Good Morning All: <br /> <br />I'm going to try what Phil did and see if this post will be <br />easier to read. By Canadian standards it's going to be <br />hot here today 66 F. <br /> <br />The reason that this page is so wide (I think) is the links <br />that Jim put on don't have a break. <br /> <br />***: <br />I used code 83 because of the variety of switches that are <br />available. I don't have any trouble with any of my locos <br />running on the ties as all of them have RP25 wheel contures. <br />I like the code 83 and it isn't that much more then code 100 <br />in price. Did you get Lynn Westcotts book on benchwork yet? <br />A friends layout is laid with code 70 and his track dissapears <br />into the ground scenery. <br /> <br />Talking to the LHS's in Houston (5 of them), code 83 sales <br />have outstripped code 100 sales for about 2 years now. When <br />Atlas went over to code 83, I figured they were onto the change <br />since they are the leader in track sales. <br /> <br />***: <br />Do you think they are called the New England Pats just so the <br />rest of New England would support them? Their's a lot of <br />greed in the NFL. When the super bowl was in Houston they <br />wanted to charter my bus for $900.00 a day and then charged <br />the companies $2400.00 for it. <br /> <br />Jim: <br />The MOW cars that Walthers had were origionally Silver <br />Streak and they are available on eBay for usually less <br />then $15.00 ea. They are a nice kit to build, probably <br />takes a few evenings per car. I built several of them a <br />looong time ago and they were enjoyable. <br /> <br />Ed: <br />You'd better have a comfortable chair when you get back <br />as we are proflic now and you'll have about 4 pages per <br />day to catch up on. <br /> <br />Well I've got to go to work <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br /> <br />bOB
