| 8-3 17:50:45 | DAZed | Putting the house back together |
| 8-3 17:48:45 | rvn2001 | What is Doug up to today? |
| 8-3 17:48:14 | GNFan | Hi, Doug. |
| 8-3 17:46:00 | soccrdad30 | hello Doug |
| 8-3 17:45:41 | ejshelton | Hi Doug |
| 8-3 17:45:17 | rvn2001 | Hi Doug. |
| 8-3 17:44:58 | soccrdad30 | basically I have about half a block of buildings to cover, so not bad |
| 8-3 17:44:55 | DAZed | HowdyZ running late but thought I’d pop in and say hi before the mass exodus |
| 8-3 17:44:08 | soccrdad30 | taking a little break from that part Thom |
| 8-3 17:43:54 | soccrdad30 | I am using some 1/4" foam board to level the trolley tracks and the road |
| 8-3 17:43:31 | rvn2001 | Got tired of painting buildings? |
| 8-3 17:42:19 | soccrdad30 | I was working on my town module today, I have 90 percent of the buildings done, but I started to work on the trolley layout and figuring out how to make it flush with the road |
| 8-3 17:40:21 | rvn2001 | I am only running 4 Z scale trains today. |
| 8-3 17:31:10 | soccrdad30 | it is getting to the point I like the weathered cars more than the plain cars |
| 8-3 17:30:04 | rvn2001 | There hasn't been much from them about Z scale. |
| 8-3 17:30:03 | ejshelton | I would too....but it seems unlikely |
| 8-3 17:24:49 | soccrdad30 | it looks like Atlas/MTL will continue the 'Grime and Grit' series for N and HO. I would love to see it continue for Z as well |
| 8-3 17:22:22 | GNFan | Agreed, John. Given the lack of Z from pre-buyout MTL, the bar is low, so anything above "zero" would be an improvement. |
| 8-3 17:20:55 | soccrdad30 | on ebay Z rollingstock and locos have gone up in price |
| 8-3 17:20:06 | soccrdad30 | I hope Atlas/MTL will release some Z |
| 8-3 17:17:29 | GNFan | an ad hoc.... |
| 8-3 17:17:12 | GNFan | Stony, and ad hoc family reunion in Germany? |
| 8-3 17:16:53 | soccrdad30 | I will send a few photos Mike, I am also open to trades too |
| 8-3 17:16:31 | rvn2001 | Sunny and 59 here. |
| 8-3 17:16:25 | GNFan | Yes, John, do send a photo. |
| 8-3 17:15:47 | soccrdad30 | yep, usually warmer down there |
| 8-3 17:15:30 | stonysmith | Son of my wife's cousin is a C135 pilot.. he's been in Germany for 3 days |
| 8-3 17:15:22 | ejshelton | Sun is sunning here....and its 49 |
| 8-3 17:15:02 | soccrdad30 | we are sunny and about 47 degrees here in mid-michigan |
| 8-3 17:14:36 | stonysmith | Her plane had to land in Germany last night because of bad weather in England |
| 8-3 17:14:28 | GNFan | Thom, Sunday is not living up to its name: it's about 50 degrees and raining. |
| 8-3 17:14:26 | soccrdad30 | the second car has a coal load and is weathered |
| 8-3 17:13:49 | soccrdad30 | one of them has the attached trucks the second one has disconnected trucks. I can take a photo of them later and send it off to you |
| 8-3 17:13:45 | stonysmith | As I've mentioned before, my nephew is a B1 pilot and his wife is a B1 WSO |
| 8-3 17:13:20 | GNFan | Hi, Stony. |
| 8-3 17:13:13 | GNFan | I'll take ''em, John, provided the cost is not an arm and a leg. |
| 8-3 17:13:10 | rvn2001 | I think you're inthe majority here, Mike. |
| 8-3 17:12:56 | rvn2001 | Hi Stony. |
| 8-3 17:12:33 | stonysmith | Chirp |
| 8-3 17:12:31 | GNFan | I'd actually prefer year-round Standard Time, but, I'm in the minority, I guess. |
| 8-3 17:11:37 | soccrdad30 | they are in their own plastic case with foam padding with a coal load |
| 8-3 17:10:57 | soccrdad30 | got them, Chicago Railcar Company Z 8602 |
| 8-3 17:10:08 | ejshelton | Good for them. When I first moved to Indiana they didn't change time....but changed that later. I loved it...but they took care of that |
| 8-3 17:08:56 | GNFan | Sounds good, John. |
| 8-3 17:08:41 | GNFan | Washington, Oregon, and California will switch to permanent DST, if and when the US Congress approves it...which is taking years. Meanwhile, British Columbia switched to DST this morning alongside us, but won;t switch back in the fall, making it permanent - they got tired of waiting. |
| 8-3 17:07:59 | soccrdad30 | let me go grab them... brb |
| 8-3 17:07:31 | soccrdad30 | I got them off ebay many, many years ago, they were pre-owned and used but in good condition |
| 8-3 17:06:40 | soccrdad30 | I have 2 Great Northern single hoppers made by the Chicago Rail Car company. I have had them for many years and did nothing with them |
| 8-3 17:05:39 | soccrdad30 | if you are interested in them... |
| 8-3 17:05:11 | soccrdad30 | Mike, I found sometime in my stash that you may want |
