Good Morning All: Well I'm feeling good today as I got to help a guy with his Genesis "F" units. A lot of people don't know that Athearn uses 15 milliamp bulbs and everyone else uses 30 milliampers. One guy even said that Athearn bulbs weren't as good as Minitronics, he probably didn't know about the difference in the current draw. Fergie: Go easy on the request for the Athearn challenger. Read the forum. I've also heard from other sources that the loco is beautiful to look at but sounds like the pitts. No sense in wasteing money. If you can wait BLI is comming out with a SANTA FE 2-10-2 and the 2-10-4. These ought to be some awsome locos. Kathy at BLI said they should ship the first of next month. HA HA HA. I talked to, heck if I can remember, at Soundtraxx (eveyone I wanted to talk to was in a meeting) and she said the Tsuanami will ship the middle of, or late Feburary. They have now learned, don't stop selling one product until its replacement is on the shelves in the stock room. She didn't know if the DSX was going to be up-graded or not. I don't see how it couldn't be. She also said that the some of the steam sounds would be comming out first with diesel to follow. It seems like steam is their best seller. ***: I used 2X2's against the wall instead of the 2X4s that Lynn suggested. My knee brace is a 2X2 also with a 1X4 for the horizional piece. You don't need two of the horizional pieces as that's a lot of overkill. By using the knee brace method I don't have any legs sticking down out from the wall so cleaning is much easier and I can move around a lot easier. Part of my layout is 36" away from the wall and it will support my whole body weight (215#s - need to get back on the diet). Jim: I'm ready to come to your house and help you rummage through your old boxes and see what we can find - I've felt like a kid at Christmas looking through mine. Jim: You left us with a cliff-hanger, now we are sitting around wondering what could be so important as to warrent a quick trip since you were just up there at Christmas time. Now is the time to go to work. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
