Beach Bum
Now that I finished commenting on current events, I'm slowly progressing at ballasting. The PRR on the Essington and Eddystone modules is almost complete. Now, I start on the Reading. Since we finished grocery and sundry shopping this morning, and since we will remain home this year, with no company, I will have plenty of time to work on this.
TomO: I seek out photos of locations I'm familiar with, so I can factually comment on them. I also look for photos that depict detail worth modeling. BTW, that complex you are working on is fantastic. Being considerate about others who are not doing as well, does not make one a Socialist. My favorite charity,and the one I support on a regular basis, is a Mission, in Asbury Park. Located in close proximity to some of the wealthiest communities in the country, they deal with the homeless and hungry. No waste.
Curt: Any new developments with your mom?
Guy: That's a cool pick-up truck. I like your concept for placing structures on your module. How thick is the ice?
Patrick and Willie: I used the stimulus to cover a few credit card balances... Right or wrong, I feel I'm paying my share for social programs and healthcare, so I have no qualms about using "free" money to benefit myself.
Willie, Tom and Dave: Like the photos. Good job on the CS unit, Tom...Love the Speeders, Dave and Love the girl from the trailer, Willie.
Tug Philadelphia, cruising along the icy Hudson, back in the day
Tug Philadelphia tied up at Little Creek, VA in 1974. In 1973, after the Calmar Lines freighter took out the C&D Canal Lift bridge, this tug became my home for 24 hours, as I had the helm once out of the harbor until approaching the breakwater at Cape Charles... a 26 mile cruise. One thing I learned, Tug Boat crews ate very well. I also learned, it was very hard keeping the damn thing on course.
Train # 454 preparing for departure from Delmar, DE. Delmar, as the name implies, is in Sussex Co, Delaware and Wicomico CO, MD on the Delmarva Peninsula. Train was cut back to Delmar - Philadelphia in 1958, and discontinued in 1964.
