I think I've had that shirt about 10 or 12 years at least. I have a few other different ones but they have grease on them. LOL

Thanks!

I appreciate you watching. It's a little longe than I normally like to do, but I am glad it is good for backround environment.

Thanks! 1966 283 w/Powerglide

Yeah, I probably should have edited those out. LOL. I appreciate the support and the continued viewing.

Thanks, Drew.

thanks, Mike. it's a fun little switching job if you want to run trains but have limited time.

Danke, Dirk

It would if I took a wall out. The car was around in 1976, so it counts. LOL

Thanks, Dave.

LOL, Bob. They cost more but still not as much as a new car.

I've grown older and wiser. I had to buy a Chevy.

@@FlyingCrow?

@@kcsthebetterway LOL

Neither is true, but the bank owns me now. LOL

Thanks, Pappy. Another reason for you to come back down.

@@FlyingCrow heck yeah, I'd love a neighbor hood cruise in it..

Drive over and see it, John. Then we can run some trains.

You're right. It will cruise to Arkansas easily.

Jason. On his way back to Texas, he needs to stop by Kansas and do the same on the Hope Sub 😊

@@kcsthebetterway gotta keep him busy. He has too much free time...lol.

Thanks, Lee. More to come.

Luckily, I had already bought all of my cotton. Otherwise, I would be in trouble.

@@FlyingCrow Well, you have a few months before planting season I guess

LOL Andy.

thanks, Jerry.

That's what my face looked like.

I'll have to try them.

I actually cut off the little gladhands, so I don't think they would work.

@@FlyingCrow correct, I did that once but remounted them after I started to use the suggested magnets, and never went back

You bet! I will have a backdrop behind the few buildings which simulate a lot of that stuff. It's almost impossible to have a full size paper mill. That could be a whole layout in itself. It might be fun if you want a supersize switching layout.

@@FlyingCrow Well I got two paper mills. One smaller that stands on 3 modules. It's sitting on like 24 sq.ft. The biggest one is in a 10 x 9 room. Takes all of it. It surrounds that room 26 inches from the walls. That huge mill in not finished yet but main design is mostly done. A mix of many building from scratch to Walthers kits and many others. It has pretty much everything a conventional mill has except a pulpwood yard. Cars are coming and go back from a dock on a carfloat. No room for a yard... You're right. A mill to scale is huge. Even the smallest ones are sitting on many acres. We had one in a town near mine for like 40 years. From 1965 to 2005. Most of it was demolished 10 years ago. It would take like 15 to 20 foot long by 8 or 10 foot wide of space to model it. And it was a very small mill. Space is also needed for rails getting into it and getting out in some cases. Storage tracks. I would certainly do it if I had the room. Tip : I'm buying a lot of nice stuff from Goodwood scenics in the UK. VERY nice 3D items from storage tanks, cooling towers, chimnies, fire escape ladders, etc. All coming assembled. Expensive but no kit comes close to custom 3D. Thanks for sharing.

@@lucgagnon5241 Thanks for the tip. I'll look at Goodwood.

Thank you!

I appreciate it. Probably less derailments than KCS actually had in the 70's. LOL. 4365 is actually an MP15. Those were delivered in the fall of '75 with the full handrail. I do have an Athearn blue box SW1500 that is on the shelf right now. I plan on putting the short handrail on it.

Thanks, Bob.

It's waiting.

@@FlyingCrow sweet

Yes, NCE. I have found it's the most user friendly system.

Thanks, Ron.

I thought it did. I pulled it back and forth and it never started up. then all of sudden it did. Hopefully, it was just a dirty spot on the wheels.

@@FlyingCrow got it, crow !!! isn't this dcc stuff different from our younger days ? we owned a 5 generation family drug store and ran trains from thanksgiving to easter, and ran 'em pretty hard !! granddad would have us lube/clean/etc regularly and none of us even thought of dcc !!! i just had a new decoder burn up 2 weeks ago and i could still smell that son of a bitch last week !!! very acrid !!! please keep the videos coming !!! denny

Thanks, Denny. I wish I could say I was retired, but my mortgage company doesn't want me to be. Ha ha. Switching is the most fun there is.

Are annoyed? Good. LOL

It loosely represents the one that was in Pineville. I think it closed down around 2000.

@@FlyingCrow Ah, got it. Thanks

Thank you, John.

Thanks again, Steve. I appreciate you watching.

@@FlyingCrow you're very welcome.

JMRI for my manifests.

??? You mean the uncoupling tool?

@@FlyingCrow I like magnets, either over or under the track. I have a rule no giant hands allowed ( as much as possible )

@@MrRickSteele I have no magnets, just the tool. I wish I had the ones with the lights in them. LOL

Thanks, Jesse. I appreciate the watch.

Thanks for all of your support, Lee.

One day, I'll finish the cotton field and do a video.

@@FlyingCrow "One day" 10 years from now? I still like the idea of harvesting instead of finishing.

@@stevechilders2425 LOL

I did it just to annoy you. LOL

@@FlyingCrow mission accomplished!

@@stevechilders2425 LOL

Thanks, Stephen. It was.

I'm actually going to do a video on the refinery this week.

@@FlyingCrow thats excellent, FC !!! she looks like a real beauty !!!

thank you. Still some work left to do.

What if all the cotton has been picked?

@@FlyingCrow Then you need to plant some more! BTW, if you put a combine (Cotton type) in the field, you would not have to plant the whole field!

That's what you get for not paying attention.

@@FlyingCrow 😁👍🏼

Thanks, Lee.

thanks, Mike. More to come.
