Herc, The wife is also the CFO; there is no way that I'm ever going to let her know just how much I support TLCCS. I'll be going back again later this week to pick up what I wanted :D

No, it wasn't that I spent more time with my trains than I do with her. We were wondering what to do today, and she said, "Why don't we go to your train shop in Spencer today. I'd love to see it". jawdrop So we drove to The Little Choo Choo Shop and spent about 45 minutes looking around...

Looks great! I would leave it black and weathered.

Only 8 out of 10??? You must be slippin in your old age sign1 All of the voices in my head tell me to buy train stuff! Actually my brother-in-law came through and got me a gift certificate to TLCCS. Anyone want to guess where I'll be going tomorrow????????

Would you believe that I didn't get anything train related this year. I guess the hints I dropped fell upon deaf ears. . . . .

Gosh, we haven't even started yet. My wife is still sleeping. . . .

Tony, Glad to hear you are progressing. I stopped working on my layout due to some "fatal design flaws". I am now working on number 3. Are you another geocacher too?

N Gauger, please tell me that's not you in the kilt. . . .. . . .

Ther number of mainlines is going to depend on a number of factors; the prototype, the era, the size of equipment. If you are looking at a 4x8, then at most the outer line would be 22" radius. In order to make an inner line, you would have to use 18" radius curves. Depending on the type of...

Some do, some don't. I use it to deaden the sound and allow me some room to carve underneath to give the layout depth.

I'm at 63 right now. I'm known in the caching circles as 91rioja. Wish you luck on the FTF. TNLNSL

No it is not like a styrofoam cooler. That stuff tends to be hard to work with. The stuff you are looking for is called extruded foam. It is used in building houses for insulation. Lowes or Home Depot carry the extruded foam. It is in the pink or blue variety. . . unless you live in the...

Herc, that was too funny for words!

Unh, LoudMusic, that was only two words! sign1

EZ, you certainly came up with a great question to provoke thought in oneself. I would have to say that I do not believe in the secular representation of the Santa Claus; I did, at one time, just like most children did. Let's just say that the myth was proven wrong about the man that...

That's no way to treat a train or a layout. How would your parents like it if you spilled paint on their dining room table and just left it there. I think it is time to have a heart-to-heart with the parental units. Good luck, and it may be time to start over again. . . . .

N Gauger, how did your cache hunt turn out? I haven't been since September of this year. I really need to get back out again, but I hear my trains calling me........ Pennman, how's the layout room coming around? I haven't seen anything on your progress since you fired the contractors...

Steve, you always have the ability to keep me on the floor laughing until my side hurts, and oh yeah, you're a pretty good modeler too :D :D ! Hysterical wing-it and hope nobody notices-lancing <-- Now that's a good one. It was better than pictures of "snookums". How's she doing anyway...

Mason, nothing like trying to find ways for me to spend even more time in my train room! sign1 Ez, I am using a mixture of medium and fine. I tried the large, but didn't like it.
