1-3 18:21:28 soccrdad30 Earlier this week I was busy mocking up my downtown area, but I still need to fill about 8 inches of the module
1-3 18:20:58 rvn2001 Sounds good, John. I'm sure you'll be happy to have them done.
1-3 18:20:15 soccrdad30 I am about done with painting my 3d buildings, next week I plan to work on their roofs and complete them
1-3 18:19:02 rvn2001 Yup. 2 N scale Climax locos. One was mostly built and just needed final assembly and painting. The other one I'll be building completely.
1-3 18:18:56 soccrdad30 I found a few projects in my 'black hole' the other day
1-3 18:18:06 soccrdad30 2 projects?
1-3 18:17:48 rvn2001 I brought 2 projects home from the layout I visited Thursday.
1-3 18:17:41 ejshelton I've never specialized in any RR...if I like it I buy it
1-3 18:17:01 GNFan Same, John. The only exception I'd ever make would be the Irish national railroad (passenger), Iarnród Éireann.
1-3 18:14:35 ejshelton I just like interesting things....I don't care what RR they are
1-3 18:13:56 soccrdad30 I never got into the European trains
1-3 18:13:52 ejshelton H told me he had one in a bigger scale.
1-3 18:13:05 ejshelton Thx Thom....just thought it was interesting
1-3 18:12:39 soccrdad30 there are actual photos of those on the Soo Line
1-3 18:12:37 ejshelton Most were European
1-3 18:11:55 rvn2001 Schnabbel (sp) car with the transformer.
1-3 18:11:15 ejshelton Yes it is. He bought out a shop. I got a train car....forgot what he said it was called. It has two cars on the end and a load in the middle. I don't remember everything he had
1-3 18:10:48 soccrdad30 I would be interested in their NA stuff
1-3 18:09:54 soccrdad30 anything cool Ellen?
1-3 18:09:44 GNFan That's a lot of Marklin!
1-3 18:09:15 ejshelton I came across a big Marklin sale at a train show yesterday. Had to refrain from buying everything....lol. 4 8 ft tables full
1-3 18:08:24 rvn2001 I'm glad you're feeling better, John.
1-3 18:08:17 ejshelton I agree....more Z would be nice
1-3 18:07:47 GNFan MTL wasn't producing (much of) anything before the buyout, so no new Z plans would be...consistent, albeit disappointing.
1-3 18:07:46 soccrdad30 I have been out of it for the past few days, did nothing but survive. Feeling better today but not very active
1-3 18:06:45 soccrdad30 we are sunny in the mid 20's today
1-3 18:06:43 ejshelton I barely have me out of bed....so no trains running
1-3 18:06:19 rvn2001 You're not kidding, Mike. That should remove our drought condition.
1-3 18:06:00 soccrdad30 I see Atlas has their branding on the Micro Trains website. They show previews of thing to come for N and HO, but nothing for Z :(
1-3 18:05:49 rvn2001 I am running 4 Z scale trains, 1 N scale loco and 1 Nn3 train today.
1-3 18:05:37 ejshelton Hi John
1-3 18:05:35 GNFan That's weather with a solid theme to it, Thom.
1-3 18:04:59 rvn2001 Hi John.
1-3 18:04:58 soccrdad30 Happy Sunday! Hello Mike, Ellen, Thom
1-3 18:04:41 GNFan Hi, John.
1-3 18:04:38 rvn2001 We're expecting snow/rain/freezing rain tonight and rain the rest of the week into the weekend...
1-3 18:03:42 ejshelton 36 here....
1-3 18:03:17 rvn2001 Same here, Mike.
1-3 18:02:48 GNFan Sunny, with temps in the mid-40s here.
1-3 18:02:22 rvn2001 How is Mike this morning?
1-3 18:02:12 ejshelton Hi Mike
1-3 18:02:02 GNFan Hi, Thom.
1-3 18:02:02 rvn2001 Hi Mike.
1-3 18:01:57 GNFan Hi, Ellen.
1-3 18:00:50 ejshelton Yup
1-3 18:00:39 rvn2001 I guess that's what counts.
1-3 18:00:13 ejshelton Yup.....but I was having fun....lol
1-3 17:59:51 rvn2001 That's what happens when you stay out late...
1-3 17:59:18 ejshelton Yup....Not awake yet
1-3 17:59:01 rvn2001 Hi Ellen, that's better.
