Good Morning All: The AC was on again last night. When I went to bed ay half time the Cowboys were ahead, but according to Ed this morning it was a squeeker. It's a sign of age when you can't stay up late enough to see the whole game. Buy I was up at 5:30 to feed the birds and get the tea water warming up. Fergie: Have a safe trip and I hope that you will be along side for Christmas. Just out of courisity, do you have any guns on your ship? Jim: When I started this layout I had ordered a full box of flex track, six boxes of cork and a handfull of switches. I started out just laying just the mainline to get something running and then came back and laid the yard. I'm just getting around to laying the second loop as I got cought up in train running with the first one. This loop has the switch that leads off to the branch line so now I will be able to start it. If you HAVE to use the brass put it in the front where it will be easy to clean and try to use as much nickel silver as possable. I don't advise waiting to start as that seems to never get done once you start procrastanating. You might want to think about a "test track". For me it was a 1" X 12" X 15' board sitting on shelf hangers. This gave me a grade, switching possabilities with several switches and a chance to see if I wanted to go with cork, milled roadbed, or handlaid ties. Also it was a place to try out the decodered locos before putting them on the layout. I used it until I was about six months into this layout. I still have it out in the garage, don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I might give it to someone interested in starting a layout. It was a nice test area as I tried several "new to me" ideas. Robert: Your dad will be in our prayers. What is your phone number? John: If you want some more blood on your layout - Fergie is going to sea and might be in Sheet harbour for a while Ha Ha Ha, so he can donate. Wait while I stop laughing. After all you do have a knife to open him up and a soldering gun to close the wound. Just picking, Fergie. I'm feeling pretty good as I haven't dropped any solder in my lap now for about three weeks, but God will get even for the last statement and I'll have to be careful for awhile. Jim/Jim: Now with two Jims, what are we going to do? Well Stephanie tells me that it's time to go to work so I guess I'd better get dressed Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
