<p><em>Monsters, stalking through the night,</em><br /><em>Halloween is the Night of Fright.</em><br /><em>Fear is what this night brings,</em><br /><em>Along with many other things.</em><br /><br /><em>Are you sure you are prepared?</em><br /><em>Tonight is not for the easily scared.</em><br /><em>Creatures from hell roam on this night,</em><br /><em>For tonight is the Night of Fright.</em><br /><br /><em>Trick or treat you say,</em><br /><em>You should not have waited until the end of the day.</em><br /><em>Tonight you will lose your tricks and treats,</em><br /><em>For the monsters need to eat.</em><br /><br /><em>You better not take this night lightly,</em><br /><em>Or else you will truly learn what fright means.</em><br /><br /><em>In ancient times people feared this night,</em><br /><em>The night they greeted with fright.</em><br /><em>Why they were so scared you will soon see,</em><br /><em>On this "All Hollows Eve." </em></p> <p>A Ghooly Morning to you all!</p> <p>I can´t believe it - the last day of October already!</p> <p>Our mail women (the cute one [;)]) just brought my last Ebay purchase - the missing pair of turnouts, so I am all set to lay the track. I need to get some cork roadbed before I can start, but I have not yet made up my mind whether to buy the expensive Heki stuff or go for the el-cheapo version. I like cheap, but it has to be good as well!</p> <p>The pair of turnouts are used ones, but this time they are reall used. All other stuff had been brand new. The turnouts arrived dirty, with a lot of gunk from some kind of an adhesive on them. It took me an hour to clean them and test them. Now they are OK.</p> <p>My layout will be DCC operated. I am just wondering, whether I can use the constant voltage on the track to power the turnout motors. Marklin does that with their C-Track turnouts. I have asked that question on a German forum, but received one negative answer. I guess I will have to do more research on this subject!</p> <p>MikeGTW - should you call Jeff, please pass our best wishes to him!</p> <p>Make it a happy day!</p>
