my house so well, that you see the gardens out back, the blue tarp covering my woodpile, even the sky lights and solar panels on the roof!!! I am in the garden, but I don’t think you can magnify enough to see me without blurring.
SUE: I understand. By the time you read all your dental info, you want to sleep your eyes are so tired.
JEFF: Tsk, tsk, you hound dog…YOU ate the rest of that pie !!! LOL

Downloaded the free version of AnyRail. Has (N) Unitrack and is quite intuitive (I think). Too bad it only allows 50 sections in the free version. Seems a very good product and was fun while it lasted. But with limited funds, I’d rather put that $50 price tag towards acquiring more track.
Has been raining very lightly on and off today, barely enough to water the pastures. We’ll take whatever we can get.
***Dick, we live up on a hill, so flooding is never a concern. The pastures have only flooded 3 times in the 10+ years I’ve lived here. Usually takes a major hurricane to hit the coast and continue up to north GA as a heavy rain producer and then stall out over us for a couple days.
