Chief Eagles, Next time it rains down here in Texas(Fort Worth) for a week with out much of a letup I'll send it your way(ha-ha). We had a lot of flooding in low areas, but I am on high ground so it didn'tbother me. Just had to mow the yard twice to make it look good...

I'm not sure about that, but we needed this cold weather. Now it means we have less bugs to nag us which means less spraying to control the little suckers. Still working on my S gauge layout plans. 5x9 with the capability to go bigger for local train shows. I'm thinking of having both AC and...

Mid 30's in north texas( Fort Worth) to be exact. Ya'll need to keep the snow up in the northern parts. We set a record for the latest that it has snowed in Texas even though it didn't stick. If it had we would have about 5 inches on the ground, but that temp was higher so the snow melted on the...

Hey Jefelectric, I saw a layout that had the catenary wire as the power sorce for his trolley and it ran good. The only problem they were having was the one module they needed to make the comlete turnaround didn't make the show. We had snow and ice so this guy didn't make the trip. Glad your...

hey Chief, Sounds like you want to goof off some. Iused to until my uncle moved and sold his lake house on the lake with boat dock. One heck of a fishing hole. don't get sunburned down in Florida, remember water acts like a mirror.

HOT box 60103, I like your reply . that was where I was going but did not know the rest. Hot box detectors weren't fail prof you had to make sure they were working. That came from a neighbor that retired from MOPAC here in Fort Worth, Texas,

Hotbox It means the bearing surfaces are getting warm or hot . Many times when you see grass fires near railroad tracks, the sparksfrom the friction start these fires and most of the time they are hard for fire depts to get to so they burn out of control.

oops I didn't mean topost so many times but the snow had me all excited and goofy.

Woke up this morning to some white stuff on the ground here in Fort Worth, Texas. Just enough to make me stay home and get the snow shovel out(yea I got one) Made 2 neighbors happy. nobody down here knows how to drive in snow and ice. I spent 2 years in Alaska in the Air Force so I got to learn...

Hey I need some coffee too. Down here in Fort Worth, Texas we woke up to some strange white stuff on the ground. Don' bother me I spent 2 years in Alaska in the Air Force in Ancourage(1973-1975). so I miss seeing snow during the winter.
