Nicely written Tramp and Pete. I guess you could say as model railroaders no matter what changes take place out our front doors we are able to create the memories we cherished best and preserve them on our railroads. What satisfaction to be had by walking through a door and you're instantly transformed back to the 30's, 40's, 50's! :D

Jon, exactly!

That's why everybody loves your layout in particular, which is second to none.

Not only to appreciate the wit and the exquisite craftmanship, but because we get 'transported'.

Well, me, anyway.
:D

I,ll bet I haven't ran any trains in over 5 months,,,anyone else find there selves in this kind of rut?
It isn't bad,,,, I aint bitchin' or nothin',,,I'm thankful I can do what I do!

Penn,

I understand.I'm retired but when I was working [high school band director] I never had time to do anything except dream about having a layout.I have one now with very little scenery and do get to run trains now and then.My wife has been having back and leg problems [there have been many others during our fifty four years of marriage] and I do not always get to spend the time I would like with trains but she is more important.

Have fun when/while you can.

[high school band director]

GET OUTA HERE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son just made snare drum on the drumline here at TH North high school!
Man am I pumped! I was a member of that band back in 78-81 (drummer of course) HE ALSO WENT ON TO MAKE THE JAZZ BAND THERE TOO!!!! not that I'm proud of him or anything ya know,,,,,,
I told him, when I was there what a HUGE honor it was just to get to try out for the jazz band because we had a bunch of really great drummers then and they were all good guys too! ( I couldn't play better than any of them!) most went on to play with jazz groups around the country and have done really well!
anyway, summer band has been going now and we just returned from Ransburg Boy scout camp yesterday down around Bloomington Indiana and the good ole' IU campus,so now it's on to percussion work shops for Ethan the rest of the summer,,,,(along with putting up hay him and one of his buddy's at church have decided to do this summer) :lol: :lol: :lol:
He's never done that before!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Penn, congrats to your son on his latest achievement, and to you for bringin' 'im up right.

Huh??? You're not that big of a pr!ck are you?
I (untill the tractor remark) always kinda figured you for more of a inflateable love doll beater kinda guy than a fully rounded "whole a33" not "a33 hole" dude,,,,
I mean after all,,,I've seen pictures of you kid,,,and you're wife,,,and they look like real no kidin' red white and blue shure enough good family to me!
"A33 hloes" and "whole a33'",,,,,,they can't do that!,,,,,,(probably why they've become that ,,,you recon)
Looks to me like you're blessed in that area dude!,,,,,,,,,I'm still kickin' you're *** though! :evil: Never make fun of the Orange, man!
