OK Jon, now you're just showing off.

I usually watch only three NASCAR races a year. Daytona, because the racing season has been away for so long that I need the fix. Watkins Glen and Sears Point because I find road courses more interesting than Roundie-rounding. I do follow the series though, so count me in. This year will...

In 1991, I was subjected to 8 hours of "Train Crossing Safety Awareness" by the US Government. I was a student at the Naval Training Center in Great Lakes Ill. there had been several incidents involving sailors and trains, all of them fatal. During the course of this class I learned a...

the 12 days AFTER On the first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight. So, I chopped the pear tree down and I burned it, just for spite. And with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partridge, my true love my true love my true love sent to me. On the second day after...

well said Vic.

Looks like this is a normal occurance there, none of the people waiting for the bus is the least bit worried. City of Townsville, perhaps?

I voted #9. while I want a scene to look realistic, (ie real rocks, trees, grass etc.) I run whatever suits my fancy, It is not unusual to find C&NW motive power next to UP on a siding of my little empire. I just like the color schemes of each.

What's a "drive-in?" I swear, when you old guys start talking...;)

I don't know where it was going, I'm not even sure where it came from. I'm not familiar with the color scheme. It is not headed for the San Francisco Bay area, I have a passing aquaintence with the colors there (BART, MUNI, GGT) and that ain't one of them.

to offset the "Traction in Action" I have posted some "Traction Inaction" This was taken on the 5 North out of Grapevine, Ca.

As someone who purchases much off of e-bay, I think it is all in the first bid. I look for specific items and know how much they cost before I bid. I also make sure to include the price of shipping as part of the total. I once got burned on shipping to the tune of $5 for something in a bubble...

I am trying to find a farm style windmill in "N" scale. I have been watching e-bay for about three months and haven't seen any. I can't find any listed on the walther's site. I would prefer a kit but I could live with plans.

ROFLMAO!

If your wife realy gets on your back, show her this. Found it with a "CSX" search on e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1863714237 When your hobby starts costing you 90K a pop for motive power, you may have a problem.

This strikes me as an extension of the "prototype vs. freelance" debates of my younger days. Those who freelanced were not true model railroaders in the opinion of some. I think that modeling something virtually is every bit as challenging as modeling something physically. Virtual modeling...

try going here:

excerpt from "The Kevin and Bean 'Master Plan"' Rule #3- When faced with overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing or misdeed, counter with the bald-faced lie. Wife: "you have a new train under your arm. You: "What new train?" Wife: "That one. Right there, I can see the train in your...

"Sharpie" pens are available in a fine tip and several colors. (I have black, green, red, and blue) Permanent ink, no fadeing on anything.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I think I'm going to cash in on ralph's and mike's suggestions and do a custom brittney/ozzy consist. I'll make millions! Many elvis fans will purchase these things, perhaps they will find the fun in our hobby and become serious modelers, perhaps they...

Charlie, you can come over and "Practice" on my layout any time. That is wonderful.
