22-1 3:07:52 DAZed so if I thought I was busy before, I just inherited a bunch of furniture moving too.
22-1 3:07:49 rvn2001 Well guyz, I'm gonna go check to zee that all of my trainz are ztill running. Z y'all later.
22-1 3:07:23 DAZed also, while I was in Vegas, my wife and her sister concocted a plan to convince their dad to fund some home improvement so we're getting our entire house painted (inside) among other things.
22-1 3:05:59 rvn2001 I suspected as much.
22-1 3:05:37 DAZed Thom, not yet. Unlikely to happen over the next month. I have my hands over full at work right now.
22-1 3:03:57 rvn2001 Have you run the dash9s yet, Doug?
22-1 3:03:02 ejshelton Sunday depends on the weather and my train show
22-1 3:02:49 rvn2001 Night, John.
22-1 3:02:39 rvn2001 Nite Ellen.
22-1 3:02:39 GNFan Bye, John.
22-1 3:02:19 soccrdad30 alright, nite time for me early Dr. appt. Chat on Sunday!
22-1 3:02:14 ejshelton Time for me to head out....Nite all
22-1 3:01:19 rvn2001 They are few and far between.
22-1 3:00:53 soccrdad30 I see them out there on ebay, and wondered why the prices were so high
22-1 3:00:20 rvn2001 I'm using one of the boxes to hold the paddlewheel boat that I made.
22-1 3:00:08 soccrdad30 no problem, picking your brain :)
22-1 2:59:37 rvn2001 I'm not even sure who I got them from.
22-1 2:58:49 soccrdad30 interesting, I was trying to do some research on them, and I could not find anything
22-1 2:57:47 rvn2001 More expensive than their Marklin counterparts. I'm thinking around $400
22-1 2:56:52 soccrdad30 I see guys tring to sell them between 800.00 and 1,500.00
22-1 2:55:53 soccrdad30 okay, were they expensive brand new?
22-1 2:55:43 rvn2001 I have 2 of them.
22-1 2:55:25 rvn2001 They were supposed to be Z. I think they were pretty close. They were all on Marklin mechanisms.
22-1 2:54:17 soccrdad30 Thom, do you know anything about the MTL steam locos they had... were they actually Z? or Nn3?
22-1 2:51:44 soccrdad30 when I started at Team One Credit Union, there was no budget, then after our IT Manager left, a budget was instituted but very limited and small compared to what was needed
22-1 2:50:23 soccrdad30 sounds like a smart man Stony
22-1 2:50:12 rvn2001 Lucky Doug with a new boss.
22-1 2:50:02 stonysmith My boss was "offered" more responsibility such as tending to budgets, etc... He took the option to retire instead
22-1 2:47:27 soccrdad30 and sometimes I don't :)
22-1 2:47:13 soccrdad30 I miss some of the IT hustles with current and new projects
22-1 2:46:42 DAZed and with a new boss, yet again
22-1 2:46:29 DAZed yeah, Vegas has come and gone and now it's the busiest part of the year for IT
22-1 2:46:13 rvn2001 Hi Doug.
22-1 2:45:32 DAZed A little late this evening. Not much to report. Didn't make it to the train show. Got a pair of NS Dash 9's in the mail yesterday though.
22-1 2:45:29 soccrdad30 Hello Doug, made it back from Vegas
22-1 2:45:28 ejshelton Hi Doug
22-1 2:45:12 GNFan Hi, Doug.
22-1 2:44:09 DAZed HowdyZ
22-1 2:39:58 soccrdad30 and get back into the laser kits again, I would think they own the plans
22-1 2:38:58 soccrdad30 a great idea would be a whole line of just weathered Z scale cars
22-1 2:38:46 stonysmith I also got the same email direct from Atlas
22-1 2:37:25 soccrdad30 including Joe D
22-1 2:37:16 soccrdad30 good to see some of the staff was picked up
22-1 2:36:45 rvn2001 I saw the post on the AZL forum.
22-1 2:35:54 soccrdad30 did everyone get an email from Loren about who was picked up from Atlas?
22-1 2:34:34 rvn2001 I guess they're emptying out the warehouse.
22-1 2:32:48 soccrdad30 I checked out their website and there is not much left in Z that is available
22-1 2:31:07 soccrdad30 I was surprised MTL sent a bonus Z scale car with my order
22-1 2:29:28 soccrdad30 well, we will give it time to work and hopefully that will take care of that issue
22-1 2:26:38 ejshelton Put the oil on now. Give it time to work
