GOOD MORNING ALL: TO WEDGE AND ICET: [#welcome] KRUMP: I left you a post on the decal page? forum? or whatever. The wife had 13 chickens, and 18 ducks. She enjoyed messing around with them for better then 5 years and then we aquired a new neighbor who had a dog that she couln't or wouldn't pen up. Needless to say in four trips to our yard he killed everything. She paid us for them but, the wife was devestated as she had hatched many of them and we still have yet to get anymore, even though the neighbor has moved on. My idea of a fresh egg has changed for one that is a couple of hours old (out of our coop) to one that is probably 3 months old (from the store). Have you ever been to Winnipeg and attended Folklarama? It is great. The last time I was in BC I went in at Vancover and then across to the ice glaciers, Lake Louise, Banff and then on to Winnipeg. I think that the people in Canada are a lot more friendly then their US counterparts. If I turn on my left blinker, they will actually slow down and let me get in front of them. Not so in Houston - they dare you to move over. We own a charter bus company and I've been to BC several times. It has given me a chance to meet a lot of nice people throughout North America. I also enjoy the hobby shops as their inventory is so different. Down here we see a lot of SP, UP, and ATSF. When I went to a hobby shop in Vermont I got to see a lot of Rutland, Maine Central and Vt. Mtn. Like wise in Louisville - a lot of L&N and Southern. Winnipeg hobby shops have road names that are foreign (pun)to us - something about CP and CN [%-)] maybe a regional road? I just received an e-mail from Fergie after I told him that this year it was going to be just the wife and I comming to Nova Scotia. I'm going to try and fit into his schedual so I can see his layout and get a chance to meet him face to face just like bigboy and tinplater. He's just done a turntable and I'd like some ideas. From eBay I've meet a good number of people and seen some great layouts. I think that we are going to stop by Custom Model Railroads and see how they build professional layouts. They are currently redoing the B&O layout in Baltimore at the museum of transportation. THAT'S A MUST SEE. I don't have a lot of time today as the home computer got hit by lightening (SP) and is dead, so I'm using the one at work on work time. Tom: How is the rail laying comming along? I spent Sat and Sun after church laying a six track yard and then wired it in. I sure am pleased with myself as to how well it works. This is the first time that I've used under track magnets for my uncouplers but I like them so far and it looks so much better. I hope that I never have to take them out because most of them are on the curved ladder tracks. Have a blessed day and rmember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
