Hey Lou,
I’ve watched that program many times and think of Ken every time I see that guy operating the forklift/k loader. Ken and him even act alike.
The “Canadian Express” finally delivered the GTW Box Car to the IPP&WRR and I got a confirmation call from Fred that he did receive it. However,
it had been so long that he didn’t remember ordering it. I believe you got it to me in March of 2016 at the ECLSTS. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Another good idea that came out of this Ops session:
A map on the clip boards
It was interesting to see the track layouts of the railroad. Mancos looks great to me and although I am unfamiliar with the dimensions of the depots and yards it seems to me that Mancos could provide a few furrowed brows in that LCL siding had more cars that usual - well it did happen I am sure on the big railroads.

Ken, like many of us, loves to have cars in your way, or at least in the wrong order - believe me, it’s not just Mancos!

Last year it had Jon Radder’s brow furrowed, I think, into a permanent state. …(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Jon lost weight just thinking about it? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
Bruce could lose 10 lbs if he shaved his beard… I’m thinking he is in Rebel mode this year and Ken’s Ops kicked it off . Glad I was able to attend. Good stuff guys and thanks for having me!
You’re always welcome, Rooster!
Fried? I was thinking roasted.
Good schematics, Ken. I especially like the directions and locations of the last and next towns along the top. Good detail.

And just to add insult to injury Fred told me today he realized already had that car on the inventory!
Ahhh, no real problem here. Gord will simply use his trusty label maker, and the one car’s number will be changed, to another number in the series…
No fuss, no gnashing of teeth, or the trouble of getting decals, or dry transfers made. Life is good. The timing of the delivery of the car, will allow it to be put into service, and earn its costs for the IPP&W RR.
Funny thing is that Steve and I were listing cars in a friend’s collection, and there in front of me is yet another of that same Aristo 40 foot box car…GTW…same number.!!
BTW is there anyone interested in a Hartford Kit, of a log car …still in its original sealed plastic bag…offers are welcome…even with metal wheels of the fine flange variety…
There is also possibly a pair of Hartford metal arch bar trucks with the full brake rigging…not part of the kit.

Gord and Fred …back in the day in the hood

Bump for post count !
I need to fix this thread! At least on my end anyway .
I will always heed Kens words even if they were totally appropriate in this video
