| 4-10 17:44:29 | soccrdad30 | Thom, maybe this is a nice calling for a side job of loco repairs |
| 4-10 17:44:24 | rvn2001 | I suspect that I have enough stuff around here to qualify for most of the certificate categories. |
| 4-10 17:42:36 | soccrdad30 | for the weathering guys, they can show their work and get commision work |
| 4-10 17:42:35 | rvn2001 | Oh!...and my name in the N.M.R.A. publication. |
| 4-10 17:41:43 | rvn2001 | It will get me a polo shirt with my MMR number on it that I have to pay for and a picture with the awarding member. |
| 4-10 17:40:51 | soccrdad30 | kinda what I am saying, but, what will it get you having one? |
| 4-10 17:40:16 | rvn2001 | There are too many other certificates that I'd need to earn. |
| 4-10 17:40:03 | soccrdad30 | Do you think the MMR is worth getting it? |
| 4-10 17:39:27 | soccrdad30 | oh, I forgot about that |
| 4-10 17:39:15 | ejshelton | Might be worth joining.....Maybe |
| 4-10 17:38:28 | rvn2001 | He said we'd just need to do the paperwork. I don't think they give certificates to non-members. |
| 4-10 17:37:35 | soccrdad30 | then they should have given it to you! |
| 4-10 17:36:24 | rvn2001 | The president of the club said they were worthy of a MMR certificate from the N.M.R.A. |
| 4-10 17:35:28 | soccrdad30 | you tha man Thom! |
| 4-10 17:33:03 | ejshelton | That's fantastic! |
| 4-10 17:31:20 | rvn2001 | He was thrilled so much that he was showing them to anyone who would look. |
| 4-10 17:30:52 | ejshelton | Glad to hear it....I hope he liked them. |
| 4-10 17:25:54 | rvn2001 | I returned the N scale Class A Climaxes to their owner at the train show yesterday. |
| 4-10 17:25:24 | GNFan |
I learn so much in these chats....  |
| 4-10 17:22:45 | rvn2001 |
Not until they get to the bottom.  |
| 4-10 17:21:46 | GNFan |
The tops of the wheels don't get dusty? |
| 4-10 17:20:43 | ejshelton | LOL |
| 4-10 17:20:23 | rvn2001 | Only on the bottom, Mike... |
| 4-10 17:20:19 | soccrdad30 | sorry grandkids are here, helping wife with the girls |
| 4-10 17:18:33 | GNFan |
"Wait! The wheels can get dirty?" |
| 4-10 17:16:45 | ejshelton | That's very possible |
| 4-10 17:14:01 | rvn2001 | Maybe they didn't know how to clean the wheels. |
| 4-10 17:12:05 | rvn2001 | That's a good sign that it did run. |
| 4-10 17:11:48 | GNFan | Part of the reason they were for sale? |
| 4-10 17:11:21 | soccrdad30 | just looking at in now, all the rails and details are fine, the wheels need to be cleaned |
| 4-10 17:10:24 | rvn2001 | That wouldn't surprise me. |
| 4-10 17:09:43 | soccrdad30 | there has been a few times when the locos I got, really did not run well |
| 4-10 17:08:58 | rvn2001 | I hope it runs well when you test it. |
| 4-10 17:08:17 | soccrdad30 | it did |
| 4-10 17:07:54 | rvn2001 | As long as it arrived safely. |
| 4-10 17:07:49 | soccrdad30 | they said it ran |
| 4-10 17:06:56 | rvn2001 |
That must be why you bought it. |
| 4-10 17:06:55 | soccrdad30 | no lid for the case, but the foam for the rails are there |
| 4-10 17:06:28 | soccrdad30 | I thought it was too. |
| 4-10 17:05:57 | rvn2001 | That's a good price. |
| 4-10 17:05:36 | soccrdad30 | hard to turn down... they wanted 140.00 for it |
| 4-10 17:05:09 | ejshelton | 75 and sunny here... |
| 4-10 17:04:45 | rvn2001 | Good for you, John. |
| 4-10 17:04:33 | soccrdad30 | a used, not new |
| 4-10 17:04:13 | soccrdad30 | no Z today, but I did get a new used loco from ebay... CN AZL switcher, I need to test out |
| 4-10 17:02:02 | soccrdad30 | but a cool breeze |
| 4-10 17:01:57 | ejshelton | Hi John Mike and Thom |
| 4-10 17:01:56 | soccrdad30 | we are going to hit 70 today |
| 4-10 17:01:42 | GNFan | Hi, John. |
| 4-10 17:01:28 | GNFan | So m I! |
