Lunchtime, Folks! Zoe, I´ll go for a couple of chili dogs, a plate of fries, and a RBF to go with it. Brought some friends along, just to say hello! <img src="http://freespace.virgin.net/mayfair.news/Punks.JPG" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> They are just a tiny bit different than Bill´s friends [;)] Following a little discussion with my friend, I was able to put the finishing touches to the track plan. We were able to pin down region and era, which now is 1920. The layout is (very) loosely based on the Prescott, AZ branch of the AT & SF, so he will have to look for the appropriate motive power for it. I am thinking of a 4-4-2 to handle passenger and mixed trains, and a 4-6-0 or 2-8-0 to handle the local freight train. There is not much around of that in the market, so we will look for some used brass locos - any idea, where to look for, other than Caboose Hobbies? I did some tweaking of the plan, like changing the radius of the curve on the northern part from 18" to 22", narrow the shelf on the left side and incorporate a 1-stall engine house. I am not really happy with the switchback operation serving the Wheaton´s Feed spur, but that may be resolved once construction commences. Heck, I wish I could build this one. We received the annual account statement for energy and I have to pay an additional Euro 167 for the year´s consumption [:O] Don´t know, where to get that kind of money from - my "strategic" reserve is pretty much depleted [*-)] Well, here is the plan (pre-final?) <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ATSFDRYGULCHBRANCH2.jpg?t=1286989138" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> You all have a good one!
