THERE THE ONES THAT COMPLAIN THE MOST & FIND FAULT WITH EVERYTHING !
YOU KNOW THE ECONOMY TOOK A DUMP HERE FIRST ! MY CUTTING OFF PART OF A HAND WASN`T THE ONLY REASON I GOT OUT OF THE CABINET BUSN ISS> GOT TIRED OF MAKING BEAUTIFUL CABINETS & FURNITURE FOR PEOPLE THAT DIDNT APRECIATE IT OR WANT TO PAY FOR IT

 

One of dads good friends has a small excavating business. His work got very slow and he was low bidding jobs to keep his couple guys working and makinga wage but he wasn't turning much of a profit. Eventually his business came to a halt, almost no work at all unless he skipped maintenance, cut pay, and rushed through jobs. instead of putting his equipment, reputation, and men at risk, he decided to lay them off till work picks up. Now in the mean time he is part of the local teamsters union and is leased out his dump truck and himself to a major project going on in my area. Actuallyalot of guys are turning in their machines for dump trucks and doing the same.

 

That's me.

 

Going To Bed >night All

 

g'night claude

 

OH MATT > WHEN YOU SAID small railroad I HOPE YOU WERN`T TALKING ABOUT AMERICAN FLYER

 

Still up and drinkin matt?

 

NO HE IS CLEANING HIS KEYBOARD AFTER THAT ONE

 

No Claude, even smaller I'm going HO or N scale! Actually its with a class II shortline, about 60 or so locomotives on their roster.

Yeah I'm still up drinkin'! Ran out of Pabst, the Miller is finally cold enough to drink.

 

What Scale Is It That They Use In Zoos <and Stuf Like That
THERE NEAT

 

HO is 1:87 scale. Small but not very small.its about half the size of O scale (Lionel or American Flyer) N scale is even smaller. My model railroad stuff is all in HO scale, easy for me to work with but small enough to make a good sized layout.

 

STILL HAVE MY LIONEL SET FROM 40& 50`s THEY HAD BETTER DETAIL THAN AMERICAN FLYER

 

dad still has alot of his lionels from the 60's, still run well. i remember operating them when i was younger. that is what got me into model railroading.

 

Mine Was The Engine That Ya Put Smoke Pills In >was Pretty Realistic With Lights Of And Just Set Up Lights And Engine Light.
ALWAYS THOUGHT THE AMERICAN TWO RAIL SETUP WITH THE LIONEL ENGINE & CARS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE NICEST SET UP
NEVER LIKED THE DARN THIRD RAIL ON MY LIONEL

 

Yeah the 3rd rail makes it look less realistic, but I like the quality of the lionels more. Dad has a steam engine unit that uses a liquid smoke in it, I remember dummping too much in it when I was younger and smoking up the basement while running it



G'night DTR, I'm out for the night.
