<p>Good Evening!</p> <p>It´s been a boring day. Nothing really happened, which is actually a good thing. I am not into surprises these days. Well, the only incident was Petra complaining on my Z scale layout resting on the coffee table in our living room. To be honest, I don´t really have a place for it - yet. I have not started on the wiring - still waiting for the stuff I ordered two weeks ago.</p> <p>I have to be careful with any spending this month. There are a few things due for payment, like the road tax, car insurance, plus the annual service and DOT safety inspection. This will blow a big hole into my savings, meaning a complete drain of what´s in my piggy bank. Despite being the cheapest car to run, it´s not economical at all. The annual cost is much higher than taking a taxi, and that´s without having driven a single mile! A hefty price for convenience! I just wish they would make and sell small electric cars in this country - that´s all we would need. The ones available are still way too expensive to be feasible.</p> <p>Angelob - great videos of a nice small layout. These vidoes really prove that the size of a layout is absolutely irrelevant to the fun of building and operating it! Thanks for sharing it with us!</p> <p>Ray - is that one short blast for moving forward and two short blasts for moving backward? That´s what engineers do in Germany, but only when a loco is about to move without a train.</p> <p> </p>
