 Good Morning/Good Night,daylight is just breaking over here in Germany. It seems, as if fall has finally got its grip on the weather, it is a dull and overcast day, much colder than yesterday. We had general elections yesterday, with an all time low of participation. More and more people are just fed up with the way this country is run, some of which drift to the ultra left or right positions and some just don´t go - like me. Frau Merkel will continue to be our chancellor, but she will get a new partner. This will be about the only change that will happen...[V] I started working on the budget for the display layout and I am already in excess of $ 1,000 - just for the track, some switch stands, a loco, 2 passenger cars, a caboose, a boxcar and a flatcar, not to forget the DCC control, as he wanted to have some decent sound (bells and whistle). If I add the cost for lumber for the benchwork, scenic materials and structures, it might go well over $ 2,000, not including any remuneration for my work. I don´t think that this is, what he had in mind, when he asked me to do that. I am afraid that it will be boiled down to a simple oval, with a "choo-choo" train circling the loop - or am I just to pessimistic? We will see... Need to go down for breakfast - I am already late. Have a good one!
