Welcome back Chief, Think I will go take a spin in my new bass boat. :thumb:

Chuck, Yes the PRR ran their tranmasters long hood forward. I was pretty sure they did, but I just checked my book on trainmasters and all of the pictures show them with an F on the long hood and those where the engineer is visible he is looking toward the long hood. BTW the PRR only had 9 of...

Afternoon all, Jim, The pennsy, and a few others, always ran them long hood forward in the early days of diesels. The reason I mentioned it was because MTH didn't get it right with the SD-9, there are no cab figures in that loco, but it starts up in short hood forward, which is incorrect for...

Actually ran some trains this evening, Ran a mixed freight powered by two RSD-15 diesels in a lash up. Also put the newest additon to the motive power fleet through its paces. A new Rail King Scale PRR GP-9. It is actually set up correctly to run with the long hood forward as you can see by...

Wow, this was a busy day today. Watched 6 football games thanks to remote control. :mrgreen: John B and I are only about a month apart in age, I am the older one. Next Friday is the big 70 for me. Still like to play with trains. :thumb: Hope everyone checks out the auction going on over on...

Good evening, Where is everyone, no one on since the Chief this morning. I finally got a workout in, first in 2 weeks. Except for yard work that is. It was very nice today, cloudy but no rain with temps in the high 60s. To be in the 70s with Sun tomorrow. Worked on the DH a little bit, ran...

Good evening, Boy is it getting dark early, I do not like it, but can't do anything about it. Sir James, I told the wife that you said it was OK to wait till all the leaves are down to rake them up. :mrgreen: Actually they haven't started to fall a lot yet, the pear and the two maples are...

John, Jean and I usually do the same thing. She is not retired yet, but does have Fridays off, so that is our day to do our thing. We live in a fairly rural area, farm fields across the road and in back of our house. 11 houses along a country road and one farmhouse on the other side is our...

I'm here. John Baker have you found us yet? BTW, do you ever get to London? I just read in the WSJ that they just opened the Westfield Mall there which is the largest mall in England/Europe. We moved the train tables to the library today, but could not set up as they had mistakenly booked...

Good evening guys, Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Weather here is to be very nice, as was today.:thumb: Tomorrow I will be helping the "Train Guys" set up the display layout at the town library. Should be interesting as this is my first time helping with this project. Still need to...

Jim, You got to learn to check that porch every day. They do the same thing here. One reason I prefer UPS or USPS. Our UPS guy has been on this route almost forever, he lets our stuff at the office on days my wife works and delivers to the house on Fridays when she is off. Our mail-girl is...

Hi Don, You must have posted this while I was typing. Hope your weather is better than ours. Winter has arrived with little or no Fall to prepare us.

Good evening, Ran some trains around to reposition them so I can take them off and put others on the layout for a change. Spent the day at the museum and sat in on a meeting regarding future upgrades in the Library. Will make it easier for members to access the library resources remotely. Got...

Where is everybody today? Just ran the H10 around the outer loop a couple of times, needed a train fix. Not much ambition today. I was going to mow the lawn, but convinced myself it didn't need it. Hope the wife agrees. Going to the Museum tomorrow instead of Wednesday this week. The...

Good evening, No train activity today, but just to keep the Chief and you all up to date. 13 year old grandson got himself a doe on Friday evening after school. This is his second deer. Also the soy beans and corn have all been harvested on the farm. We had a beautiful day today, but it is...

Jeffrey, All you need now is a flickering flame lamp and a smoke unit and you're good to go. :thumb: A good evening to everyone, the PS vs OS game started and I got distracted so I will close now.

Slow day on the pot today, when the Chief's away.......... Tom we had an unexpected freeze last night, we have everything in that's coming in. This is going to start the maple leaves falling now. Ours still have most of their leaves, but the neighbors red maple is just about bare. Of course...

Jim, is that the K-line A-5 that you are waiting for? If so I had one of those when K-line was still in business, but it was conventional. Very nice loco, but I have gotten rid of most of my conventional stuff. Only run TMCC and DCS now.
