I was going to say, I thought that someone here was in Rochester. I'm living in Tenino right now, planning on staying around here.  We'll have to have a a$$hat west rail-b-que one of these days!

I'll make the A$$hat rail-b-que if you make that bacon wrapped heart attack that I saw someone post on here !!

Bryan, I never thought of it that way. Grand Mound, has a nice ring to it, If they had a post office, I would use that as my address and elevate my social status ~ 8)

I'm here on Lopez Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington State. Nice view of Canada's Vancouver Island, too.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for including me! 

And this was a long time ago, but I just remembered that when our NTRAK clubs combined for a setup at the Treasure Valley Train show in Boise, we called ourselves the Snake River, Puget Sound and Pacific.

Carter, That's exactly what I thought of! SRPS&P. I still have my hat.  :ashat:  Those were some great shows that will live in infamy.

Hey, Loren is here. Good to hear from you!

To our Canadian friends, I'm just starting to design the layout for the Chilliwac Show. Coincidence ? I think not. Stop in and say hello, eh?

Portland, OR
I'm part of a big group of active N scalers in the area that are constantly doing ops sessions and group work nights. Pretty awesome.

MY brother Mario lives in Portland, OR. That's about as close as I get to the Pacific Northwest.


Hmm... if Kiz's waist size
keeps expanding... hey,
I'm just sayin'...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I'm not in that area, but I had a great experience visiting there.  Not sure if Rick Ernst of Portland still lurks here, but he took me around to some awesome layouts, including Rob Carey's blow-mind Tennessee Pass.


 I could have seen more, but many of the round robin group had flown, that's right FLOWN down to northern California for a work session on another guy's layout.  That's a cool work group to be a part of!

I suppose I should check in from a few blocks north of BCR 570 . . .  modeling CP in the late 50s to mid 60s in an urban switching format.

North Vancouver (Deep Cove) resides another N scale layout under construction. I've been away up to the Yukon for close to 8 weeks and just back so time resume the layout work.
Hind sight is always better than foresight, except for lost opportunity costs.
