<p>I am going to take it lightly on Todd´s account - Janie, just a coffee for me, please!</p> <p>Good Afternoon Gang!</p> <p>Today is my son´s first day at work - I bet he is all edgy about it. I wish I could say that again one fine day. Moving around still hurts, all my muscles are tensed up. I will have to see a doctor about it, should it not go away soon.</p> <p>I worked down a mile-long HD list this morning, just like every Monday morning. Vacuum the floor, clean the bath room, grocery run, laundry - the usual household chores. I am glad I don´t have to mow the lawn or weed the yard anymore [;)]</p> <p>Made some adjustments to the plan for "my" Z scale Salt Lake Route layout. In order to add some more operational interest, I took away part of the double main line in favor of a stretch of single track. This bottleneck enforces operation, but makes wiring a little more complicated. I was planning on wiring it for DC dual cab-control, only to find out, that buying all the switches I´d need, plus a mile of terminal strips, is moe expensive than a cheaper DCC system, like the Bachmann Dynamis set ( has anyone some experience with that?). So that could be an option. </p> <p>I need to dismantle the old layout and start to sell those items i won´t be needing for the new one. A rough calculation, based on about 1/3 of today´s prices, showed me that I will gain sufficient funds to get started with two DCC locos, a handful of cars and a(used) Dynamis set. All I need is to talk to Petra, but for some reason I am chickening out of that.</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Z-ANLAGE12-3.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Stay safe!</p>
