Good Morning Everyone! Ha, I beat Bill this time! Zoe, just a cup of coffee for me this time, please. I might run to our home depot to get some plywood, so I can start building the "benchwork" for some corner modules. It´ll run up to about $ 20 this time - I have to check with Petra whether we can squeeze this out of the month´s budget. Jeff - I know exactly how you feel. Not being able to afford even the smallest purchase to continue on your layout takes away all the fun of it. I have been through that a number of times in the past 24 months, with many a dream bubble bursting, when it came down to calculating the cost for even a small start. Even though I have started "something" now (certainly not my dream layout), I know it´ll be a long way until I can see the first train circling the loop of track, which my layout eventually will be. I still need about $ 120 to be able to run a loco on a stretch of track, most of it to be spent on a DC power pack. I thought I could avoid buying that, but the coreless motor in my steamer will be ruined by the PWM DC controller I still have.But I have decided to continue, step by step. Progress will be slow. Did I say slow? I mean Slooow! I am confident that it will work out - somehow. I need this to keep my sanity, to have something to cling on in the bad times we are in. Jeff, please hang in there! I wish I could help you. It makes me sad not being able to help a friend. Barry - interesting collection of whatchumaycallits. Sometimes I wonder about what is able to run on rails. CUL Folks!
