He still has this great Christmas Layout up and running with DCS

WE do have some very important bussiness to discuss. [;)]

OH ! Here I thought it was at your house ! Ok, email me when you get up & going again !! [:D]
Thanks, John

John, it was going to be, then Ed called and asked to have it at his place because he would still have his layout up and running.

That’s great, Tom !! Looks like good weather for traveling ! [:)]

John,
Did you get my email on the meeting? right after sending it out, the email system went down again.

Exploding GRITS box car and SWEET ICE TEA tanker on the rails and enroute. Enjoy. [;)]

I’m greatly intrigued by the important OTTS business you keep mentioning, Tom. My guess is that all active members are going to plan a weekend roadtrip to the Chief’s house to construct his layout tables for him. Sort of like a Habitat for Humanity, but for 3 rail trains. [8D]

Am I right?!!!

Jim

TOM and JOHN maybe since he has the Christmas layout up he’ll have some eggnog too. If not maybe some good hot cocoa. Have a blast GIZ.

Nothing but stoney silence. I’m on to something here. Chief, better get ready for an invasion from the Nawth! Good thing you cleaned your carpets. Gonna have company callin’!

Jim

Well, have to tell you I don’t know what’s going on at this big meeting coming up, but I’m going to remind them of Tom Schmidts invitation to his RR !! Gee, I wonder if he has room for all 80 or so of us on that field trip !! [:D][:D]

Laz : I too, am an egg nog drinker !![(-D][(-D]

Can’t get it in the stores down here after Christmas. [:(]

It can be made from a recipe, too !

Hello All! The Chief would probably try to make Egg Nog with Grits in it & call it; Grit Og![;)][:P].

Well, this is getting interesting. If Chief gets all that help from northerners to build his layout he may have to be nice to everyone north of the M-D lne! I guess miracles can happen.

Now if all these OTTS guys are heading to NY I will need a little advance notice so I can warn my wife to hide. Plus I may have to go to the store to buy more beer!

Tom S

If Pro Mariner has its way, I may be sending more time above the MD than I want too. [:(] No sweet ice tea nor grits. [V]

Hope YUZ GIZ have a great meeting.
Everyone is a buzz over the big announcement.
Can’t Wait!

Big announcement is coming ! ! ! ! ![wow]

After seeing the large size of the OTTS membership (actual numbers of members, not their girth around the waste) I can only conclude that they’ve decided to bust the club up into 2 factions…the North OTTS and the South OTTS.

Bruce Webster

I don’t think I’d want to belong to a club that’d have me as a member

Bruce, you’re OK. I wouldn’t want to with them. [;)]

Just got home for the OTTS meeting. The new project has the overwhelming [tup][tup]

OTTS has been ask by the Western Reserve Model RR Museum to build and operate an ‘O’ gauge layout, 50’ x 24’. They will supply the material, we will supply the labor and designs.

Isn’t this every man’s dream, build a layout, at no cost to you (only your time) and then be able to run your trains on it.

More on this tomorrow.
