Just could not wait any longer to Put Tin on the new FasTrack Shelf Layout!

Great stuff Dave! That room will be so much fun.

George S,

    Got 5" of the white stuff here last night and today, can you imagine my wife actually wanted me to due something other than work on my train room.  It's husband abuse I tell ya.  

What does she think I bought her that Tractor for!

Some of it looks original prewar, & some looks modern prewar. Which is which? Is the engine & tender original?

That's just awful Dave. I feel your pain. It's a holiday weekend, the best time to play with our trains!

George

Eddie G,

   The Gray 263E Engine and Tender are MTH P2, the 800 and 600 series Crane Cars and dumping Flat Cars are original Lionel from the early 1900's, the Islay's Box Car is modern Lionel and the Islay's Tank Car's are modern MTH.  My Brother Kurt has the original Gun Metal Gray 263E work Train at his house, around his Christmas tree.

George S,

   Doesn't the big man upstairs understand I want to work on my new Train Room!  What's with the 5" of snow over the holiday weekend, guess the Lord wanted a White Christmas this year, after all it's his son's birthday!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Trains, a roaring fire, and an open bar... that'll be amazing when you get it finished.

IVES1122,

   Long way to go yet, that is for sure.  A little at a time and it will happen.  Now my storage batteries for the rechargeable DCS HHRC up grade have gone bad, need to run out and get a couple better batteries like WillyGee advised at Walmart,  instead of working on the Bar Top layout that I had  originally set time aside for today.

sounds like your Mrs needs a talking too....you can't be out in this weather!!

trains look great!

What would happen if you would slip and fall, you wouldn't be able to work on the trains. Shame on her

5" ? That's barely enough to shed the high tops for boots. Spring is right around the corner too; run trains and let it melt

Gentlemen,

   All this sympathy and I still had snow removal duty, it was a nice new years eve however.  My best friend and his wife were here we exchanged Christmas gifts as usual, and toasted the new years in.  My wife had a nice evening meal for us and we had a great time.  We ended the evening early and I ordered the 6V 4.5Ah batteries I needed for charging the upgraded DCS HHRC's off the Net, from the Sportsman Guide.  The new batteries should be here in a few days.  

Might just run my Trains for a little while, sip a little Bookers Sour Mash, and fade off to sleep.  It's been another wonderful year, thank you Lord.

Happy New Year everybody!
