It´s past lunchtime! Petra and I are just back from our anniversary lunch at our Chinese restaurant. It felt good to have a meal outside for a change. Petra had beef and veggies in a coconut milk & curry sauce and I had beef "Sichuan style", which hot and spicy. Both were simply delicious. Actually, the place is run by a very friendly Vietnamese couple and a booming place. You need to reserve for lunch! I am going to have a nap now - the pain in my hip did not let me sleep well last night. Moving around is still awkward - my hip is screaming at me (just to quote Jeff). YGW - family issues are always difficult to deal with, and usually not very rewarding. My parents urgently need help, but are to stubborn to accept it. The worst issue is, that they don´t have any friends around them - they survived all of them. A pretty nasty thought. Petra´s aunt and uncle also need to move into an assisted living place. her aunt is tied to a wheelchair. She is suffering from MS and can hardly move even with a wheel chair. They still live in their house. Each night, Petra´s uncle has to carry his wife upstairs! Her son lives 300 miles away from them and has been urging them to move closer to his place for some years now, but without success. I do hope I won´t be that stubborn when I get to this age (my son says I am already) Barry - it´s a Japanese company called World Kougei or World Craft. They make highly detailed N scale brass kits of Japanese prototype. Kits sell for about $ 150 to $ 300 (steamers), so not really a bargain. Assembled kits run up to $ 1,000, just about the same price range as Tenshodo brass models. This is expensive, but when you figure that some plastic locos of European prototype are coming close to this price level, the price does not seem to be unreasonable. Here is a link: <a target="_blank" href="http://translate.google.de/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.world-kougei.com%2F">World-Kougei</a> Just a quick update on the module: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020369klein.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020371klein.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> As of right now, it already looks much better than in the above pic. Well, I´ll be going for my nap - CUL!
