Good Evening All: I had a good time "testing track" today. Ed may get way ahead of me as I keep getting distracted from construction.. Flip: I received three e-mails from you on Jan 6th. I tried to call you this morning but I couldn't get your phone number off the internet. How about sending it to me when you see this post. John: You have no idea how much cork I've relaid because it didn't go like I thought it should. I whole hardly agree about the transitions into the curves. I started out doing Tru-scale milled roadbed or hand laid ties and lots of scratch building. On my first two layouts, all of the switches were Atlas kits. If you had told me in 1959 that I'd be using flex track I'd have laughed you out of the country. Only woosies would use such a simple product. It sure makes layout construction easy. ***: Before I started construction on this layout I went down to Lowes and bought some light colored vynel and covered the floor, so I could see what fell off the layout during construction. I'm going to have the room carpeted when we are through, but for now it would be to hard to find the parts on the floor. Not only that, I don't have to worry about burning a hole in the carpet. It's also easier to sweep. I also used 3/4" B-C plywood with cork glued on top. The cd 83 track is spiked and glued. Don't be afraid to pull something up if it doesn't work right as it's easier to fix it as you go and not wait until you're done. Well, I'm going to get ready for bed and see about taking some pictures of my new bridge. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
