Local club meet today. I need it. Be some needed therapy running trains and talking with friends. Mind off of everything else it SHOULD be on. Been running a bit ragged and could use some distraction.
Feed your head, remember what the door mouse said…
Time to recharge and refresh, don’t reboot, do re-toot! (groan)!(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Devon,
Buck up fella. Have FUN at the club meeting. Talk trains with your friends. Other matters will be solved in due time and then you can get back to building a railroad. Life seems to always get in one’s way from time to time, but it doesn’t last. We here are all on your side (even that Maynard character (he really does like you you know)).

Well had a good time and it was nice and relaxing. Ran my porter until it stripped its gear. It didn’t crack (I don’t think) just spins on the axle. Consensus is that I need to add some loctite and I will drill and pin the gear and axle. But there is no stress there, not a big deal. It was a good day and the club members layout is very nice.
Now time for some homework.
Wasn’t it Fat Freddy that said; Trains will get you through times of stress better than money will get you through times of no trains?
Or sumthin’ like that…
I’m glad you had a normal G-day.
John
Yes Devon it was a good day. To bad about your gear going out but it was nice to see your train running at Steve’s house. To bad our raffle chairman didn’t show up, but the food was great and the company even better. I’m really glad the rain held off until the very last.

BTW the club’s abbreviation is INGRS. No “W”. Have fun with your homework.
Pics, or it didn’t happen. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Come on now Steve, you were there too running your train. Where’s your pictures? LOL
Yeah anyone else and I would understand. Well Steve is getting old maybe he forgot he was there.
People wanna see pictures. Like they say in acedemia, publish or perish. Besides, I didn’t have my camera with me.

so per your own definition… you weren’t there.
edit:
that sets my mind in action - if i don’t take a pic of this tempting choclate, before i let it disapear, i haven’t eaten it?
must be a Vet thing…
Here’s proof that Devon and Steve ran a train at our club meeting last Saturday. The top picture is Steve’s Bachmann Ten Wheeler with a short passenger train. The other picture is Devon’s $20.00 locomotive that he kit bashed with a short freight train.
So quit your whining about no pictures. I would have posted these earlier but somehow I forgot to renew my freight shed account and I didn’t have enough room left to upload any pictures. So enjoy I’m all paid up now.
Devon is very creative. He bought a box of parts at a swap meat, and put together that locomotive and tender.
I usually bring my Lionel Atlantic, but it died, and is now awaiting transformation into a 2-8-0. I had this Annie of uncertain origin (I don’t remember when I got it), so I put a battery and r/c in it and away we go.
Thanks for the photos, Chuck.
The caboose and flat car were also in the box. So that train was almost all courtesy of a $20 dollar box of parts. The caboose was ready to run and the flat car needed a truck. Not bad for a twenty spot and some ingenuity.
