No work today on the big layout. The Wedding Presents RR is now abandoned and track is up.
Extra rolling stock that is not on new layout, is in tubs with bubble wrap.
Room has some of the tubs wife wants to put under the layout in the walk-in attic after I get the benchwork done.

YEA CHIEF,
I even have a eight minute bell set so the kidos can clean up the shop. Maybe you should install one?

Thanks John, will definetly check them out. Too much time and work to have to go back and fiddle with these all the time. (Finding the little set screw, much less the problem potential. ) Old Risk analysis I sometimes play with.
1. Potential of occurrance..... Rating 1-5, 5 being the highest.
2. Severity of occurrance...... Rating 1-5, 5 being the hightest.
Then simply total the numbers for the various options and instant reccomendation. This case both come up with very high risk..... Replace them.

The ckt bkr has a tendency to move or rotate a little, (the center ones especially) caused an internal short. 2. Set screw in banana plug can come loose easy and fall out letting wire come loose. I have taken some locktite to try and resolve.

Don, If you want a top quality banana plug try Mouser # 530-108-0303-1, that is the black # but they come in other colors. This one has no set screw, you just strip the wire, insert in the plug and twist around the connector and screw the cap on to lock the wire in place. They also have a high amperage rating.
John, for an electrician, we are goign to have to buy you glasses. You did not see the quick acting circuit breaker box I build several years ago.
OH, you mean that box. Yes I guess the old eyes aren't what they once were.
Chief,
Looks great! I can't get over how fast you're moving with this. Keep up the great work and keep posting photos of it!

Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
Great work chief! You go like a rocket..! Don't forget the posters to mimic the background, it will add a lot to the deapth of your layout and now's the time to add them. When it's all sceniced, you can't reach the wall anymore.
The big engines look a lot better then on the ground! Really massive! Keep up the good work, with a bit of scenery your layout will be awesome..

Just terrific, man! Are you going to scenic all this, or do carpet on the tables too?

Why should he worry about that? To cut the power in Roseyville, he'll just take the hamsters off of the little wheel.

Rogers Corner.
Don't you mean Roger's Corners, Ohio, ELV. 936 .......A place way up NORTH that doesn't serve grits or sweet tea.
