<p>Good Afternoon,</p> <p>Zoe, just a cafe au lait and a croissant for me, thank you.</p> <p>Well, I pulled my act together and started working on a new track plan. I had a conversation with Garry about traveling in Europe, where he expressed a strong liking of taking trains in the Swiss mountains, so I took this as a reason to develop an idea based on the famous Bernina-Express of the Rhaetian Railway. This is a narrow gauge mountain line, with gradients up to 7 % , sharp curves - basically all goodies of a toy train layout! The track plan will focus on the Ospizio Bernina station. All the buildings are available as craftsman kits, just don´t ask for the price of them! Bemo in Germany has all necessary locos, EMU`s and cars and Sommerfeldt provides the correct catenary system. Would be a nice project!</p> <p>To give you an idea of what I am talking about, here is a nice <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAiHKoTztyA"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>video</b></span></a></p> <p>Todd - I really like those old cartoons! Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Coyote Sam - I still like to watch them. Unfortunately, there is way too much of that new (expletive, deleted) stuff on TV nowadays and too little of the good stuff - [sigh]. Well, they don´t make ´ em like they used to!</p> <p>Have fun!</p> <p>Edit: I just received a message from Tanzania - well, to sum it up, we won´t be going there. I don´t know whether to be happy or unhappy about this, but still it is sad to be turned down once again [:(] [:'(]</p>
