<p>Good Afternoon Folks!</p> <p>It´s been a somewhat slow day today - time for daydreaming, making plans, thinking about life.</p> <p>I took my time to add detail to 2-D view, enhancing the buildings with brickwork detail, the roof with individual roof tiles and other small items. This is about as far as I can go with the track planning program. The file consists of about 25.000 shapes now, slowing the computer down to an unbelievable 3 minutes between each single operation. I should have prepared the track plan and the 2-D view in separate files for that purpose.</p> <p>Well, I didn´t, so now I have to live with it.</p> <p><a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/SWOKSpurGn15Ansicht_zps16cc34b5.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/SWOKSpurGn15Ansicht_zps16cc34b5.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a></p> <p>Got an interesting phone call yesterday evening. I am a frequent contributor to a German model railroading forum, specializing on larger scales. One of the members lives within 10 miles of my place. He is an avid scratchbuilder of locos and rolling stock and has a shop equipped with all those machine tools you need to do a good job. We will meet next week for a chat. I am certainly looking forward to that.</p> <p>MIA role call:</p> <ul> <li>Wheres Ken?</li> <li>Where is CapeJim</li> <li>Where is DerJohn (got a message from him a few days ago - he has completed the move and now has a large basement which is waiting to be filled with model railroad goodies)?</li> <li>Where is Chris?</li> <li>Where is Sue?</li> </ul> <p>The Diner has lost a considerable number of its patronage!</p> <p>Have a good one!</p>
