Good Morning All: <br /> <br />Today has started off right. I've been working on the CMR TT for about an hour and I'm in a good mood. The only problem that I've found with this kit is it's all made out of clear plastic and sometimes my distance perception through the optivisor is off a little and I put the glue in the wrong place. It'll be painted grimy black anyway and nobody will see the glue marks. I'm very pleased with the kit so far and would recamend (SP) it to anyone interested in a TT. I know that Fergies scratch TT built will give better satisification later but I can stand the differance. <br /> <br />This darn forum isn't working right today. With two screens open, I can't copy from one screen to the other. One of them doesn't have the bar across the top and the other doesn't have the bar at the bottom. <br /> <br />Why would we want to start over again? Just delete the first 50 pages. <br /> <br />Paul: <br />We saw someone in Canada painting a barn with what looked like a wash gun. He was covering a lot of wall in a hurry. I don't know what the mix on the paint was and how much he lost but it was quick. <br /> <br />When we were in Canada, we paid CN 99.9 per liter which at CN 1.25 to $1.00 converts to $ .799 per liter which converts to $3.03 per gal. <br /> <br />When are you going to ATSF into the coffee shop as we need more Santa Fe people as the wierdies are comming out of the woodwork. Something about CB&Q, FRISCO, ROCK ISLAND, M.E.S.S. and the MT. You know - all of those <i>itte bitty </i>railroads <br /> <br />I thought that this was pertty good "Forget the rest, the Burlington is the best" I like Burlington Vt. too. What's this "Ship <i>It </i>on the Frisco"? What's an IT? <br /> <br />Jim: <br />I thought the saying was "People who live in glass houses shouldn't <i>stow thrones</i>" <br /> <br />I received your pictures from Tom yesteday and haven't had a chance to look at the thumbnails yet. <br /> <br />Fergie: <br />I thought you were going to post the billboard in here so everyone could see it. <br /> <br />I looked a Digitrax on eBay today and the starter sets (new in the box) were selling about $50.00 less then Loy's Toys, which is a good price. When you decide to buy don't waist your time buying a set with the DT300 throttle, the DT400 is so much better. If the Canadan dollar keeps making the good strides It'll cost you less. <br /> <br /> <br />Ed: <br />I've taken some more pictures so I'll be ready They don't look as nice as I'd like so I'm going to take some more. I would take one of the new TT but with it being made out clear plastic you wouldn't see anything. HUMMMMMM - now that would be a teaser. I could just tell everyone how great it is in the caption, and no one would know the differance. <br /> <br />You sure made a lot of progress on your layout while I was out galivanting around the country. That should earn me a handicap of about 6 months. I can take a siesta every day if I have to. The other day I hade to help my brother-in-law clean out his store-all as the junk wasn't worth the rental price. It messed my back up for two days. All I could do was read. <br /> <br />Tom: <br />Sorry to hear about Shawna, but at least she's got a nice refinished bedroom to recoup in. <br /> <br />Did Fergie ask you about those "expensive" finger flickin' switch machines yet? <br /> <br /> <br />I'm going to go back to work on that TT. <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
