Good morning from Somerset.
It has been a long while since I posted. It is great the forum is back up and running. During my time away I have been exhibiting my three exhibition layouts 12-16 times a year between them. In the next eight weeks I have four exhibition invites. The fourth one is in eight weeks time and the layout will be a new one in 009. It is bare boards at the moment but I hope to share some pictures of it coming together with the forum.

Happy weekend everyone.

Good morning, Mike, and everyone else. Glad to see you back, Mike. I just returned, myself, after being told the forum was alive again.

Looking forward to seeing your 009 layout.

Morning all,

Mike, great to see you again my friend. The SBG guys were asking about you last week.

The Judge is coming over this morning to run trains and speed test the Seaboard RS-3. Looks good but can barely pull over 5 cars.

Nothing else interesting to report this morning.

Have a safe and healthy day everyone.

Morning all.

Glad to see Mike has returned to the fold.  

Here it's seven below and I'm getting ready to head to work.  The Iowa Road Conditions site notes there are icy bridges afoot.

Good Morning All,

Starting out in the 40's here and tomorrow in the 30's.

Mike I'm really glad to see you posting again. It sounds like you have been quite busy.

I hope to have some train room time today but not sure at this point due to honey-do's.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning from chilly Florida, 43F today (6C). Apparently it will go below freezing tonight. First, welcome back Mike, the Forum is up and running in a stable manner. We've increased size of attachments to 5mg so looking forward to photos of your great work.

I will be compiling a list of everyone's e-mail on file and sending it out soon so hopefully we can get more of the past members back on-line.

As for my own modeling, just slow progress I am afraid, nothing interesting to report. Today's big event is my Tampa Bay Bucs (American Football Team) are playing the Detroit Lions (Deb's team) tonight. A rare event indeed since Detroit rarely makes it into the playoffs but are a heavy favorite to win today. Frankly I'm just happy the Buc's made the playoffs this year so should be fun to watch.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Glad to see Mad Harry back in the house! 

Chilly start today, should stay below freezing until Monday. 

Back to the brickworks Mansard roof later this morning.

add:  waiting for the glue to dry...

I'm using Deluxe "Super 'Phatic" for wood to styrene, and carpenter yellow glue for wood to wood (corner posts.)

And a test fit on location:

Morning all,

I'm very happy to see you posting again Mike! 

Trip to the grocery store on tap for this morning and then some workbench time.  I have a tiny bit to do to wrap up the Sea Hag Bar and then I can move on to the large jib crane.  I hope to get both finished this weekend and maybe even start on the actual wharf.

Have a great one!

Good morning.

Single digit start to the day with a bitter north wind.  Not fun to be outside, but again, Dr. Jeff takes the low temperature prize for today. 

Looks like things are ramping up on the forum.  Jim Flynn's announcement regarding the forum being back and better was in my early rail .io group digest email this morning. Hopefully this will result in some former members finding their way back as well as some new members signing up.

I hope everyone has a great day, and manages to stay warm.

By the way, Happy Birthday Mike and Scott
