 Hi, it´s me again,Zoe, just a coffee for me, as supper time is approaching - may I stay at the RC? Thank you.I am just back from a short visit to one of my former neighbors - the one who had helped us so much getting our flat into shape. He is a model railroader and also builds model ships. He showed me his recent work - a tugboat in 1/50 scale, about a yard long. He has added so much detail to it, including sound and smoke. When he starts the engine, there is a big cloud "belching" out of the stack, which slackens off the moment the engine is running  - fantastic! The sound system he has installed has a 80mm speaker, which has enough oomph to it to make a terrific, but real noise. He has programmed  some other sounds, like seagulls, which appear randomly - great. I will check on this system for use on my layout! Next time I will be with him I will be also taking pictures of his Marklin layout, which has turned into a jewel over the last years (with a little coaching from my side).It is so good to have friends like him!My plans to re-enter the world of model railroading on an active basis are taking shape, slowly, but steadily. It will not be tomorrow or even next month, before I will be able to start, but it feels so good to have a perspective. We all need to have something to hang on - a life without those little dreams, that we can make come true, is a poor life.Sawyer - a big [tup] for your attitude! You are a true sportsman - yessir! Life is not at all wins - it is about being able to get up again when you are down (which I am trying to do at the moment).John - yes, the video showed the Jubilee class loco, not by incidence [swg]. Still, my preference would be to go for US outline MRRing, but it is a little to dear to me at the moment. I think it is a workable compromise, with the benefit of catching Petra´s liking for it, as the loco is "so cute" - women!!!  Going "British" is in any case better than kvetching about not being able to do some model railroading!I have bookmarked the link you have sent! CUL!
