Good Morning, Folks! [quote user="galaxy"]First Day of Spring! Hooray![/quote] Todd, Richard - a belated [bday] to you gentlemen! Where is m,y slice of the [^]? Indeed, the first day of spring! Not a cloud in the sky, daytime high will reach 75°F. I think I will change my tires soon - no need to have those fur-lined snow tires on the car any longer! Spring feeling: <img src="http://www.ohwow.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hmauslachtsich_1.jpg" alt=" " /> I will order the MDF sheets today, already ripped to size, as there is no surcharge for that. There will still be enough sawing and drilling to be done to create a perfect mess. My friend has a few days off, so there is a good chance we may start on putting the benchwork together in the next days. My order of track should arrive today. $ 320 for 8 switches, 10 lengths of flex track and 3 packs of rail joiners is quite a chunk of my budget - a little over half of what I can spend to get started on the layout. Wire, terminal strips, solder, DPDT switches and other bric-a-brac will add another $ 30 to the bill, leaving me with about $200 for scenic material, rolling stock, another loco, a DCC command station, and ... and ...  Somehow I am going to make it. Have a good one and special thoughts for Johnboy and Flip! Edit: A huge package was in today´s mail, contaiming my track order. I already went to the bank to pay it. While on my way, I dropped by at our DIY place and ordered the lumber I need. I will be picking it up tomorrow, and, if my friend will be up to it, start on the benchwork!
