<p> Good Morning Folks,</p><p>again, a nice and sunny day - seems, as if summer is here to stay!</p><p>Flo, I´ll have a mug of coffee, please, but make it a decaf one - there have been ongoing complaints about my caffeine intake lately. [:D]<br></p><p>What´s love? Love is ... <br></p><p>As I was doing some finishing touches to the layout plan for my friend, Petra came up to me, and while looking over my shoulder, she asked "Why don´t you build something like it?". My short answer was "No money, no trains". "But why don´t you take some from what we have stashed away for the rainy days?", she continued. I could not look at her - did not want her to see the tears in my eyes. Now we don´t have a fortune put away, and I don´t want to touch the little we have left, but it was so sweet of her to offer me that for my hobby.This must be true love ... <br></p><p>There is no end to the rough times we are in, whenever the mail man comes, I start to panic, my heart begins to race and I get breathing problems - will this ever end? I can´t cope with this much longer.<br></p><p>Here is the final version of my friend´s proposed layout - I hope he likes it!</p><p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/TETSUDO-KOSTATIONPeco55-1.jpg?t=1277536839" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/TETSUDO-KOSTATIONPeco55-1.jpg?t=1277536839" width="1024" height="424"> </p><p>I had to make some changes, as he has less space available than he initially thought he had. I also had to change the track from Atlas Code 55 to Peco code 55 track, as tie spacing and tie arrangement in turnouts do not match Japanese prototype and Peco track has a better availibility here. I quite like the design now - he will certainly enjoy building and operating it!</p><p>You all have a good day! <br></p>
