The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 2

[ACL1504]

Tomorrow the Judge and I will be going through all the freight cars, all 165 of them and decide which ones we'll need or use on the A&S RR. All of them are new and unbuilt.

Really nice job on the roofing.

You have more boxed rail cars than the LHS does!

[tct855]

A hundred sixty five of them,

Whooo, you are definitely a non compos mentis ferroequinologist.  I wish I had your botheration.  KP-out...

[Mark Dalrymple]

Your coal tower looks spectacular, Tom!

Always a pleasure catching up on your work!

Cheers, Mark.

I love your inventory. You are one of the few that is brave enough to show how many cars are still in boxes. Been there and have a "T" shirt. I had a neighbor that 6000 cars, still in boxes. He just bought them, no layout, no anything, just a garage full of boxes. Don't know what happened to all of them during the divorce!  You just can't have enough or something like that. Best of luck with all that inventory. Now i need to get back to  my clouds and lightning. The long spool of LED's will be here on Thursday. Can't wait.

You forgot to add Diet Pepsi distributorship to the public service announcement.

Do you do mail orders?  I rather buy from you than ebay

Thom,

Yepper, finally whittled down the stash to 165. Of course, I didn't count the few dozen Kadee boxcars. No need to go through them as I only bought what I wanted and what fit my time. That would be Saturday, July 18, 1953 at 3:12.38 PM. After all, every day is a Saturday here.

Greg,

Not entirely sure where the massage stuff originated but it must be on your mind for sure.

Right now, there are no store hours.

Frank,

I appreciate you stopping by for an update. Glad to hear Russ got the LED lightning working.

Enjoyed our phone conversation this morning. WOW, 6,000 cars and no layout. Must be a serious collector.

Jan,

Thank you for the compliment. Here's hoping you get cooler weather soon. Nothing worse than getting the juices flowing for train stuff and then having to wait.
