Walthers ordering
I see Walthers is at it again. Nice discount on their 1953 Ford Courier ambulance. Was $15.00 NOW $7.98! When you go to order it is "Out of stock". Guess you can sell any thing at a good price if you don't have it. Bought some passenger cars one time, on sale, and after two years of not in stock I finally gave up and canceled the order. They sent reminders if I still wanted them every six months instead of letting me know they (evidently) were not going to carry them any more. They still don't list them.
OP Session on the BNML - January 16, 2016
Another OP Session was held on the BNML this weekend.
Rico, Ian, and Ian's father 'Zee' all made the trek south in the bitter cold to spend a day working my layout, and a day they did spend!
Shift start was scheduled for 1pm. Rico was running a little late, but called ahead to stake his claim on the BNSF job in Noyes. Ian and Zee arrived on time and after a short tour for Zee they were set loose on CN 532, which was waiting for them in Morris.

I subscribed almost four weeks ago and have enjoyed both the e-zine and the message board immensley. I do have one problem however. If I'm not careful, I could spend all my hobby time on this site and not leave any time for modelling!

Okay.........a new week, a new year.
Show us your modeling skills and handy work...............highly polished works of art to works in progress.
Merry trainmas!
This is the what did I get for Christmas for my layout thread. The above Blair Line kit was waiting for me, which is 1 end of my next 2 modules. (A steel mill end will be the other one).
Listen to Joe Fugate on Lionel Strang's podcast, "A Modelers Life"
Spotted this today:
Episode 40: Joe Fugate -
It’s time for our annual state of the hobby address with Joe Fugate, editor and publisher of Model Railroad Hobbyist. I was sure we’d been doing this for several years but Joe was convinced it was only our second time.
We covered all sorts of interesting subjects and Joe was an excellent guest as always.
So sit back with a steaming hot bowl of cookie dough ice cream and enjoy Episode #40: Joe Fugate.
Everything old is new again
I'm building a layout after a quarter century hiatus from model railroading. Life got very busy for a while and I didn't have the time to deal with maintaining or building a layout. Now I'm older and things have slowed down and I have a new granddaughter. Some of my favorite memories as a child where running trains with my grandfather. He always took the time to explain how things worked on the model railroad and taught me how to use tools. I want to do the same for my little granddaughter.
The Industry is the Hobby
The Industry is the hobby.
MRH has shown me that this is one of the most cooperative and friendly hobbies and industries out there. Many of the small companies that make the products we like have owners that have been life long friends and a train show is actually also a reunion. And they are almost all active modelers.
A simple post in MRH about a technical issue will result in a dozen helpful responses with shared information and new modelers are encouraged and not looked down on as far as I can tell.
