Howdy.

It's snowing at the Big E. All's well In model railroad land.

See you all at the bargains table.

Later.

Morning. Jaime, that's not snow, that's a dusting! Between the storm and covid fears, this years show has a shortage on vendors. It will be surprising to see the crowd count. Guarantee the bars will be open

[Raymo]

I also wanted to pass on that Virtual Railfan is posting a live stream from the show if anyone is interested. Just go on YouTube and punch Amherst Train Show into the search. You might get to see Jaime buying a green hot dog..

Let's all meet up and stand in front of the camera and toast our green hot dogs in defiance of the Big E blizzard of 2022.

Morning,

We wish we were there also!

Good morning! Jaime keep us updated on all the $16 FSM kits you find.  I woke up this morning and took a look at my new clock/thermometer beside my bed and it said -8 degrees. Those negative numbers, even when you are warm inside, make it hard to get out of bed. It looks like the big snow has looped around us and headed to the train show. It is amazing how that works.


I hope everyone has a great day.  From the F&SM:

 Blowing light snow at 8:30, wind gusts up to 50mph and snow rates approaching 2"/hour predicted for mid-day.  As long as we don't lose power, I should get more progress on the batch boxcar build.

Good Morning All,

I guess our temp of 42 is likely a fall day to most of you up north. Tomorrow the low is supposed to be 30. That's darn cold for Central Florida. Hopefully a lot of train room time today.

For those at the show have fun and stay warm.

I hope everyone has a good day.

40 degrees and breezy in Central Florida. Apparently the high will be 45 then down to 25 tonight. So a good day to enjoy some benchtime. Hope you folks at the show are well. Looking forward to the picture of group with green hot dogs.

Sorry about the cold. John S. is one guy who will NOT be retiring to Florida...his benchwork was built to support a million pounds of scenery...that layout is going nowhere-so neither is John .


I plan to book my hotel (at least) for the NNGC today...maybe some train time if life works out

Good morning.


John S. wins for low temp, mine was only zero F.  Given our current two degrees above and blustery winds, we're looking at wind chills of -20, lower wind chills when the wind gusts of up to 30MPH are reached, so I might have a winner here.  You poor Floridians with 40 degree temps are breaking my heart.  Just sayin'.   

Obviously, inside stuff on the agenda.  One of the disadvantages to a bedroom layout is trying to figure out what kit will actually fit in any given (usually too small) space.  I'm spending a lot of time with footprints and mockups to see what will fit and also give me the best impact in terms of character, sight lines, etc.  It seems like that is most of my modeling lately, and it is somewhat frustrating to say the least. 


Everyone have a safe, productive day, and stay warm!

Afternoon all,

Think I'll spend the day at the workbench.  I could connect to the office and do some work on a project but.....I'm salaried so the heck with that.  I'll ponder my current project at work while working on a model instead of pondering my next project at the workbench while staring at a computer screen.   



Have a great one!

Afternoon


Snowing or I should say still snowing in South Jersey!!
We already have 14" of the white stuff with 3 to 4 foot drifts from the gusty wind 45 mph.


A good day to stay instead and sit at the bench.


Everyone have a wonderful day!!
