Good morning everyone and Happy New Year!
Thanks to everyone who liked my stuff!
Flo - I'll have a ham 'n' cheese omelet, home fries, wheat toast and a unsweetened iced tea.
It's been a few days since I've been on the forum. It took me quite a while to get caught up with everything.
Lots of good reading and great photos!
Last Friday was spent down Pittsburgh as the Mrs. had a post cataract surgery follow-up. They ran a
few scans and found a small problem. So they put her on another drop, including the one she's been
taking and want to see her again in a couple weeks. Before leaving Pittsburgh, we stopped at our
favorite Italian restaurant. The excellent food brightened up our day!
Saturday we resumed our Holiday visiting tour. Much of the day was spent at my Niece and
husband's home. I haven't seen her in a couple of years and had a great time. Sunday, we
visited my wife's Aunt and cousin. Yesterday, the Mrs. had another doctor appointment. By this
time, both of us were worn out from all of the travelling, so we're going to stay home today!
My MRR news: last week, after finishing the rail yard, I decided to "up-grade" the wiring on the old
section of my layout. I enjoy wiring and at the time it seemed like a good idea, but after spending
extended periods "under the table" every part of me ache . . . except maybe my ears I muscled
through and finally got it done late yesterday. Whew
I've been noticing a problem with one of my turnouts. I have a Peco Insul-Frog with the point wearing
out. My GP-35 stumbles and sometime stops. Instead of wasting time with the "quick fixes", I'll
just order a new one. This turnout is at the entrance of my favorite switching area, so I have
to get it fixed ASAP!
I began my layout expansion 14 months ago and took a while longer (being an old fart) than I had planned.
I have all of the track laid and operational and have been doing a lot of switching. I enjoy every minute
and that makes all of the "work" worthwhile!
Everyone have a great day!
Here's a couple of my layout photos . . .
