Do you mean the white stuff or the brown, they both have 4 letters and start with S.Good morning gang!
32° and clear this morning with a high expected of 41°, the long range forecast calls for that four letter word that begins with the letter S for Saturday.

WOW, that laid that guy OUT! However I doubt that was an electric car, not enough flame! Besides, electric cars don't have grills.Nothing to do with Railways, but this had to hurt.
Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!WOW, that laid that guy OUT! However I doubt that was an electric car, not enough flame! Besides, electric cars don't have grills.
I examined my Saulenas Tavern and no, the stairs cannot go on the other side. That is unless one does major kitbashing to accomplish it. The walls are not interchangeable. It could be done if you cut a new door opening on the other side and blanked out the existing one. A window cannot be substituted easily as they are more narrow than the door opening, so that would require a build up on the side as well as the bottom of the opening.Willie - question. I received a Salena's Tavern for Christmas. I have other kits open and need to finish before starting Salena's. The question is, can the stairway be placed on either side of the building.
Looks like O gage or O27 to me!!What type of turnout is this at 6:20?
It is a simple turnout with a cog rail in the centre (as Karl suggests)What type of turnout is this at 6:20?
Some may call the white stuff the same name as the brown stuffDo you mean the white stuff or the brown, they both have 4 letters and start with S.
Morning All.
Its good to lose weight!Good Morning All. Overcast and 32°, might hit 50° later today. Light rain is still in the forecast for around sundown this evening. Long range forecast is for fair weather for the next ten days with a chance of rain on Friday and Monday. Next freeze may be next week on Wednesday. Yesterday didn't get as warm as predicted, topping out at 45°, but there was no wind so it was at least pleasant despite no sun.
Daughter and SIL came up for the granddog yesterday and we had a pleasant visit. SIL is somewhat bummed out as he is a Philadelphia Eagles fan from his youth. His family is from Jersey about 10 miles from Philly. That's where he and family were last week. I think that his team has self-destructed during December and allowed Dallas to advance ahead of them. My daughter texted my wife Sunday and told her that even though they got home from the airport in time for the 4th quarter, he chose to go to Costco instead of watching the end of the game.
No time out in the train shed yesterday since we had visitors; resulting in no progress on any projects.
How about another series of pictures from the archives. Today we will look at a very short run with a pair of CF7's switching just one covered hopper at the grain mill in Charlottesville. We start with the train approaching town.

After dropping the caboose on the main, the crew comes back and pulls the load using the empty as a handle.

The full hopper is dropped off on the passing siding, and the empty is put in place.

The crew then retrieves the caboose and travels down the main to attach it to the waiting hopper on the siding.

The power returns and hooks up to the cars and starts it's return to the yard.

Todd - I think that most orbits around the sun are good if you see the following one begin. Life does throw some curves at us though.
Tom O - I have never been a real resolution type person either. I did make one that I kept though. Back in 1970, I gave up tobacco cold turkey and never looked back. Probably a good thing. Good luck with relaxing more. This year I am going to try to eat less and lose a few more pounds, but it is not a resolution.

That's it for now, everyone have a wonderful day.
