Good Morning All: <br /> <br />It's been a hecktic last couple of days. A good friend of ours died after going into diabetic shock and having a heart attack. That's more incentive for me to get back on my diet as my blood sugar has been between 130 and 150 the last couple of weeks. I sure hate taking a pill every day but it beats the alternative. <br /> <br />The upper loop is comming along nicely, the left side is almost done and the curved switch for the right side came in yesterday so this Sat should see the completion of the main line. Then the train running can start in ernest. Both staging areas are done so now I can do all kinds of things. As posted earlier "strange things happen when trains go out of sight", I've heard about one train running into another one because the operator didn't know that their was already a train on that siding. <br /> <br />The turntable is ready to paint. When I get it done I'll post some pictures. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Rex Heacock (rexhea) bought one at my suggeston and I'm impressed with the way his looks. It's strange sometimes how fate works - just as I was tring to figure out what colors the paint this thing, lo and behold someone ask MR about colors on a TT. <br /> <br />Fergie: <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Fergmiester</i> <br /><br />Good Evening All <br /> <br />...Well Bob I hauled the Digitrax out of the box this evening set the test track down on the deck and started to play. It took me half a hour to get the engine running and an it did! <br /> <br />I'm still going through the manual and I suspect it will take me a couple of days playing with the unit before I am comfortable with all the options. <br />..[/quote] <br />You are very optimistic it still suprises me after nearly three years. I am impressed that you got a loco running that quick. Let me know if you need help, between Tom and I, we should be able to cover all of the bases. <br /> <br />Robert: <br />Glad to hear that your dad is doing OK. Would you like to come down this Saturday as I'm going to be home all day? I hope to get the main line done. I'd be more then happy to set up some other layout visits and show you mine. <br /> <br />I've got to get dressed and go to work so <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
