Morning all,

I hope to slip in a few minutes at the work bench during my lunch hour today.   ;)  It hasn't seen any activity since Monday.

Good morning!  Had about an inch of snow overnight.  Ugh.  Hoping to do some train related stuff later on, but first, coffee.

Morning, all.

Two days off after three more bad days at work.  Need to clear the back aisle of the layout as it's just full of "stuff".

Good morning.


Temps in the teens outside to start the day.  I'm lucky to be inside where it is warm and toasty.  Layout work on the agenda, working on the wiring, my least favorite part of the hobby.


Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Good morning! Wayne Olson is on his way over to work on the layout with me.  It's time to do some track testing. It is just plain cold around here. I hope everyone has a great day.  From the F&SM:

Holiday luncheon for my office staff today but pretty light overall and no class tonight, so I expect to make more progress painting castings. I got started a bit yesterday and enjoyed it but also knew when to walk away for the night (before I got sloppy).


Have a good day all

Morning all,

In fusion treatment at 10 and no idea what I'll do this afternoon. Perhaps a small new build or just chill.

Have a great day.

Tom  ;D

Good Morning All,

Have some chores then starting to wire up the new 3 track siding that will be used for storage of my large diesel consists that are a pain to run through the turntable.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning,

Still more snow. Finally got a call from my family doctor at 9:30 pm for my annual checkup ... 2 years after I asked for it.

Down to 18 in my part of SE NH last night with a dusting of snow.  Wife and I may forgo a Christmas Tree this year  :(   

Hope Tom doesn't die from boredom while doing his treatments...

Really cool photo Tommy, the agent at Argos,Indiana on the Nickel Plate always said the railroad didn't run on coal but ran on paper.
