I'm really going to retire from custom work this time...7th time I've tried, but I'm done. I wish you and all the family a very Happy New Year. Y'all get some rest now!!!

Excellent. I used to model 0 gauge years ago and won awards at the different train shows I displayed at. Never got tired of displaying toy trains in the shopping malls. There were a lot of people always telling their children that when I was a boy my father brought me a train set.

Very nice! I never was keen with 3 rails. Then one year, (1991) The Lionel Sooline Service Station Special came out and I had to have it. Of course I had to also buy track and a power supply. Already being an H.O. modeler, things got out of hand quickly.

Well... Anyway, I hate you guys!!! on our local news, they showed your beaches full of people in bathing suits on Christmas day. How can that be? Today (the day day after Christmas) we got an inch of snow. It might as well be 1 meter the way people are acting. Be well, my friend!

I do remember you saying that you saying that before. I don't believe it. I think I am going to cook Julie and myself a couple of steaks for New Year's and take it from there. It's our wedding anniversary after all.

If I can only get my wife to go to the store or something. She watches a lot of tv in this room and they are very loud. Other than that, they are fun to watch when running. Lol.

You're right Tom. I started saying that way back about the time we declared that you and Erv would be my baby brothers. LOL! Sue do miss him and Janny and haven't heard from you and Julie in a long time.
Glad to see you still love those trains.
I've often wondered about those handsome young boys you had around back them. They must be about grown now.
I wish you and Julie a very very Happy Anniversary and many many more to come...and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Edit: I really am retiring this time. I tried 6 times. #7 is IT!

Yes! Having some fun with A.I..

Nice layout! There’s just one problem - those engines and cars are just to clean.. scruff them up with some dirt, dust and oil stains and they will look like the real thing.

Lol! Yeah, they are a little too clean, I have to admit. So you don't feel too sad, there are two (1 Sooline and 1 C&NW boxcars) that have had the treatment. You will be happy to know that almost all (I have well over 500) of my H.O. collection are intentionally weathered. Thanks for commenting, Stan.
