Roy,

          Congratulations!  That is great layout with an article to match!  I saw that you are an Electrical Engineer.  Makes me feel better about majoring in Electrical Engineering.  Now, I might have a shot at doing something that I like with my degree after I graduate!  Cogratulations again.

Yes, wonderful things seem to happen to people who are OTTS members.  Then again, it is sad how those who don't qualify for membership because they live in places like Roseyville, NC, and always seem to have engine fires, transformer fires, boats that sink, luggage damaged, flights cancelled, etc., etc., etc.

The only reason you made Roy an OTTS member is because none of you YANKS have the brains to wire things.  Wanted to upgrade your image.  Roy is a REBS member and will say so.  He lives DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS. Tongue [:P]Wink [;)]  BTW: I've seen him drink sweet ice tea. Approve [^]

Roy, congrats!  It is great to see one of our own forum guys do good and get the "Thattaboy".  I have not received my latest CTT yet, but certainly will once it makes it's way to GA.

Hi guys! Thanks. I have been cut off from the internet the past week due to the Comcast to Time Warner conversion and upgrades. I have also been very busy with looooong hours finishing up another major project.

Congrats. I know how rewarding such a project can be, especially when you see the kids' faces light up. Even if the kids are 70 years-old.

I know how much fun it can be because the last several holiday seasons I have volunteered my time to help run the huge 750 sq-ft Clark Dunham-designed multi-scale (O & HO) layout  -- "The Station at Navy Pier" -- that spent time in NY before being purchased by Navy Pier and brought to Chicago.

It is usually open from early December to one week into the New Year and is seen by hundreds of thousands attending the free admission Christmas Fair at Navy Pier. It can have as many as 40 trains running on it simultaneously.
