<p>Nearly 10 hours since Johnboys post and no one has yet shown up?</p> <p>Good Afternoon!</p> <p>Janie, I´ll be staying here at the RC to wait and see who will drop by today! Yes, coffee is just fine, but add a slice of that apple crumble pie Vinnie just made. Top it with vanilla ice cream and a generous table spoon full of rum raisins, please.</p> <p>While waiting for an order of switches (the SPDT and DPDT kind, not turnouts) to arrive from China, so I can continue on the wiring, I doodled with a new scenery idea, being more in line with the prototype location at Stalden-Neubrück. This location is actually not on the Rhaetian Railway, but on the Matterhorn Gotthardbahn on the final leg of the Glacier Express route to Zermatt. You won´t find any of the motive power I have on that line - a vital gadget is missing on the locos, the cog wheel. Had I known this earlier, I would have gone for locos of that railway. Well, maybe one fine day - if I have a chance to save up some money I don´t spend for coffin nails ... (no offense meant, Ken).</p> <p>So here is the new idea:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Bild%203.1_zpsnj7ovgdp.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The prototype has a road right behind the little chapel - it´s the main road leading up the valley to Zermatt.</p> <p>Speaking of waiting for a delivery from China - I have ordered two packs of switches, each containing 10 switches of either type, for a price which is below the shipping charges occuring for a delivery from a German source. I just don´t understand how that can be!</p> <p>LION - got any news on the release date? I bet the horsepiddle is running out of wildebeest biltong by now.</p> <p>Have a great day, ya´ hear!</p>
