Good Morning All: Did you notice in Ed's pictures that their was no fence around the locos. I like the idea of getting that close with out any restraints, you can see where that darn pipe goes. I've got several pipes on my models that just are here, and I don't know where they go. [4:-)] Fergie: While you were out to sea I was chastinsing Ed about wanting to lay track only once, I glue it down with a solution of 50/50 white glue and water with glasses of water (used as wieghts) on the track to keep it down on the cork until dry. I run for several days (read weeks) and if it is ok then I spike it down. Even after spiking it still comes up easy with a putty knife. I'm going down for a test Sat morning and as soon as I get back I'll give you a call. I'm thinking between 10 and 11 AM TEXAS time which is Central Daylight or Gods time. John: I know you think I heard what you said but I'm not sure that what I heard was exactly what you said as it had to cross a border and that what you said was clear as muddy water. I'm seriously considering bringing my camera with me so you can up-load and then down-load with the jpeg and the img and the ice that goes with the cream - be right back. (Excellent idea here) I've got to go check the fridge for some Blue Bell or Ben And Jerry's for you yankees[:D]. [:(]Mrs. "T" is taking care of me - she ate all of the ice cream last night. I haven't have any ice cream in six months[V]. Paul: It's nice to hear that someone else has to make a list to keep up with the responses. I think that dad's live steamer was in 1/2" scale, as best I remember the track was about 6", He told me, one time, that when he started it that guage was very popular and it fell from favor when the bigger scale started. I thing that the bigger scale was 3/4". Please be aware that dad died 13 years ago and my memory isn't that good. He had all of the running gear and frame done. We could hook an air hose to the steam chest and it would run. I told mom that I wanted it but I couldn't bring myself to go in the garage after he died as he and I had many talks out there and she gave it to the man that she hired to clean out the garage. It was better then six months before I could make myself bring his tools to my house. I just open the first tool box last month and I could still smell the aroma from his garage. Then I had to sit and cry. Tom: How are you and Bill doing with all of the rain? The winds should have died down quite a bit after going that far inland. Well I've got to get Mrs. "T" up so we can go to work. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
