  Good Afternoon Folks! Right in time for the Easter season, our weather has turned into what it is normally at this time of the year, windy, gray and wet. Temperatures do not go much above 4°C, and it is not really inviting to go outside. Our gas prices have reached an all time high, and they are expected to go up even more. For us, this means we will have to stay put over Easter, no family visits [sigh] On the better side, I can now move around a little more freely without being hampered by any pain - only my right arm still hurts. Still no MRRing or any other hobby activity possible. Did I tell you that I won the case against our labor administration? Well, I did, but that does not necessarily mean I will get the money they now owe me in short order. It´ll probably take another couple of weeks. I am just glad that friends of ours stepped in, so I could transfer last month´s rent. Having an eviction looming over one´s head sure is no fun. No news from the job front, other than I have received a couple of those "thank you for applying, but..." emails. Can´t say that I am pleased about this. Each application I send out is accompanied with a lot of hopes and wishes ... [sigh][sigh] Did some minor tweaking with that plan, just to improve the radius of one curve, which was below the 200 mm mark, which is too tight. Now the overall minimum is 250 mm, the average is 275 mm, which equates into 24" in HO scale. I am also thinking of moving the location of the layout up north to an NOB location, as UP rolling stock and locos are a rare bird to get here in Germany. I have to admit that I also fell in love with the looks of this beauty: <img src="http://www.n-trains.de/Firmen/mtl/z/z-jpg/970-/1201_97001150.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> The picture shows just about the size of the loco. Well, dreams, just dreams! Have a good one!
