Last weekend I got the sheet cork laid for the yard and when I was laying the throat I messed up on of the switches and as luck would have it, it was the last switch in the cabinet. I had to have the hobby shop mail it out to me (he's 108 miles away). While waiting for it to come in I decided to save some money and use sand as a filler on the curved part of the yard, since it'll be covered with ballast no one will know what the filler is. I spent all evening drying out and sifting the sand that Wally World said was dry and sifted (ha ha ha). The next evening I laid some sand and then read the new Scale Rails that came in from the NMRA. Last night I put the rest of the sand down and I went home at lunch time and the sand is dry and level with the cork so tonight I'll start laying the six tracks in the yard. I'm interested in buying a Custom Model Railroad turntable but I don't know anything about them. I've built a Diamond Scale and I don't feel like going through that again. With a little luck I should have the yard laid by Sunday night. To Joe G. It's nice to know that someone besides me likes building Bowser locomotives. I just wi***hat they had some without the bellpaire firebox besides the 2-10-2. I tried filling it off but I filed through the casting. I have their mountain, decapod, and a mike built and running with my private road decals. Five more of their locos are in the boxes waiting. They may still be waiting when I'm pushing up daisys, since I'm 65. The "old lady" is running but with no paint, monkey motion, or decoder but it looks good to me. Well it's time to go home and see what I can accompli***onight. The wife had an incapacitating stroke so I get to cook the meals. But after dinner it's MY time. Have a blessed day and REMEMBER SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
