9-4 1:34:00 soccrdad30 Hello Doug
9-4 1:31:56 DAZed howdy Stony
9-4 1:31:08 GNFan Hi, Stony.
9-4 1:30:44 soccrdad30 Hello Stony
9-4 1:28:59 stonysmith 8:20 "we need to go by the grandkids"
9-4 1:28:57 ejshelton Hi Stony
9-4 1:28:52 soccrdad30 wow, she is tough
9-4 1:28:48 rvn2001 Hi Stony.
9-4 1:28:42 stonysmith 8:10 "I need something to eat"
9-4 1:28:20 stonysmith 7:55 wife says "two more minutes"
9-4 1:28:09 DAZed ok, well I've not completely lost it yet then
9-4 1:28:08 stonysmith 6:00 wife says "pick me up at 7:30"
9-4 1:28:06 ejshelton I know I wasn't there
9-4 1:28:02 rvn2001 John & Ellen had family things to do.
9-4 1:27:45 rvn2001 That was just last Sunday, Doug.
9-4 1:27:19 DAZed but maybe that was last week....my days are running together
9-4 1:26:54 DAZed how's everyone doing tonight? This week has flown by, seems like we were just chatting on Sunday. Except for Ellen and John I believe.
9-4 1:25:25 soccrdad30 but the good thing is that they are shared and seen on YT
9-4 1:24:27 ejshelton Mike there are very few original ideas. Most have been used somewhere
9-4 1:24:01 ejshelton Hi Doug
9-4 1:23:58 soccrdad30 Hello Doug
9-4 1:23:57 DAZed Hi Mike, Ellen, Thom, John
9-4 1:23:50 rvn2001 Hi Doug.
9-4 1:23:37 GNFan Hi, Doug.
9-4 1:23:33 ejshelton That would be fun...just rearrange at will
9-4 1:23:29 GNFan Could be. I'm not going to pretend it's an original idea.
9-4 1:22:39 soccrdad30 I think I may have seen something like that on youtube
9-4 1:22:10 GNFan It is, John.
9-4 1:21:34 soccrdad30 that sounds like a cool idea Mike
9-4 1:21:02 GNFan Todd in our Seattle-area group has a set of identically-sized, hexagonal pieces to which he attaches the buildings he's bought or made. He can rearrange each piece/set of buildings in different configurations in a snap.
9-4 1:20:16 soccrdad30 i saw a few videos of guys in other scales handling it that way
9-4 1:19:02 rvn2001 I printed roads on sticker paper.
9-4 1:18:32 soccrdad30 i am going to try it. I am waiting on a order of two more N/Z scale plastruct sheets for my roads
9-4 1:16:42 ejshelton Sounds good John
9-4 1:15:56 rvn2001 That's what I did except I glued the blocks in place.
9-4 1:15:32 soccrdad30 I have some thin steel sheets I can cut up to mount magnets into the base to hold the city blocks and rearrange them with desired
9-4 1:13:03 soccrdad30 I plan to make some city blocks and glue the buildings to the block base so I can interchange them
9-4 1:12:45 rvn2001 Trying to find the right locations can be fun.
9-4 1:12:16 soccrdad30 done with that part, I am making roofs for them and fitting them into the scene
9-4 1:10:40 rvn2001 Are you still painting buildings, John?
9-4 1:10:15 soccrdad30 other than that, nothing much new with me. doing some repairs on train cars that I have
9-4 1:10:11 rvn2001 I am running 4 Z scale trains, 1 Nn3 train and 1 N scale train tonight.
9-4 1:07:27 ejshelton Hi Mike John and Thom
9-4 1:07:13 GNFan Hi, Ellen.
9-4 1:07:05 soccrdad30 hello Ellen
9-4 1:07:03 rvn2001 Hi Ellen.
9-4 1:06:58 soccrdad30 I am slowly working on my city scape (downtown)
9-4 1:04:45 soccrdad30 hopefully Mike. Mother nature keeps teasing us
9-4 1:04:27 rvn2001 It got up to 80 degrees here this afternoon. "MTL DC GN F7As....I'll just put theses in a safe place so I can find them later..."
