My wife joined me for this annual pilgrimage to this train show. I had a great time seeing some old friends and meeting up with some manufacturers. They had moved building this year because the old building was torn down and rebuilt. To me it seem like a smaller show and not as many people, maybe a larger area so everybody had more room , I don't know.<br />
<br />
Ran into my friend Joe Steimann who owns Weathering Solutions http://www.weatheringsolutions.com/ at their booth. They make some great weathering decals for people check them out. We caught up on some small talk and he showed me some things he is working on. I purchased this new graffiti set from him, always looking for something cool <br />

Next stop was Soundtraxx Booth, nothing new. Talked to them about the new Economi decoder and found out the difference. I guess Im sticking with Tsunami until the next generation become available, from what they said it in the works, will see how long this takes.<br />
<br />
Checked out InterMountain Booth and talked to them about the new FWWR SD40-2 and when they might be available , they were hoping very soon.<br />
<br />
Went by Spring Creek Booth and purchased some new ExactRail cars for me.<br />

I really like these highly detailed cars. I may start selling off a bunch of cars that I don't need and start replacing some with these kind of cars. <br />

Operated on some new layouts for me and meet some new friends.<br />
<br />
I traveled to Decatur, TX to operate on Dean Ferris's Oregon Joint Line for the morning session. This is a large N-Scale layout located in a room above his garage.<br />
<br />
Description:
<br />
<div class="field-content">
The Oregon Joint Line is a
joint NP/GN mainline through the mountains and canyons of eastern
Oregon connecting the Pacific Northwest with California. The layout,
which is set in 1969 just prior to the BN merger, has plenty of pool
power from the connecting California roads (WP, SP, and ATSF). Most
heavy trains (freights are typically 22-28 cars long) receive helpers
for the shove up the 2.2% grade to the summit at Snowline. A forest
products shortline, the "Oregon & Northeastern", switches the Hines
Lumber pulp/plywood complex and makes log runs out to Canyon Reload. The
major terminal area has three yards (NP, GN, and the O&NE) with
plenty of transfer/interchange activity and industrial switching.<br />
<br />
Ran a couple of trains and learned to use track warrants for the first time. I was having too much fun operating, that I didn't take a lot of pictures here are a few.<br />

Been slow with other things to do but some changes are being implemented. In Sept went to the St Louis RPM meet and had a blast, but being a 10 hour drive had lots of time to myself reflecting on what going on with the layout. I have been dragging my feet on getting the final peninsula added.<br />
<br />
I just wasn't happy with the Brewery part of the layout, great industry but from a operating aspect a logistical nightmare, huge peninsula, hard to reach a lot of the tracks, just a giant pain in the ass. So after working on the trackplan came up with some changes. I got rid of the brewery and added track work from across the tracks, might add the brewery as a backdrop scene.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFhTXs6KInyx3sd6aX9ag7h-qSHcDjdgvNGVaXASSxo0QtWEJcNkF7nNQN7YmKfu0CBqfFrt1XR8QiRJcKJDQkXl7RwoZYbY6upL30CpVY5aGGHuT6vav5aLcUQA0jmBEUrHBVDhVcRt4/s1600/IMG_1156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
Updated track plan:<br />

So let the demolition begin. started by removing all track work in effected areas and removed peninsula that was changed:<br />

This past February I spent the weekend up in Tulsa OK at there annual Operations Event. This made me realize I really need to get off my butt and get back to working on the railroad even a little bit.<br />
<br />
So after cleaning off the railroad a little bit of painting was done. Makes a difference to the layout now looks like soil instead of the ceiling tiles.<br />

Wednesday I drove down to the <span data-scayt_word="FWWR" data-scaytid="1">FWWR</span>
main office at Hodge Yard. After going into the office and talking to
some personnel about my situation and was able to talk to a dispatcher.
He took a couple of minutes to answer some questions I had about the <span data-scayt_word="Everman" data-scaytid="3">Everman</span> area. The <span data-scayt_word="FWWR" data-scaytid="2">FWWR</span> had created a small office down there so crew could pick up paperwork for the day.<br />
<br />
Here it is:<br />

Nothing like using a electrical box for a office.<br />
<br />
I was
told there were three basic jobs down there. First job he called a
Hustler, take cars to Hodge Yard and returns with any cars for customers
at <span data-scayt_word="Everman" data-scaytid="4">Everman</span>. Second comes on duty in the afternoon and starts switching job at <span data-scayt_word="Everman" data-scaytid="5">Everman</span>. The last comes on duty that evening and finishes switching jobs.<br />
So I went down to <span data-scayt_word="Everman" data-scaytid="8">Everman</span> to see if I could chase it around.<br />
<br />
Arrived at the yard around 3:00 pm just as Switch Job was departing yard track 707, power for today was 2011 (<span data-scayt_word="GP50" data-scaytid="12">GP50</span>), 2001 (<span data-scayt_word="GP38-3" data-scaytid="13">GP38-3</span>) and 2007 (<span data-scayt_word="GP38" data-scaytid="14">GP38</span>):<br />

It consisted of 8 cars, 1 reefer and 7 boxcars. I'm assuming that they had already
sorted their cars for for the work they were about to do, which was to
switch <span data-scayt_word="Wirlpool" data-scaytid="15">Whirlpool</span> and Ben E <span data-scayt_word="Kieth" data-scaytid="16">Kieth</span> Warehouse. They shoved these cars to passing siding track 749 then took the switch to enter this area. Crossing the West Will Rodgers road crossing to start the work for Whirlpool:<br />

.<br />
<br />
Work for Whirlpool:<br />
<br />
1. Contact <span data-scayt_word="Wirlpoot" data-scaytid="17">Whirlpool</span> to open roll up door so they could remove cars.<br />
2. Took Whirlpool lead and p/u 2 cars in warehouse, take to Whirlpool run around and drop.<br />
3. Pushed 8 cars to warehouse, leaving 7 box cars inside warehouse.<br />
4. Uncoupled reefer from box cars, work completed.<br />
5. With work finished contacted <span data-scayt_word="Wirlpool" data-scaytid="18">Whirlpool</span> and roll up door was closed.<br />
6. Returned to run around with reefer and coupled up to cars pulled from <span data-scayt_word="Wirlpool" data-scaytid="19">Whirlpool</span>.<br />
7. Uncoupled cars and ran around train to connect to other end of this three car train.<br />
<br />
All this took approximately 1 hour, after this they went to switch Ben E Keith.<br />
<br />
Work for Ben E Keith:<br />
<br />
1. Now they pushed train to Ben E Keith, pushed past switch to drop 2 boxcars:<br />

Sorry folk, I know a little late to the program. It's been a little quite on the Everman Branch. Not much to tell, I've been doing a lot of Honey do's for the wife and family visit has taken up most of the winter. Now that much of the work is complete I'm hoping for some major changes to the layout.<br />
<br />
This past weekend traveled to Tulsa, OK for the 5th annual Layout Design and Operations Weekend. I was able to meet up with some old friends and meet some new ones. Friday afternoon was able to go by Ken Ehlers Sn3 layout, this is a great narrow gauge layout.<br />

I finally bit the bullet and update my Digitrax system to Radio Control, bought a DT402D throttle, UT4D throttle and UR92 panel receiver. This is a huge thing to me as I'm a cheap SOB. So now instead of messing with my old throttle I am finally able to run trains quickly and easily.<br />
<br />
I also purchase as GP40-2 from a guy from the http://dieseldetailer.proboards.com/ site I belong to. He had been working on RMPX 6411 which was sold to the FWWR. I worked out a deal with this gentleman and with some work will be the next locomotive to work on the layout.<br />

This area will cover the following industries: Everman Paper, Ft Worth Lumber, Delta Steel and Green Bay Packaging. <br />
<br />
I also started to lay track for the Miller Brewery leads.<br />
<br />

<br />
The peninsula will be added when this track work and basic scenery is done. The peninsula will be a large blob approx 60" x 60" so working on this area will be tough. This will have a few leads for switching that include: tank car unloading, grain car unloading, plastic car unloading and the warehouse.<br />
<br />
Track work continued around the corner towards the above area, hope to have all track down by this weekend.<br />

On the 13 of July I got a huge surprise for my birthday, 3 of my 4 children and there families came to TX to help celebrate me making it to 50. I also was able to talk to my son station in Okinawa, Japan serving in the USMC. Its been a long time getting all my family together now that everybody has become adults and left TX, been trying to convince the wife of the same thing but no bueno. Anyway let get an update on the layout since the last time.<br />
<br />
Track work has proceeded, most of the yard is laid:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I ended up removing most of the old benchwork to be able to redo it following the new plan. In the past people have asked me the sequence on my bench-work so here goes.<br />
<br />
Attach double slot bracket to wall and attack appropriate shelf:<br />

Been a while since I update this blog so here goes. Over the past couple of months been working on the new revision of my Everman Job layout. With the acquisition of my youngest boy's bedroom a new layout has been designed and construction has commenced.<br />
<br />
I tore out old portions of the layout to make way for new revision. I'm trying to reuse most of the existing layout around the wall. A hole was cut into new room for pass thru for new yard.<br />

This entitles removing all track and redoing all the peninsulas. But this plan improves what I was trying to do all along. Let the destruction commence.<br /><br />rwsnyder2002http://www.blogger.com/profile/08913448347938659855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888155681119230253.post-85477169781875167522012-06-28T13:20:00.003-07:002012-06-28T13:20:40.487-07:00First scenery deliveryBeen a busy month. My youngest graduated from high school and has just left for boot camp in CA to become a Marine. Its weird to have all 4 of my children out of public school and starting there young lives. After making a couple of purchase from both Arizona Rock and Scenic Express I have some scenery supplies.<br />

After talking about my layout to them they said that they had one of the latest FWWR engines. I was under the assumption that Athearn had done the graphics incorrectly. But low and behold they had done them write. So after working out a deal I purchased this:<br />

Now if Athearn could only get the details rite it would be fantastic. Only things that I need to add are Tsunami, couplers, replace the cab , nose, battery box's, and other misc details. Well maybe I will get to this soon and get it off the self.<br />
<br />
As for the layout working on drawing up building plans so construction can begin and scenery started.<br />rwsnyder2002http://www.blogger.com/profile/08913448347938659855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888155681119230253.post-67631359781404091412012-04-23T14:25:00.002-07:002012-04-23T14:25:51.967-07:00April ChangesWell been a busy month but not as much done as I had hoped.

I've run some trains and ran into a couple of Operating problems with my yard and after looking at some photos that I had taken I decided to move the peninsula that RTP was on. Here is a photo of the prototype:<br />

This addition will give me the room to better represent this industry. The tank unloading tracks will move a couple of inches to the right so the area between the siding has some room, trying to compress the area I had made the tracks too close together this new space will be much better. I will also be able to model the storage tanks and the building better as shown:</div>

On March 23, I went to Tulsa OK for the Layout Design & Operations Weekend. Thia is the second OPP till you drop event I have ever been to, rewarding and now motivated to get things going on my layout. I'm tired, but had a blast. On Friday night I operated on Jim Senese's Kansas City Railway. Jim's interest is urban railroading in KS. The KCT represents 4-1/2 miles of railroads in the West and East Bottoms of Kansas City. We ran in two man crews for about 3 hrs. Saturday was the Design Workshops all day including 2 presentations by Lance Mindheim. As a bonus Lance used my plan in his Designing a switching Layout presentation, He is one of many who help me with the plan and I thank him. Saturday night Opp session was at Sammy Carlile's Hereford Sub. I meet Sammy couple of years ago at the MCPM Meet in KS and have become friends. Sammy's layout is a double deck layout in his garage. Its Santa Fe mainline from Amarillo, Tx west to Clovis, NM. Also at his house was a few other friends so we all had a great time. Sunday morning operated at Tom Fausser's Central New Jersey & Lehigh Valley. This layout is set in Hoboken / Jersey City New Jersey. His layout uses car floats and is heavy industry. I had a great time and everybody was very warm and friendly. Looking forward to getting things running again at home.<br />

The following weekend the wife and I traveled to Collage Station for Parents Day. My daughter is a junior at A&M and is also in the Aggie Band. The highlight of the trip was when she got here senior boots. At the band banquet she also received an award for most outstanding Junior. Cant believe it was a little over 3 years ago she was graduating from high school and next year she will be graduating from collage. Time flies when you have kids.rwsnyder2002http://www.blogger.com/profile/08913448347938659855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888155681119230253.post-79834324605606753982012-03-14T13:08:00.001-07:002012-03-14T13:08:44.405-07:00RoadtripThis past weekend had to run to Ft Worth for a NMRA meeting and had a chance to run by the FWWR Hodge Yard for a photo opp. Last December I heard that the FWWR had purchased 3, GP40-2's from NRE. I caught the first one last December at Hodge Yard, FWWR 2020. This unit is ex NREX 4631, originally SCL 1536 a GP40.<br />

From what I understand these three units will be repainted into FWWR color's in the spring. As per the usual these units will receive names but I have no idea what they will be. Would like to recreate these units for the layout with this current paint scheme, I like the uniqueness of the schemes.<br />
<br />
Also while at the yard heard a horn blow and relized that they were creating a train and got some overhead shots of 2001 and 2002.<br />

After the meeting was over I went by Everman to get some more phots of Mrs Bairs Warehouse and take a look at this structure so I can start building it. Hope to start this weekend. Also had the Granson in town and was able to run some trains with him.
