 Good Morning,Brrrrr - it is icy cold outside, - 10 C and going down even further. Seems, as if the weather guesser were right this time with their prediction.Zoe, I´ll have coffee and the big breakfast platter, please!Just as I had coupled my little 0-6-0 steamer to the Diner and began the move to the new track, Bama coupled his GP38 to the other side and pulled the car in the other direction. My little loco did lose a coupler and the rear pilot in the process . Tom (tstage) came to the rescue, but as a result, my little steamer is now banned from MR´s tracks - [sigh]The longer I keep looking at that L-shaped switching layout, the more I start to like it. It will need some work on it to fit into the given space, but despite the lack of continous  running, it offers a multitude of operation possibilities. There are some yet unsolved issues, i.e. how to dock the car float onto the apron, but basically it meets all my expectations. I guess I just have to get going in this direction ...John - that puppy is soo cute. I showed the picture to Petra and she immediately fell in love. Her last dog was also a beagle girl named "Carrot". Sawyer - Rugby is certainly one tough n´ rough a game - watch out for yourself not get some of your bones broken.  I now what I am taking about ...Jim - our plans to cross the big pond are still around, although it will be quite a complex adventure. Getting a green card for the US is close to impossible in our age, and in Canada, you need to be able to invest quite a bit of money and employ local people - not so easy a deed without the necessary funds. I will nevertheless build that layout in such a way that it could be packed up and toted along! Todd - will you please keep all your gems with you? Achooh, I think you already passed it on to me!  The best way to get rid of it is to drink a tall glass of hot wodka, spiced up with pepper - a receipe from cold Siberia! As German Railroad is semi-privatized in view of a planned IPO, the have been economizing on maintenance. The number of derailments is increasing rapidly. Currently, the main line to and from Berlin to the main industrial area is completely blocked, following a series of derailments in the last two days. Damages are estimated to the tune of $ 50 million, for which the tax payer now has to jump in. Unfortunately, the bloke who is in the end responsible for this, cannot be held liable. Have a great day!
