Mike, although my friend came over to my place, we did not work on the wiring of my Swiss layout. I made a terrible mistake while servicing my little Z scale 2-10-0 staem loco. I opened the gear cover plate and the gears and wheels fell out! It took me an hour of fiddling and fettling before I had to accept the fact, that I won´t be able to get them in again. My friend will give it a try and I am sure he will succeed. Nevertheless, I had to learn a big lesson today. Over the years and due to some nasty heart issues and strokes, I have lost a number of my skills. Worse than that is the loss of confidence into what I am doing. I will not be able to finish that Z scale layout, so it has to go. I will also sell the Swiss narrow gauge layout onece it is finished, for which I need help. When the two layouts are sold, I will revisit my physical and mental situation to see whether I can somehow stay active in this hobby, which has been a true companion to me for 53 years. At the moment, prospects are not to good. Instead of doing the wiring, I was able to finish the promised track plan - without the 3D graphics, though. Good news is it will fit on your table (with some fettling), bad news is that the track you will need won´t come cheap. Well, here it is: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Mikeacutes%20Marklin%20Layout_zpszxlorlpr.jpg" alt=" " /> It´s a nice layout for playing with your trains, but certainly not for re-enacting prototypical operation, should that be the route you want to follow. Just a first thought - maybe I find some other options!
