 Good Afternoon everyone,well, in terms of weather, it has proven to be a nice day today - lotsa sunshine and clear and crisp air! [:)]The mail man had some nasty letters from my banks, which kind of spoiled the day for me, although I was expecting them... [:(] Flo, I´ll have  a coffee and a sweet roll, thank you.Jeffrey - good to hear you are improving [tup] Robby P. - nice looking layout you have got started there, with lotsa yard trackage for your wonderfully weathered cars! J.R. - I like those "boxcabs" quite a lot, they are strong pullers in their days with 5,000 hp power. modern locos have up to 9,000 hp - I don´t know how that computes into tractive effort (lbs). Compared to what we now see here in Germany and France the Acela is already a slow train. The French TGV and the German ICE 3 exceed 200 mph on their daily runs!Btw, building a catenary is quite some tasks - Sommerfeldt is offering a highly detailed system, but the prices - [:-^]Those of you who are just getting up - have a good day!
