Nothing going on here - got a sinus headache, finally got back on computer, etc. I did get to work 6 hours OT today, so that will make next paycheck nicer - also wife got a nice little raise so wants to go to mall. Couldn't go today, since son has this project (should have been done weeks ago), but might tomorrow. There is a board game based on Railroad Tycoon I want to look at again, it looked great from the box and I read a review online that made it sound really good too.

Good Morning All from NE Ohio.
Where the temp is 46 and headed to 51 and by Tue 61 deg. We are headed to the beaches of Lake Eire for another fun day!

The layout from yesterday is owned by one of our OTTS members. It is 25 foot by 50 foot U shaped layout. One side is mostly yard. He has 99% MTH Permier, with a few Railking and one or two Lionel. He does run both DCS and TMCC. Most of his items is less than 3 years old.

The yard is two layers

Good Morning from West Texas !!! Currently 57 degrees and expecting a high this afternoon of 78. It maybe a little windy though, gusts up to 25 mph, but we're accustomed to that out here. I finally got my bench work completed for the layout yesterday. Today I plan to begin attaching foam to the top. Hope you all have a great day!!!

Engineering question?...How much does a house weigh? - -


Answer: More than a rural two lane bridge can hold.

Tom, that layout is really great, is that Ross switches? Ozzy, I'll bet Buckeye has a few things to tell us about that bridge, LOL! Man, this would ruin your whole day! Need to call Orlando hotel and confirm my room for the training.

Any good train stores in Orlando?

Morning all. Warm here. Snow melted. Just got back from church - have two, no three classes starting this week. Glad to have them though. Long day at church as vid director - lots of techie things to work out - the bride had a big drama she cast - and ended up filling in for a role: 48 hours of intense studying. Think we'll really Sabbath the rest of the day. Really enjoyed running trains with train-dog Rudy last evening. Gave Percy a very heavy train and he did OK. On his own, he derailed on 3 of 4 curves. I think it's the track. Though I will also check his couplers. Put out one bad-order car with MPC trucks too.
