TrainOps 2017

Hello all,

A little late to the party, but still kicking. have been working on non railroad things around the home front, like painting all three of my structures (still in progress) but am planning to make trainops. if there is sufficient interest I can open up for operations on Friday morning like I have done in the past. not much new here with the layout but railroad is still in great shape.

Let me know via PM your interest

Al Pomeroy

I personally hope there is AL and hope pictures will be added to this thread for the sake of those that are unable attend!

Unfortunately I need to work Friday morning, or I’d be in, Al. I put in for the full day off, but the boss is taking the following week off so he wants all hands on deck Friday AM for assignments/ Hopefully I can get on the road by Noon.

We would sure like to come, but Jean is still having a very difficult time getting around. Still planning on attending TrainOps at Bob’s and Stan’s, but I doubt she’ll be doing any operating this year.

Hi Bruce - Glad you guys will be able to make it.

Two weeks out, anyone I don’t know about coming? Need to know how much to dilute the soup.

Diluted with what?

TrainOps 2017 is set for the weekend of Aug 11,12,13. Plan accordingly.

Or just come for the soup!

Bob, its the booze you need to dilute, so there is enough to go around. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Hope you guys all have a great time. Once again, stressing over not having enough time in a day to do all we want. Be safe on your travels, no matter how you travel.

Ack. Another one you’re missing? See you at Andy’s in October???

Enjoy your trips. What fun!

NEVER dilute booze. Folks need to bring their own if they expect the good stuff.

Doug Matheson and I are planning to show up on Saturday Morning at Bob’s and Sunday morning at Stan’s.

That’s going on in another thread Bruce.

Sounds to me like Ric is pounding out (what he thinks) is some 80lb rail with his bride of “many” years. Don’t beat the man up and allow him to proceed on his tour with his bride which he will survive to post us pictures !

Rooster,

Love your “posts” or inputs to the conversation. Sometimes, I even understand them. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

With the utmost respect and curiousity, what the heck are you talking about? I even looked at the computer screen from the other side and still can’t figure this one out. Its code I’m sure, I just don’t have the decoder ring with me.

Jon Radder, please explain or decipher for me. AndyC, what the???

Now back to our sponsor, I hope you guys have a great weekend.

Sorry Ric - I can only understand Roo’s posts after about 6 beers and my new plan limits me to two light (near) beers on special occasions. Fortunately I throw the plan out the window for vacations, which the trip to Bobs is one :smiley:

A week out, and we’re watching the weather closely. It looks like maybe some showers Friday morning (which is OK, because people dont start showing up until the afternoon), and maybe some scattered storms Saturday and maybe early Sunday. I guess that beats 105f like it was last year…
