Engine 51

Been there, done that….twice.

DTE the electric service provider. At least once a week, sometimes more the power goes out. It's usually out no more than five minutes. It is however off long enough to disrupt everything and auto start the generator and then shut it right back down. I have called to inquire what is up with these numerous short term outages and was told there would be an investigation into it....and I would be contacted by a DTE engineer to discuss it. Still waiting on that call. Meanwhile, power just keeps going out....

Yes they do.

It seems to the case more and more. I often wonder what these kind of people are paid for, as stated above, seems you know more about whatever it is you are dealing with than the people whose business it is to know these things. Auto sales people pop to mind.

Thanks for the heads up. Always something…..

Things are not always what they seem. Being former law enforcement, and having a son who is currently a deputy sheriff, I can say that many times department vehicles are wrecked or damaged not by the officers carelessness, but by members of the citizenry being protected. Just last month my son was hit head on while blocking traffic due to a crash. The guy refused to slow down and merge into the traffic being directed around the wreck. This kind of stuff happens all the time. People driving thru police lines set up to protect a scene (whatever that scene entails). That said, yes, unfortunately there are bonehead cops that do stupid things with vehicles. However, that is (at least in my experience) a very small part of the much bigger problem.

For sure….would make for some very long days.

Tho not car/truck models, interesting none the less.

Great job!

Very nice! Built that one years ago.

All aspects of the forum are really slow today. Slowest it’s been for quite some time.

New roof going on today. The tear off is completed and I am advised that 20 new sheets of plywood are needed. Seems the two bathroom vent stacks were not installed properly and that allowed water to work its way into the plywood, causing rot and mold. This jacks up the bottom line quite a bit. That’s the part I could do without, however I’m glad to get the moldy timber off the house, and thankful there were no leaks.

Wonderful!! My kinda rig. Bravo!!

Whole lotta nuthin.

PPG

Will we be required to re-register once the move is complete?

Bob, praying for a full and complete recovery so you can get back at it!

Finally got one. Now I will begin to build the car my son drives every day.

Getting much needed new windows for less than I had budgeted….and they aren’t builder grade windows either?

You could almost put the coaches we use today into the back of one of those. Reverse the rear doors and you have a side loader. Completely unheard of today.

A hearty AMEN!

Wonder why this show never seems to show up on the upcoming events calendar?

Yep. Been that way for quite a while. Not sure how to get goin again?‍♂️

Yep, same here.

Will be getting at least two of the police cars and one of the galaxies. May get a Nova as well. Happy to see these being made available.
