Good Morning! Zoe, make that the #3 special breakfast menue for me, that´s French toast, a tall glass of OJ and a gallon of coffee, with lot of milk, but hold the sugar, please. I git up quite earyl and have been trying to repair my WiFi connection. I have filed severely complaints with my Internet provider and only this morning I was told that it´s not the line, but my FritzBox! WiFi router. It´s brand new, so I expected it to work properly, which it didn´t. I had to dig down deep into the guts of the settings to get a reading that apparently neighboring WiFi networks might influence the transmission rate, causing it to lower it. Now at only 1/10 of the rate, the overall speed went down to literally nothing, causing page loading to go into the Nirvana of the web. With a couple of clicks after an hour of guessing what to do, I was able to select a different channel, which apparently provided the solution to the issue, but for how long? Grrrrrr!!!! YGW - IIRC, Walton´s Mountain was broadcasted in 1973/1974 - the time I spent being an exchange student at Bainbridge Island Highschool. One of the teacher strongly recommended us students to watch it, as the series supposedly showed a true picture of rural US life during the Depression. I was more into watching "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors and that gorgeous Farrah Fawcett than having to look at the rather homely Mary-Ellen Walton. Well, I was 18 then ... [:-^] The crazy thing is, that I got so bored by watching Walton´s Mountain that I still remember it! I just wonder how the made those trains running on the same track in different directions? With AC power, you just can´t switch the polarity of the track, there is a little relais-powered swith in each loco which has to be tripped with a short "blast" of a higher voltage (which made the locos jump). I have only one Marklin loco, so I can´t try running two locos in opposite directions on the same track. Any which way, the flat car load makes an operating session a real killer! Today´s video shows ex Royal Prussian State Railway classes P 8 and T 18 on their final day in service in 1974. I missed that occasion, as I was still in the US at that time. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6tKYKQOVc04" width="425" height="350"></iframe> You see the words "Letzte Fahrt" written on the smokebox door. "Letzte" means "Last" and "Fahrt" - no, not what you just thought, it just means trip!
