Good Morning, Bill - no friends with you today? Good Morning You All! It is a foggy autumn, with temperature just short of freezing - brrrr! Have to think about getting my tires changed to the fur-lined winter version. I am glad the Renault came with a full set of brand new winter tires, so I need to spend only a little on getting them changed. Flo, a mug of coffee, please - nothing to eat, yet, as Petra is starting to prepare lunch. Sam - that´s a nice picture, showing how proud you are to be a real "hogger" [tup] Chris - still in a sour mood? While working in Poland, I heard a saying that life is like a roll of toilet paper - long, gray and full of "manure". Don´t let ´em get you! Ray - whenever you write about your granddaughters, I get a little jealous. I guess I am starting to be in the right age to be a grandfather, but I doubt that I ever will have any. My son´s GF has strictly no opinion of having a child, an for the time being, my son is following her on that opinion. She is a nice person, but for that reason I´d like my son to look for a "better occasion". I did some w*rk on the track plan this morning, just a little tweaking here and there. I moved the access to the Saguaro Liquors Co. spur to the town on the right, giving me a clearer break between the two locations. I also changed some switches from # 6 to # 4 to gain some extra inches on the lead to the cassette staging. It is still only 18" now - I´d feel more comfortable to have a minimum of 24" there. I may also incorporate an engine house near the turntable - well, we will see. Here is the updated version: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ATSFDryGulchBranch1-3.jpg?t=1286876683" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> A rough calculation showed, that it will cost about $ 2,000 (it´ll be $ 1,500 in the US) to build this layout - and that´s for benchwork, roadbed, trackage and a simple DCC system alone - no locos, no rolling stock, no buildings and scenic materials. Whew! Have a good day!
