Good Morning All. 76° and partly cloudy here in beautiful North Central Texas.Cat is still here, plants on the back porch were all watered, looks like the neighbor's 17 year old daughter did her requested duties while we were gone. I'll hand her a twenty later this weekend, even though I know that she'll spend it on cigarettes.
Hello Flo, make it hash-browns, scrambled eggs and sausage patties this morning please.
My delivery from ScaleTrains (two Dash9-44CW's) has gone awry, UPS claims that they couldn't find my house and took it to the local post office. It's not like they haven't found us at least 150 times in the last two years...hopefully the post office delivers today (if it fits in the box over a mile away), so I don't have to wait until Monday to go to town and pick it up. I feel like it's a driver that wanted to go home early and not fool around out here in the country on Friday afternoon.
Thanks for all of the likes and comments regarding the museum pictures over the last week;
Chet, Sherrel, Tom, Clint, Chad, Mikey, Louis, Jerome, Patrick, Ray, Justin, Rick, Johnny, Dave, Garry, Z, and also to anyone that I may have missed. It was a fun trip and visiting all of those model railroad museums and displays made it all the more worth while.
Here are a couple of pictures of the N scale layout at the Old Depot Museum in Vicksburg.
I was actually touching the glass while taking the second shot. Bad!
One very good display there is a giant diorama depicting the Siege of Vicksburg. It covers 250 sq ft and has over 2000 figures on it.
These pictures don't even begin to do justice to the diorama.
Clint - Nice series of videos.
Gotta go for now. I need to finish unloading the car, do some more laundry and go grocery shopping.
Everybody have a great day.
