<p>Scott, gads on your play sounds like fun, i also agree with what some of the others told you. with your car keep hounding the ins. people its the only way to get anywhere with them. Go with the angle thats its a classic and you are restoring it. </p><p> You know i never minded winter to much but this deep freeze you're in, in Wisconsin is getting old, its down right painful to go outside with these temps. I tried to go to grand crossing this morning i got up just like every day 3:00 am it was -8 you can't shut the engine down for more then ten mins. at a time and with gas backup up to2.33 a gal railfanning is starting to cut into layout money. </p><p> Man i have gotten alot of work done on the layout, this week i installed my new Walthers turntable, it works great the gearing is really quiet. Also this week I picked up a Trix Mike off eBay for $181.00 all i can say is WOW I though the P2Ks sounded great this is even better. It runs like a watch and weights a ton took off up my 2% grade with 20 cars and a cab like the grade wasn't even there. The detail is as the same level as a brass engine but at a third the cost. The only thing that i don't like is it has a dummy coupler on the front. Does anyone have one of these and if so did you find a way to replace the front coupler?</p><p> Well till later I have to get all the bus and feeders put into the engine termial area today and tomorrow, and the swicth stands. </p><p> Hey Jeff you where up at my time the other day how did you like it? I have come to love it its peaceful, I drive down to work and maybe pass 2 or 3 cars all the way.</p>
