Good Morning Folks;
I will open the clubhouse today. Potbelly stove on, coffee brewing and pastries set out. Grab a chair. Woke up to chilly gray weather. Apparently we have a freeze warning coming in tonight so Florida will be cold like most of the country tomorrow.
I am still not happy with results on the roof of building I am making so think I will start again and see if I can do better. Other than that not much on agenda today. Have a great day. Todays photo is of an old 1900 mill located in central Florida called Hesters Mill. It did have a railroad siding.

Morning Everyone,
Jim thanks for the second coffee and pastry. Good luck on the roof rebuild; not my favorite modeling job.
The photo didn't show up; just a "?" mark.
It's 13 going to 23 in New York. Officially we have received 101" of snow for the first time in 6 years.
Going to warm up next week into the low 40's.....melt baby melt.
Have a great day!
Morning all.....
Morning everyone

Nice photo of that mill.
Everyone have a great day!! :)

Good morning, all. I see Jim's photo, possibly a background process that has to run after each photo is posted? In the lower Merrimack Valley, the day started in single digits but it's sunny and headed for 30F this afternoon. Today's agenda is working on my Flying Yankee history and modeling presentation, plus a trip to the bank.
Good morning everyone.
50 now and 64 later in Bakersfield, CA.
Jim, thanks for the second cup and good luck with the roof.
Star and I did an amazing hike yesterday.
Here's a short video of one of the scenes we saw: https://youtube.com/shorts/pQrwTO6cvUU
Have a great day everyone.
Morning all,
Gotta get to work but thought I'd check in.
Hope to get home early and make some track/homasote decisions...but then we're going to a local brewpub for a special pairings of craft beers & girl scout cookies ::) Oh well, I like both, so I'll tough it out!
Have a good one
100 headed to 250 with high hazy but bright skies 8) with it looks like a very light bit of snow still floating down as well. :o
KSstill in the chill...
Good morning. It's good weather to sit and enjoy the hot coffee. We're in the upper 20's, have 6+ inches of snow with more coming. Not usual weather for Tidewater Virginia. I'm staying off the roads since the folks around here don't know how to handle it and I've been away from snow driving for quite a while.

Good morning everyone. I am brand new ro this forum so I thought this would be the place to introduce myself. Let me grab some of that coffee first.
My name is Dale and I am an HO scale modeler working on a waterfront layout set in the pacific northwest, time frame not totally dialed in yet but sometime between 1920 and 1950. As I push forward that will become a tighter window. Currently I am working an a Sierra West kit 'Foss Landing' and that will be followed by 'The Shipyard at Foss Landing' also by Sierra West to make a cook waterfront scene. I plan on starting a tread on the progress as soon as I figure out the beat place for it.
14 degees and a stack of snow on the ground in Cheyenne Wyoming. It's February folks.
Howdy folks,
Jim, thanks for opening and the cool photo.
Sunny and cold in Georgia with horrendous wind gusts.
Working on the hobby projects upstairs.
Have fun,
mike
Welcome to the forum Dale.....we're looking to forward to your build threads and remember, we love pictures..... :)

Welcome Dale...
Pacific Northwest + waterfront + Sierra West = "I'm in" ;D
Late check-in here, but good day to all. Sorry about the cold wintry weather that most of you are having. Today it will be in the mid-70's and sunny here in the desert.
Welcome Dale- looking forward to pictures of your work.
Jim, that's a great picture. I love the roof on the structure and also the way they are bringing logs to the mill, on two wheel dollys with big wagon wheels pulled by horses. A whole lot of scratch-building ideas there. Thanks for the picture.
Welcome Dale.
Welcome Dale.
Welcome Dale good to have you here.

Welcome to the forum, Dale! Look forward to your project.
