Morning all,

Not much to report here. Got a four day weekend coming up and boy am I looking forward to that.

These two, the Judge and ACL1504, know more about steam engines than I could ever hope to. Next to them I feel like I'm doing good to tell a diesel engine from a steam engine.

Have a great one!

Morning everyone

A fine sunny day in South Jersey, later on 86.
Should be a fine beach day.

Nice picture Bob.

Nothing from the bench. Hands just don't want to work right. So until the Dr. tells me what is exactly wrong I've been going easy.

Everyone have a great day!!

Morning, all.

I'll have a three day weekend, which isn't as good as Bob's, but it'll do. Slept an hour late today, work the last two days must have been more tiring than I thought. Supposed to rain much of today, will continue cleaning up and making sure the trains run for when the grandkids arrive for Father's day.

Good Morning

I have been in something of a slump concerning modeling and working on layout. I keep finding myself easily distracted and end up just playing around with ideas on what to model instead of actually moving forward on my projects. Oh well. It is another great day. I plan to enjoy it. Hope everyone else does as well.

Know the feeling, Jim. Sadly, I find I enjoy watching old TV shows courtesy of the DVR. At least the Phils have gotten so boring they're difficult to watch. Like you, the ideas are gushing, but following through has been lacking for a couple months.

Nice day in SE PA on tap. Rains came last night. Sorely needed.

Morning all,

Spent a good deal of time on the layout yesterday. Update later this afternoon.

Nice photo Bob, that trip to Scranton was really fun.

I've also mentioned to the Judge and Greg, that post Covid-19 I find myself not being able to focus for more than an hour or so. Yesterday is the first day since last November, I actually worked on the layout for more than 6 hours. Just saying.

Have a great day ya'll.

Good morning from the Northern Hqtrs. of the S&S RR. Very cold here this morning - this funny white stuff on roof this morning. I don't have the band width to post a picture but will return to that practice when I can get good internet. I hope everyone has a great day.

Good luck, my friend. You guys will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Good afternoon, all, best wishes for Sandy.

It's a nice comfortable day on the NH seacoast but I'm taking a break from Seashore Trolley Museum track work - my tick infection and the way my friend's legs look years after an antibiotic made him photosensitive have me avoiding sun for a week or two. My wife and I did make a run to Hobby Emporium over in Tyngsborough for more styrene. She'd run out of .050 spacing clapboard and strips she's using for trim. Once I've looked around here, I need to shut off the computer and get with either scenicing around her structures, a couple more foundations or progress photography.

Thank you Bob for the lead in photo - Lima Super Power at its finest.....the Nickel Plate loved their 700's.

Have a great day all.

G'day Tom.
This COVID is devastating for people, like yourself, who have contracted it.
There are a number of side effects that are not talked about.
I had a couple of friends who suffered from COVID in varying degrees of seriousness but what they both said was they noticed a loss of short term memory after they had recovered.
And age had nothing to do with this memory loss.
They were both in their 40's.
They did say recently that their memory is slowly improving so let's hope that happens for you.
Wishing you continued good luck with your recovery.
