    I second that,it does look great.Really like the paint work.

    Yea,it’s kind of sad.The guy said he tried for a long time to keep the place going,and the lights on,however like I said,he had stated that he’s not healthy,most of the club members have passed away,or moved away…And your right,it would be a huge undertaking to pack up and move the entire collection.Not sure it’s something I really can do at the moment after all.,but will see..As I said,he wants to sell the whole the place at one time..For me,it was just really cool seeing the place.Ive loved trains since I’m a kid.I do normally collect HO scale,but seeing everything he had was still great.Just like a kid in a candy store.🤣

    Well let’s see,the PO sits on a package of mine for three days this week.I see it’s coming out of Jersey,and I’m in NY,so I’m thinking I might get it pretty quick.Then all of a sudden there’s movement.Yea,the movement was from NJ to TX.Are you kidding me…why?🤷‍♂️🥴🙄😖I could’ve probably picked up in Jersey,it would’ve been quicker.Now I’m looking at next week sometime.🤬That’s all I’m saying.

    All hail the great Hemi.👍👍.

    I gotcha,yea it was just weird,I drove past the place a million times,and this time I decided to pull in.I would never have guessed he had so much.I’ll keep u posted.

    Yea,like I said,there was a whole other section with just trains.Some boxed,some loose.It was crazy seeing what this guy had.The $5 grand price,includes a lot,but not everything.He actually wanted $15K for the entire collection.As I said,he’s an older man,and not in good health,so who knows what will happen.There was so much stuff,I couldn’t believe it..I told him to maybe have an auction.He said he was thinking about doing that.And as far as a website,that’s a negative,I do not have one.

    I was driving around running some errands yesterday,when I came across an old model RXR club/museum.I wasn’t sure if they were still open.I pulled up to the building and noticed an elderly gentleman outside.I asked him if the museum was still open,since the sign was still up.He informed me that he had closed the museum about five years ago,because he was suffering from cancer,and most of the club members had either moved away,or passed away.He stated that the giant(Lionel) layout was still up,& sort of running..This is a lousy picture of the outside of the museum’’s building,(sorry bad photo)And the entire thing was for sale.This is some of what he showed me(there were a lot of other boxed up trains in another room for sale as well).I was just blown away.He's asking around 5K or so for everything.I do believe I may have two friends of mine,along with myself,that might make the investment.🤞I hope..

    Absolutely incredible.What a true craftsman.His builds are amazing.Great stuff.I wish I could have even just a bit of his talent,not to mention,the room for everything.Lol.Thanks for sharing.

    Yea,thank you for the advice.Actually the only reason why we replaced all the freeze plugs,was my friends “ stoopid” decision.I just said to replace the one.I left out the fact that my radiator was mud,😖.I never checked the fluid when I bought it.And forgot to drain and replace the fluid.Again sir,I thank you for the information.

    Freeze plugs….I somehow blew a freeze plug in my Jeep.🤷‍♂️.Anybody replace a set of freeze plugs?I know freeze plugs are not normally a part of an engine that needs to be replaced.And if they do need to be replaced,most times they are replaced with the engine out of the stupid car.But that’s not an optioon for me..I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee,straight six.My buddy and I got them out but that took forever,and now we are having a lot of trouble getting all of them back in.Even with a freeze plug tool I got from Summit racing.I know we have to remove part of the exhaust,but that’s easier said than done.Anyway again,I was just wondering if anyone has replaced their cars freeze plugs,and might have some advice. I Thank you

    Yes,I thought so too.Its gets dark,the birds are quiet,with the exception of a seagull or a crow.But I’m telling you this thing has been pecking away day and night,it seems.Just late last night,it finally took a break,& stopped,thank God.Anyway,how big do Woodpeckers get?And I always thought that they making the tree their homes.

    Sounds like my carpal tunnel syndrome surgery that I had about three years ago on my right hand.The surgery was a complete failure,and a waste of time.My hand hurts even more since I’ve had the surgery.And now everytime it’s the least bit cold out,my hand is completely numb.Advice to anyone contemplating about having this done…Think twice,and don’t.

    Pretty frighting stuff to say the least.Hmm,🤔I knew there was a reason I hate to fly,I mean you have no control of this piece of tin traveling a few hundred miles per hour.And why I haven’t been on a plane since 2008,when i flew to Miami with my EX girlfriend,and I know how that trip ended up.🙄Some people are going to lose their jobs over these incidents..Hey,I’m sure being both an airline pilot,and an air traffic control are very stressful jobs…. But come on.
  15. NYLIBUD
    Sure hope you feel better.👍👍

    No i know,I’m not really going to kill the bird.I can’t even see it,I just hear it.Not to mention,I wouldn’t start shooting a crossbow near my neighbors house.No,I’d like to,but I was joking.However,it continues to peck away out there,even now,at 2 am my time.I just happen to be up doing some work on my bike,can’t sleep.And I’ll tell ya,this little guy sounds like a nail gun.He must want something in that tree..Thank you though for the tip sir.🐦🙉

    Lots of nice rides.👍
  18. NYLIBUD
    Great show today at a local Millers Ale House..Free admission,a really good band,good food,and of course some great looking rides.I gotta say,the green and white NYPD car was my favorite.I just love police cars.And I love the Al Pacino dummy in the back seat.🤣🚨

    I go through the same thing,trying to keep my beard trimmed short,but not too short.And yea Wahl has some great shavers.Thats usually the brand I use.👍👍
  20. NYLIBUD
    Ah,I gotcha,thanks for the info.I mean the tree appears to be healthy,but who knows.But if I see the thing,I’m going to try to take it out.🤷‍♂️😵
  21. NYLIBUD
    So i’ve got Woody the Woodpecker tapping on a tree right outside my window.All day and night,this stupid little bird just keeps pecking away.I never realized how loud they can be.Id like to take the thing out with my bow,but I can’t see it,I just hear it.🤬🫨
  22. NYLIBUD
    Pretty crazy lookin.
  23. NYLIBUD
    I saw this rare,and somewhat similar Dodge PU at a show last week.
  24. NYLIBUD
    That is one crazy hauler.Very cool.👍👍
  25. NYLIBUD
    So I think it’s worth mentioning that Dickey Betts,80, the longtime guitarist from the Allman Brothers Band has died after some health issues,(cancer) this according to his family.RIP Dickey Betts.I saw them twice in concert,they were great.👍👍
