6-7 18:05:01 GNFan Hmm, an instance wherein the means justify the ends? ;-)
6-7 18:04:12 DAZed glad I checked on them, they are closer to done than anticipated
6-7 18:02:56 rvn2001 Have a nice nap, Ellen.
6-7 18:02:55 GNFan Bye, Ellen.
6-7 18:02:37 ejshelton Time for my Sunday afternoon nap....ZU all
6-7 17:56:57 rvn2001 That's a real shame, Jim!
6-7 17:54:40 rvn2001 How are your ends doing, Doug?
6-7 17:54:32 jim29t Most of my trains are in my basement. I have not been in my basement for years The
6-7 17:50:53 DAZed gonna run check on my burnt ends, be right back
6-7 17:48:03 jim29t Perhaps as an adjunct to a train show
6-7 17:45:55 jim29t 1500 when I stopped keeping track.
6-7 17:45:55 rvn2001 That's a GREAT idea, Doug!!
6-7 17:45:44 DAZed Hold up a few laundromats and we'll be all set.
6-7 17:45:26 DAZed Jim if you have your nickel sale, let us know....I'll grab Thom and Ellen on the way and we can pick up Mike at the airport.
6-7 17:43:47 DAZed And it was essentially very close to the design idea I'm after, but in Z
6-7 17:43:44 rvn2001 Running trains are always a good influence...
6-7 17:43:12 DAZed I think if I ever get a decent layout built, he might have more interest in it. He was blown away by the BNSF layout we toured.
6-7 17:40:58 DAZed Same, although my son joined me on some of my convention activities, and I did see at least a tinge of interest developing as the week went on.
6-7 17:40:51 ejshelton Even if they were the numbers you have would be overwhelming.
6-7 17:39:55 jim29t None of my family is interested in trains.:(
6-7 17:37:24 DAZed Jim, just meant....some people have family and want to pass things down, or to an estate to sell off to send proceeds to a charity, or--as mentioned--donate to a museum, etc.
6-7 17:36:19 GNFan The aspect of having a (passenger) train as the vehicle in movies is that you can't easily evade/avoid people, and you can't get off to escape just anywhere - a confined, but in motion space. (North By Northwest, Sliver Streak).
6-7 17:36:00 jim29t Doug, What did you mean, you didn't know my situation?
6-7 17:34:49 ejshelton Not my kind of movie...
6-7 17:34:30 rvn2001 That's a fun movie to watch, Doug.
6-7 17:32:03 DAZed I don't watch a lot of movies, but I was flipping through the other day and a title caught my attention... "Strangers on a Train". An old Hitchcock movie, so I decided to watch. It was pretty entertaining. Not a lot to do with Trains, but still enjoyable.
6-7 17:31:51 jim29t 2,000 sq ft
6-7 17:30:50 ejshelton WOW
6-7 17:30:04 jim29t His new space is the size of my 2 story house, all on one floor
6-7 17:30:03 GNFan Thanks for the tip, Doug.
6-7 17:29:26 DAZed Mike, that is a great movie you should check it out
6-7 17:27:46 jim29t Our bunch is getting together soon, but I always need transportation
6-7 17:25:41 GNFan Having never seen the movie from which I am borrowing the title, I'm imagining "A Night in the Z Scale Museum".
6-7 17:25:35 rvn2001 That sounds like an excellent idea, Jim. You're going to be awfully busy, though.
6-7 17:24:12 jim29t Perhaps I should have an open house and sell things for a nickel each I gave him some of my Nelson Grey stuff
6-7 17:23:16 rvn2001 It might even be set up in the new place.
6-7 17:22:59 DAZed oh, ok.
6-7 17:22:40 rvn2001 Rob Kluz has it.
6-7 17:22:21 DAZed there is a Z scale museum?
6-7 17:21:54 DAZed and it seems like you know him
6-7 17:21:45 rvn2001 I thought you planned to donate it to the Z scale museum, Jim.
6-7 17:21:34 DAZed Jim, (a) I don't know your exact situation and (b) it's none of my business, but given your proximity to Rob, that seems like a good option.
6-7 17:19:17 ejshelton I understand that Jim
6-7 17:18:54 jim29t not me, I don't know what to do with my collection now
6-7 17:18:27 ejshelton Congrats Thom. I'm barely out of bed.....and not awake yet.....so no trains going. I'm barely going
6-7 17:17:55 DAZed they almost had me with the JBH containers. And they eventually might but I need to find out what color they really are first.
6-7 17:17:50 rvn2001 I have the usual 4 Z scale trains and 1 T scale train running.
6-7 17:16:10 rvn2001 ...and you were right...
6-7 17:14:14 GNFan I suspected there would be a low (or no) turnout among us chat regulars, but I thought I'd ask.
6-7 17:12:55 DAZed Nope. Maybe for round two.
