Baggage Car - Daily Chat / Re: My disappearance
Last post by Dave Buchholz - May 22, 2026, 04:37:15 PMSurgery is upcoming on May27/ The doctor reserved the room for 8 hours, the whole day.
The cancer of the sarcoma appears to have eroded into the femur of my left thigh. Th doctors plan is to do "One and Done". about a 95% chance the hip femur and knee will be totally bionic by Wednesday evening. His concern is leaving femur that is unknowingly already involved, not showing on the last MRI. Both of us only want ONE operation and recovery. If the surgery is limited to the lower half of the Femur and Knee replacement, that would be a blessing. But we wont know with certainty until the leg is actually opened up, and the sarcoma removed so that closer observation of the upper femur can be assessed.
Keep me in your prayers. Growing old is not for Sissies.

Rolling Stock / Re: Flea Market Honey Hole
Last post by ACL1504 - May 22, 2026, 02:37:56 PMThese next one was a fantastic find. I found it in an on MDC box. This is definitely not a Roundhouse boxcar.
It is Athearn number 1200, C&NW and carries car number 5609. Athearn released this car in June of 1957. It is very clean and has the old Athearn sprung trucks.
It does show a very little wheel wear but is still clean and dirt/dust free.
