Phil.[/quote] Good Morning All: I live on the TEXAS gulf coast so I know what you mean Phil. When I was in college (1960) a hurricane came in and they wanted ham radio operators to go to Port Arthur and broadcast what was happining, my dad and I went down and for two days watched the gulf almost come over the storm leeve. I got to ride out on the patrols and their was electric wires dancing all over the streets and down trees, it wasn't a pretty sight. The clean-up takes forever. When I got married we moved to Groves and that is 17 miles closer to the gulf then Beaumont. Our house is on piers so we're at least 19" off the ground. Good luck for the trains - they're all up stairs. Today we get to go operate a layout that isn't used very much anymore, it takes up a large two car garage. I'm taking two of my locos and a throttle. We hope to have about 6 guys, it makes for a nice day. I will probably only stay about 4 hours and then come home and lay some more switches on my layout. YNCS: Do you display your layout? The wife and I are going to New England and Nova Scotia and will be comming back through CT. We are going to stop at quite a few layouts and railroad museums. We are going to leave around the last of Sept or the first of Oct. This is also a fall color trip. I've been there many times but she always had to stay home and watch the shop, so this is her year. It will be interesting to put a face and voice with the posting. LUPO: What four pairs of trucks are you going to paint? Surely not the Intermountian. I run both colors and don't worry about it. JPM335: I've owned several Bachman locos and when I had trouble I call - they get the parts out very quickly and also talked me through the problems. der5007: I bet the roaches loved that floor. Is your layout N or HO? When I told Stephanie (wife) that we were going to see your layout, her commet was that's two in two days, yours and Fergies. Will I have a long day going from Halifax to Beddeck with time for you and Sherebrooke village? Brakie: I trying to figure out how the get to you hometown the easiest way. Is you layout N or HO? Well I've got to get dressed and get over to Mickies and have a fun day. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
