Hi Dave,

Hope Veterans Days was as great for you as ANZAC Day was for me this year. I do admire they way the US respects their veterans. We are starting to get there and it is great to be part of the scene.

SVN 1970 - 1971  Australian Army 1968 to 1993. I  quite often think about the US guys I served with in Vietnam during that 12 month period and wonder what they are doing to-day. I hope they are well and they have had many grand children.

Lest We Forget

Regards

Al,

Thanks!

This weekend is actually Memorial Day for us...  Slightly different meaning than Veteran's Day, which for us falls in November.  Memorial Day harkens back to our Civil War.  Veteran's Day got its start as Armistice Day, the end of World War I.  Memorial Day is more about the dead, primarily those that died on the field of battle.  Many people extend the observation to include veterans--living and dead--who survived their service, but such is not the original meaning.

Veteran's Day is not nearly so universally observed in the general population as it is among veterans.

Didnt Guilford letter some of the D&H 424s in MEC reporting marks or am I thinking something else?


Bsklarski, you are correct, but this was long after the MEC yellow era, which to me is the MEC, after that it was Guilford......sub-lettering aside....

I still like the C424. With all that was going on in the 80s, its totally not out of place. I would run them like that

All that remains to finish them is frosting the bathroom windows ...




Just as an experiment, I tried doing this by slipping a piece of waxed paper between the shell and the window glass just to see what it would like like,

I like the results and may just go with it .... certainly was easy.

No trains... setting up inflatable 16' pool.... patching holes....patching holes...you get the drift...

To our US friends, the very best on Memorial Day; all gave some, some gave all.............

158 Canadians gave all in Afgahnistan, five from our city....we will remember them......Our memorial to those that gave their lives in our latest war - The Portraits of Honour......

Not much in the train room...  The big news here was the successful repair of our WWI Memorial Fountain at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge.  It was knocked out by the flooding of Hurricane Isabel back in 2003, and finally back on line in time for the Memorial Day ceremonies tomorrow.

Sa-LOOT!

Nothing much for me this weekend.  We wanted to head out to Luxembourg to visit the American Cemetery there (place GEN Patton was laid to rest) but we decided that 1 day out and back was not worth the 6 hours of driving.  Need at least two days for a proper visit. 

I did finish these last week though:

The one thing I did not have was the proper font for the Great Northern.  I know what it is, but was to cheap to pay the money for the files....  :|






I have more cars that I finished weathering, but haven't posted pics yet.

Hi Dave,

Just had a Geriatric moment. Meant Memorial Day. We have Armistice Day/Remembrance Day on 11 Nov each year. I am the current president of my small sub-branch of the Returned Servicemen's League of Queensland and I conduct services twice a year for veterans and their families.

Regards
