17-5 17:34:06 soccrdad30 I think that is when he changed scales to N
17-5 17:33:00 soccrdad30 I bought a bunch of each and in one of the lots there were a few FR coal hoppers he weathered. Still have them and they are very nice
17-5 17:32:10 DAZed I have temptations regarding the F45/FP45's, but thankfully that will probably be one I'll skip.
17-5 17:32:07 soccrdad30 Many years ago when Jim O'Connell was selling off his Z layout buildings and running stock.
17-5 17:31:08 soccrdad30 I do like the FR cars
17-5 17:31:01 rvn2001 I would be confident that they are exactly as he describes them.
17-5 17:30:58 soccrdad30 Doug, I am sure there are many out there that would rather have brass/stainless steel stock
17-5 17:30:03 DAZed *brass one
17-5 17:29:46 DAZed well, I'm sure there are people that would still rather buy a brass on anyway. But the number of potential buyers has surely been cut by about 90%, or at least will be once everyone knows about the new run.
17-5 17:29:35 soccrdad30 He is selling some locos, but he is abit too high on them
17-5 17:28:46 rvn2001 Now I get his "Collector & Club emails.
17-5 17:28:19 GNFan Hmm. *Sneaky...*
17-5 17:27:25 DAZed noticed he is trying to sell a brass BN F45, before everybody finds out about the plastic version....lol.
17-5 17:25:40 rvn2001 Yes, he does. That's where I first bought from him.
17-5 17:25:04 soccrdad30 Uncle Will sells on ebay too
17-5 17:24:52 soccrdad30 no, first time for me
17-5 17:24:35 rvn2001 Is it from a seller you've bought from before?
17-5 17:24:34 soccrdad30 there is a guy who sells new Z locos, but he does not test them nor will allow returns and he asks for top dollar
17-5 17:23:47 soccrdad30 I know, sometimes it is a hit or miss
17-5 17:22:37 rvn2001 I hope so, for your sake, John.
17-5 17:22:14 soccrdad30 MTL GP35
17-5 17:21:59 soccrdad30 I spent some money yesterday on ebay. I bought a used C&O GP35. It looked in great shape and tested out fine, so I am told
17-5 17:21:46 rvn2001 I think he just does the floorplan.
17-5 17:21:11 DAZed ok, well hopefully Monday will have some news for you
17-5 17:20:35 rvn2001 Doug, I sent the info to Monroe Friday as Jenny suggested. I have not heard anything yet.
17-5 17:20:17 soccrdad30 No one ever responded to my post
17-5 17:19:17 DAZed Thom, any word back about the NTS?
17-5 17:18:30 soccrdad30 Welcome Stony
17-5 17:18:25 rvn2001 Hi Stony.
17-5 17:18:20 GNFan Hi, Stony.
17-5 17:18:10 DAZed and Stony
17-5 17:18:06 DAZed HowdyZ Mike,Thom, John
17-5 17:18:02 stonysmith chirp
17-5 17:17:12 rvn2001 Hi Doug.
17-5 17:17:09 GNFan Hi, Doug.
17-5 17:16:52 soccrdad30 Hello Doug
17-5 17:16:38 soccrdad30 oh campers, did not think about them... we will see if they fit
17-5 17:16:05 rvn2001 I have bears and campers interacting on my Tunnel ZBT module.
17-5 17:13:47 rvn2001 Good idea, John.
17-5 17:13:21 soccrdad30 I think they will Thom, planning on different areas for them
17-5 17:13:00 soccrdad30 I should check with Loren about any extra trees he may have
17-5 17:12:42 rvn2001 I hope they all behave themselves nicely.
17-5 17:12:28 soccrdad30 the 100 pines should thicken up the forest some
17-5 17:12:02 soccrdad30 I will have 5 deer, a moose, and a bear to puton the layout
17-5 17:11:54 GNFan Fortunately, I am told they won't need much watering. ;-)
17-5 17:11:31 soccrdad30 ha!
17-5 17:11:18 rvn2001 Try not to damage the roots, John. They'll live longer that way. :D
17-5 17:10:21 soccrdad30 I think there is about 100 trees to transplant
17-5 17:10:07 soccrdad30 this week I am planning to replanting some trees from an oval layout to the 3' x 2' layout
17-5 17:09:44 rvn2001 Sounds like you'll be busy installing those details, John.
