Good MOrning All: Yesterday was a good day - I got six sections of track and three switches laid. Ed, I'm on a tear and am going to catch you. I've got stuff all over the layout and decided to turn it on and listen to the steamers, it took me 40 minutes to find the short and pick up the tri square. I pulled a Fergie yesterday and re-wired one of the staging yards, yes, this time I used a terminal block to make trouble shooting easier. I have the left side of the upper loop in and ready to go but the 3:00 AM solution required a 28/32 curved turnout on the right and Papa Ben's doesn't have one so that means going to the mail order houses. I'm just about ready to paint the turntable as I've done just about all the damage to it I can. Jim: GET RID OF THE BRASS TRACK I can't emphasize that enough. It's nothing but a pain in the neck and also a pain a little lower. Nickel/silver is so much better. If you like doing track maintence then brass is the way to go. It'll make you very happy and give you job security. I'm using Walthers and Atlas code 83 and am tickled to death with them. I use Walthers switches and Atlas track. John: I haven't seen any recient pictures of what's going on out on Sober Island. How is Rosie-the-dog? I bet she doesn't want to go outside when you don't have to. Ed: I'm hoping to get the second level done this week but it depends on the mail order of the switch. Robert: I sent you an e-mail with my phone numbers. If you call the office phone it is almost always forwarded to my cell phone. Well I'd better get ready for church Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
