Morning all.

Heat index made it up to 114 yesterday.  Another scorcher today.  I'm getting ready to head out to work.  

This truck was at the rail museum.  Looks like something Raymo would like.

Morning all.

Still all nose to the grindstone here. Getting some time in at the bench though and got the first of three FOS kits built for a diorama.

Morning all,

Jeff, nice photo. The rail museum needs to put air in the tires or at least prop it on blocks.

Have a great day ya'll.

Good morning. 

Foggy start to the day yet again.  Thankfully, much cooler weather than what Jeff is dealing with, today's forecast high is in the mid-80's. 

I hope everyone has an awesome day!

Foggy here in SE NH, but seasonable (unlike the heat waves elsewhere.)  A/C repairman might show up today, that would be A Good Thing.

Over at Railroad-Line, Mike Hohn (who sent me parts for the coaling dock) suggested I rotate the bins to face the trestle, and have the coal wagons pass underneath the railroad trestle bridge.  I'm considering that idea!

Now the question is whether I make the coal wagons pass underneath the trestle bridge, or just use the space between the bins and the trestle bridge.

Craig:  Any update on the paint project?

Afternoon all,

I'm a bit tired and sore from yesterday's painting session, my morning walk this a.m., and yard work.  The recliner is calling.

Keeping with the 'things Raymo might build' theme here's one of a truck I saw in Mt. Dora a while back.

Have a great one!

 Afternoon check in today...late to the party...big storm knocked out power around 8 pm yesterday and finally restored today almost 16 hours after it went out. Caught up on sleep...wife,son and grandson headed out to the state fair this morning while I stayed behind to watch the fort.

Good afternoon all,

Noobie to this forum, but oldie in real life! Thanks to the admin for approving my account! No model railroad at the moment, they come & go as life dictates. Currently I'm enjoying building laser cut wood kits, with a few custom touches along the way. Hardly to the level of 'bashing, at least so far.

I'm learning so much browsing everything here, especially the kit build threads - thank you all!. I hope to share a build thread of my own in the not to distant future.

A late check in for me. Welcome to the group Ed, glad you are here. Looking forward to your efforts and we live pictures. 

To that end, when we were driving out of Toledo the wife was able to grab a quick photo of the Anderson Grain Silos. Not the best photo but what a great way to spruce up what are normally ugly concrete cylinders.
