Well I guess its been awhile since I last posted a blog, with the problems we've experienced after Tropical Storm Debbie, and a few other issues, we are finally, (FINALLY), getting back to normal, hopefully we won't see stuff like that again anytime soon, however, with the world the way it is, I suspect!

 I've been on vacation/staycation for the past week, its nice to have a little time of work to pursue other things, oh of course I have plenty of work to do around the house, but I also want to have some fun while on staycation, So I made a trip over to Dana's RR Supply and ran a train, couldn't afford to buy anything, since we were surprised last Saturday that we needed to put a couple of tires on the car, (tires are sure getting expensive these days), and after buying gas, purchasing a locomotive last week, I wasn't doing much of anything else! But I did run a train!

 Here I am again, to offend you with my compelling rhetoric!

 Another report, so you can continue to be offended by my compelling rhetoric!

 Thats right, assuming that this thing works in Safari, because it sure ain't working in IE9, yes, in these two videos, I actually managed to produce two Withlacoochee River Reports in less than a week, and I hope to get back to the weekly program again, as well as other programs I had been working on.

Yes it did, if finally happened, Ben Neal of Subpar Productions finally made it, thats right, he made a Norfolk and Western Class J, No.600 to be exact, and its some of the finest 3D modeling I've seen to date within the Trainz community, while I get into other forms of 3D modeling, especially the female kind, Trainz has been one of my mainstays, over the years I've been playing with Trainz, and technically its still a game, it has provided me with many hours of great fun and satisfaction.

I finally got TS2010, and also finally, after all its updates and service packs, have it working, needed to reset my video card settings, but at least its not an unacceptable slide show!

Todays train is an old favorite, on my Animas Canyon route, the real Animas Canyon is located just north of Durango, Colorado, I have many wonderful memories of that area from when I was growing up.

Last year I had purchased one of the old Atlas Yellow Box RS3's, we all know how great a running engines these Atlas/Kato units were back in the day, that was the days before DCC and making everything run right using electronics, however, when I was giving it its initial shakedown running, seems something gave way, it started grinding its gears and going real slow all of a sudden, Hmm!

Another Saturday, another train sale at Dana's RR Supply, I managed to get my hands on an ABB set of Bachman Plus F7's in the old infamous Santa Fe warbonnet, I managed to spend more than I took in, (way more), my wife has decided she wants an N scale railroad!

Let me introduce you to Daisy, she is a railfan, (a better looking one than I am!), she travels the country, or countries shooting train vids, true she is really only a 3D computer graphics model, but she is my creation, for those who mess around with 3D modeling and computer graphics, and you use either DAZ Studio or Poser, you can get her .pz2 morph file for Victoria 4.2 at sharecg.com.
