Good Morning All: I had a GREAT day yesterday - I got to talk to Fergie and Mo Jim. Lisa said it was still snowing and I told her about our 85 DEGREE heat wave. I played with the turntable and got all of the pictures taken now I've got to up-load them to railimages and then I'll post 'em. Mrs "T" says their is more grass in the TT pit then their is on our lawn. I laid the approach track and was able to drive several locos on and off with no help from the 0-5-0. It sure does look nice to see those locos move on and off. It has a 12 volt DC motor to control the bridge so I hooked a Digitrax DH-121 up to it and set it at address 99, now I can control the rotation with a throttle and the control is fabulas. Ken: I'm sure that you have been to the B&O museum since it re-opened. When we were on vacation and stopped in Balt to see Ft. McHenry and the transportation museum, wouldn't you know - our luck - it was going to open the next weekend. I did stop by CMR and picked up a TT kit. At the museum I realy did push on the fence trying to get closer to the exhibts. They've got an outside braced box car that I wanted to get some pictures of but I couldn't get the right angle. I feel that I could spend a week in Balt and still not see everything. At Ft. McHenry they showed us were the ship that Francis Scott Key was on and how far it was from the Ft. No one in their right mind would think that anyone could see a flagg at that distance, but it makes a nice lyric. The guide offerd the idea of a "spyglass" but it wouldn't have been that powerful. ***: [quote]QUOTE: ...I did manage to get some work done on the train room today inbetween all the snow work. I set up a work area with storage cabinet, work table and desk, a bookcase, and then brought down all the MRR mags, MRR books, kits that need building, locos, DCC system, tracks, scenery supplies, etc. The "room" is ready, now the benchwork needs to start, but first I need to plan the layout. [/quote] I hope you are planing one loop, at least, as opposed to only a point to point. When I'm working and want to hear the loco sounds it's nice to fire up a train and let the chuffs fill the room, and not have to worry about running out of track. We'll I've got to get ready and go to church. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
