Good Morning All: ED: i think the pictures look nice. Since you are in Mexico I can't imagine why you would have a tank car with "PEMAX" on it. At your age you should be movin' up on the gage ladder, at least to "HO" and maybe to "G". If I didn't have so much invested into "HO", I think "S" would be the way to go. But their just isn't that much available in that scale. I'm too old to start building all of these structures in another scale for a future layout. I bet I've got at least 25 buildings ready to go on the present layout and not enough sidings or space for them. I do enjoy looking at them and I enjoyed building them. Most layouts that I've seen don't have space for big lineside buildings, that's the reason I have almost all of the Sydum and Alpine kits. Big_Girl: As of Friday, I can't get my e-mailer to e-mail anything out and it only receives one or two e-mails a day. I've got to call my ISP and find out what's wrong. Anyway, about the only thngs that we don't eat is bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Supposelly the GI's brought broccoli back from Europe after WW II, they should have left it over there. GOD didn't mean for MEN to eat broccoli. This second cup of tea sure is good. I've got to get all of the switch machines hooked up in the yard and then I can switch without having to do it by hand under the table. I got through soldering all of the wires to the connectors Sunday night and now I have to wire them to the terminal blocks and then get the control switches in. I can't make up my mind weather I like the regular or mini switch. Since space isn't a problem I'm leaning toward the regular as it's easier to find. Big_Boy: From the picture that I've seen of your layout it's about like mine - how are you controlling your switch machines? I thought about the DS54 from Digitrax as I like being able to throw then from the throttle but then someone from across the room can't see how they are thrown and may try to run a switch thrown the wrong way. I had origionally thought about using caboose hobbies ground throws but then you have to be right there and if someone is in the way then you're out of luck. Besides that my Branchline engineer may be operating from outside the layout since that's where the branchline ends. LUPO: How are those trucks doing on the mantle? Don't waste your time repainting them go ahead and use them - after a while you'll get into another problem and wont even see that they are a different color. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
