Good Afternoon! There was a blue patch visible in the sky today - could that have been Spring knocking at the door? Well, it´s all gray now and no sign of improvement in the coming days. I gleamed my track this morning, starting with burnishing the rail head with a stainless steel paper knife, which is nicely shaped for the job. Before applying the metal polish. I cleaned the track thoroughly, then too a piece of cork roadbed to apply the polish. After it had dried properly, I then polished the rail. What an improvement! It got even better after I had cleaned the loco wheels. Electrical pickup has improved, and I have a the feeling there is also a considerable amount of less noise - good. After lunch I lookea at a view videos on Norm Charbonneau´s O gauge layout, which I like very much. Now, if I were a rich man ... I don´t really know what makes this layout so attractive to me. Is it the size of locos, the deep and much more realistic sound, or is it little gimmicks like steam coming from the whistle when it´s blown. I don´t know, but I could picture myself having a layout like this one and enjoying it maybe even more than I am enjoying my HO scale narrow gauge layout. It brings back childhood memeories... The layout has a rather simple track plan, which I quickly adapted using SCARM <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/PRR%20Altoona%20O%20Gauge_zpsrgkiveoe.jpg" alt=" " /> I understand that layout has been taken down in the meantime and is being replaced by a similar, but bigger layout. Folks, don´t worry - there is no danger of me being lost to the toy train community - I can hardly finance my little scale "train set". That´s all from me for the moment!
