John,

Okay, I'll get to it this coming week. As I said it will be fun. And, John, don't forget to bring the piece of track!

Hopefully there will be no smoke and fire connected to this project.

Ya'll hear how this probationary member of the SBG is being a smart mouth with the EL Presidente? Cut him a little slack, he is a Pennsy fan after all.

Darn good thing for John that the ovalix is standard gauge.   

You know Bobby, that really hurt! I'm so hurt I'm only going to let you build the rest of my FSM kits. The good news is that I only have 22 unbuilt ones left.

Oh my!  What a horrible punishment.     I guess I'd better start serving my sentence soon.

Hey, isn't the new guy always fair game?

John, forget?
That would be like forgetting to put the goodies in a Blizzard!!!

Condolences and 'You freakin' lucky devil!' from Arkansas (home of the Ledbetters - lucky that they didn't
steal 'em first!).

I will keep trying to become worthy of becoming a member of both. Thank you Gman .  Greg tries to make it harder to break into the SBG. Time will tell

Time to wake up this dormant thread...
1- ACL Tom returned my beloved little Blackstone C-19 and caboose from his shops complete with beautiful new paint, weathering  and C&DR decals direct from Dave Frary. I love that there's something of a direct connection between my little layout and the one that inspired it beginning in 1977.
2- I made some progress on the Foscale Distillery background flat kit. It has a long way to go, but I plan to feature it high on a hill overlooking the harbor. I want to support it primarily with stone walls and create a large deck overhanging the hillside.
3- Our old buddy, David Fugere (Cuzzin Dave) checked in with a photo of one of the Pulpwood cars he's built for me. Fantastic!


It's been a good week for my backwoods short line in the woods. Thanks to my talented and generous friends!

Dr. Ben's Baby Building Blocks are great for creating stone walls!

He also has bigger packages and different colors - just search his website.

John,

Wow, the layout is looking good. The pulpwood car looks fantastic. It's getting close to a Northern Butty Group meet.

John,
Great to see the shot of the engine against some scenery, has to be great to see it moving thru the layout.  David certainly did an outstanding job on that pulpwood car, the rack adds so much interest to a common flat.
