Good morning!!!!

Prayers for Bird.

I dont venture to the front porch after you had to get a special blessing to sit out there. Nor do i want to venture into the political stuff. I prefer to talk shop out here.

Anyone with advice on removing wallpaper border ? Fortunately not the whole wall. I believe i used the siezing(?) when installed, but won't pull off easy.

Best way to remove wallpaper I've found is to cover it with another layer of drywall or to remove the drywall and reinstall. Probably not the answer you are looking for.

I have been known to paint directly over it. Especially when it's in a mobile home.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Always nice to see what others with some of the same interest have going on.
Just a bit about me, I am retired from Caterpillar since 2009 and we have 8+ acres on the North Bluff above Marseilles IL. about 2 1/2 acres are grass the rest is heavy woods with ravines. Our lane into the property is 1/2 mile long. So there is always something that needs tending to. And every Ash tree on the place is dead or in the process. So there is plenty of work to do. When I am not outside I spend a lot of time working on my O gauge train layout in the basement. Keeps me thinking and the grand-kids love to play with them. I just have to make sure they only run the ones that can be lost. :laughing:
Enough about that. I had better get going, I need to prep the wall above the kitchen sink for some tile work.

I love model trains, but have other hobbies and never got to them myself, I can spend way too much time watching them!

An inch or two of wet snow this morning, then sun and basically all of it melted, thankfully.

Only reason I got back into toy trains was I had a bunch of them from when I was a kid. We never had a place to build a layout till Sandra and I built this place in the woods with a full basement and when I retired I got the ones I had as a kid out and,,,well the rest is history. :laughing: So I asked her if she would rather I spend time and money on the trains or cars and beer. Now you know!!!! :drink:

Did the classic car thing for 35 years, still in it small scale, trains would have been cheaper I think!

Me to lots of early Mustangs, and in 1970 I had a 1969 Shelby GT 350 that I had to let go because of the cost of INS :banghead: Later I had a 1967 GTO for 22 years, Went through it twice, then a 1968 Fairlane with a 428. Some Triumph T-160 Tridents (3) and all kinds of others. Can't afford that today and like I said the grand-kids love the trains, Our layout is about 28'x12' with 4 loops and a MOW track.

I'm not going to try and list the cars my wife and I bought, drove, restored, sold over the years, a few favorites were my '67 ImpalaSS, '68 GTX with Petty Enterprises Hemi, '67 Firebird 400 (1 of 14 I've had) and '65 GTO convertible, 389/360 Tri Power car. But honestly I loved them all, and if I could afford to, I'd own a bunch now. Your trains sound cool, post some pics.

Just a border needs removed.
Wont be necessary to re drywall. I've removed whole walls of wallpaper before, but was 20 yrs ago. I just remember it was a pain.

Thanks don.

Randy,
Yeah I did a lot of buy and flips to. I will try to post a video of my latest creation. A 200 series Lionel B-unit with twin motors, They never made them so I thought why not. Kind of gives you a view of the layout. Not sure but you may be able to see others of it. Anything listed as myssei94 should be of our stuff. I don't want to get off track here or get in trouble for doing train and not tractor stuff.
