Morning gang. Now Tom, that is a great photo [you always have good ones]. Looks just like it could have been years ago. Glad you are having some warming because it should turn cold later this week for you. I plan on working upstairs. announce1 Love these smilies. Off to plant some tree at oldest's housse [promised to do that several months ago] and visit with Frankie [he lives right up the street from her].

Have a good one and God bless all.

NO Hurry, I am not sure what I will do, maybe trade it for two post war hoppers or sell it on ebay.

I think I will advertise it on the ogr site first. I have $30 or so in it.

My CTT came today along with a seed catalog, spring is on the way.:thumb:

I used that pic above for a web screen.

The ones you posted at my place are generating comments.


I will tell you what on this scale C&O hopper.

I will sell it for a donation to the Miner's Fund that the Wva Council Of Churches has on line.

Send them $30 and me postage and it is yours.

Goggled pic of the day.

When I was awaiting my first transplant in 1999, I was in the hospital in Charlottesville, VA., and the Express made a stop at the depot there, right under my windows.

The nurses knowing I liked trais, moved my bed to the window so I caould see it as it set there some 20 minutes. I could see the folks inside the cars, it was wonderful.

The whole staff then came to watch it pull out. Had only it be pulled by steam, I could have gone on to my reward then and there a happy Finnmiester.

Great OTTS meeting last night. WE were ask to join forces with the Western Reserve Model RR Museum to build a very large O gauge layout. IT will be 50’ x 24’ E shape layout. Best part is the Museum supplies all the materials and we supply the know how and the labor. Then we get to use the layout.
