<p>Good Evening!</p> <p>It´s been a surprisingly pleasant day in my neck of the woods - both in terms of our weather and what I did during the day. We had some fog this morning, but it cleared up pretty quickly, followed by a lot of sunshine and temperatures up to 19°C. Nice and calm autumn weather! I spent the morning sorting out my thoughts on my future layout. Whatever thought I have, I end up in a dead end street. It´s either the space or the money, or even both, which set strict limitations to what I can do. Maybe I want too much at a time, so I decided to step back for a while, find a new (mental) approach to the issue and see how things develop. I definitively go for continuous running! No compromise on that! Basta! Meanwhile, I will review those many plans I have made in the past - maybe there is one I can use as a basis for future plans!</p> <p>In the afternoon, I went to see my friend Lothar. He has finished his tug boat (pictures will follow soon) and has spent some time completing his Z scale briefcase layout he built from leftovers I had from the big Z layout which was given to me some time ago. He fabricated a 31" by 20" "briefcase, in which he built a folded figure 8 layout, using mainly Styrofoam as a basis. It´s a toy, but so what! It looks nice and we played with it for some time while enjoying the sunshine on his patio. Next time I´ll take some pictures - I bet Galaxy is keen to see what he made out of very little! Just a hint - the layout sports a tiny engines house with the doors being opened by a little servo drive my friend built!</p> <p>Well, that´s all from me today - have a happy one!</p>
