<p>Good Morning!</p> <p>Back home again - after spending two days in our hospital for a thorough check-up of all systems. In those two days, I was subjected to just about any of those diagnosis systems they have, starting out with the "tube", 24h ECG, looking inside my stomach (yuck!), sonar - you name it. Results? Nothing! The symptoms are quite clear, but what´s causing them is yet unknown. I don´t know whether I should be happy or not. I´d rather know what´s wrong and what can be done, so I´ll start to feel better.</p> <p>Ray - thanks for moving the diner to the September location!</p> <p>Garry - a belated [bday] to you!</p> <p>Ken - let me know how much space you will be able to dedicate to your new layout. Think about that triple-track main line. Sounds like an overkill to me, if you also want to have some "serious" operations, i.e. industries to serve, a yard etc. Just give me some input and I will fire up my old CAD program...</p> <p>When you are in a hospital, most of the time you spend waiting for something to happen. I made use of that time to think about my layout plans (and dreams). As much as I want to have continous running of my trains - it ain´t going to happen, unless I go down to Z scale (which I won´t). So it´s either a shelf switcher or nothing. The idea I had putting the layout on sliders and insert boards on the back and sides is not feasable - the benchwork will be way too complicated to build, aside from the cost of it.</p> <p>I am at the edge of giving up.</p> <p>Have a happy and healthy day!</p>
