Good Evening All: The LHS was very enjoyable. Mrs. "T" came and got me after 1 1/4 hrs, she ran out of something to read. Sure enough I walked into the train room with the new Bi-polar bulbs and decided to put them in the parts box, I open the second drawer to put them next to the 12 volt bulbs and their were the old two packs of bulbs. NEVER FAILS. Jwaldo: I have Bowser cars and all of the doors are glued on. Many of the cars that I've scratch built have the doors glued on. In 50 years I've never had anyone try to get the doors to slide. take John's suggeston and use a piece of styrene or basswood and glue the guide in. I get upset if someone picks up a car with out asking first. MNost people don't expect the doors to move anyway. Give it a try and if they come off, next time use silicone. That will get you 18 months down the road. Paul: I like your basement, I have an N scale in the garage but it's always been sticking out in the way. Their was a post about where your layout was and basement was one of the places. I said, "TEXAS - basement - a hole in the ground filled with water, if outside, commonly called a swimming pool." John: Tomorrow I'm going to dig out one of my power packs and hook the wires up to a 3' piece of track and try to get the loco to run. I don't want to be to embarresed when I get there. Don't buy any trucks for my benefit, it can run empty. When I had a chance to see a grinding car in action I was impressed as to how fast they moved down the line, and how rough the track was afterward. I like the scenery in your pictures. Noah: You did feel good at the end of the trip thou didn't you, just knowing that you completed it. The arms will get better - wait until the first time you do 26 miles of white water in one day. You'll have no trouble sleeping even with the sore muscles. Ed: I ask Tom at Papa Ben's for your phone number today - I thought I'd give you a suprise call. He said "I don't know, it's not in the computer but here's his e-mail". So they may ask for your phone number the next time you're in there. Fergie: Be careful if that doc says bend over and you hear a latex glove snap. In 1965-6 (?) I had the pleasure of working on three of the Statin Island Ferries as they were built in Orange Texas. I wanted to go on the delivery trip but so did everyone else ( I had very little seniority) so I had to drive all the way to NY to see them in service. But I did get to walk the kids around as we were sailing across to Manhatten. It was "down memory lane" for me and an awe experience for them. Lupo: I'm in the same camp with Fla/Phil, I can take anything apart as long as I have a box to put all of the EXTRA peices in when I put it back together. I honestly think that these parts multiply when left to themselves at night. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob Fla/Phil: I had a '51 Hudson (the first car I had that would run over 100MPH) it was great to run with the window vent turn back and you got all of that wind - it was BETTER then AC.
