Good Afternoon! Just back from a short visit to my train friend´s place. We discussed the issues I have with my layout and came up with some ideas how to cure some of the problems I have with it. Space for buildings - if I move the layout about 4" from the wall, I could add a board, giving me much more room for buildings of the proper size. Good idea, but that would add to the problems I have with the leg of the "T". Re-ballast the track. Removing the old ballast is a tedious job, but can be done. The ballast I used is designated for O standard gauge main lines and seems to be too course for O scale narrow gauge track. Excellent idea. This will certainly help to improve the looks of the track, but does not solve the operation issues I have with it. The Peco turnouts are not as reliable as I expected them to be and have the wrong tie spacimg and arrangement. There is also no room to install the switchstands i wanted to have (Caboose Industries HO high level switchstands). I have decided not to decide and let the case rest for a while. I may do something different in the meantime - like getting my HOn3 D&RGW T-12 4-6-0 back into a working condition and maybe build a small diorama for her. Jeff - the damage to the road reminds me of what I have seen a tank can do when making a 180 degree turn on the spot on a hot summer day. Todd - you are talented, Sir. You should collect all your "Todd & Brenda" stories in a scrapbook, for future publication! I just love to read them, and was missing them lately. Garry - the Porsche 928 looks nice. When it was introduced it received a lot of criticism for not being a "real" Porsche", being not as brutish as the old 911 and having come out of a cooperation between Audi and Porsche. I have driven one years back and found it to be much better riding than the 911. Have an enjoyable weekend!
