Good Afternoon All: <br /> <br />Three post in one day - now that's a new one for me. Who is the new lady member? I didn't see that when I was reading all of the posts. <br /> <br />It is depressing to go upstairs and see the plywood prairie with no scenery after seeing so many nice layouts. I hooked up the digitrax and got some trains running but they didn't look as good as what I've been looking at for the last three weeks <br /> <br />I am now the proud owner of a CMRR 105' turntable. It doesn't have as much detail as the Diamond Scale but I think that it'll be better as it's probably more durable. Just from reading the instructions and looking at it, it looks like a two to three day construction job with other projects thrown in also. Rivet counters would enjoy this item - NO RIVETS, so I'm telling everybody that it is completely welded. <br /> <br />This is an answer to a post a long time ago <br />How I get into the forum: <br />1) get to the forum <br />2) sign in <br />3) go to Model Railroad forums <br />4) go to General Discussion (Model Railoader) <br />5) after the directory loads pu***he Favorites button on the very top of the screen <br />6) Add this page to your favorites page , with whatever name you want. <br />7) the next time you want to get on the forum you just pu***wo buttons: 1) favorites, and then 2) What ever you named it; and the registration is already taken care of. <br />8) super simple <br /> <br />I've found out that the GATS shows are different even when only 200 miles apart as they will have different sellers and different layouts. All of them are nice to go to thou. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah: <br />If you want a film camera look at the SLR's as they have the most features for the buck. I agree with Fergie as digital is the wave of the present and the prices are dropping like flies in winter. I was in Wal-mart night before last and saw a Kodak 5 meg camera cheaper then what I paid for my 3.2 meg, made me sick. Before you buy check the pawn shops, they'll ususally give you a forty-eight hour guarrentee which is long enought to see if all of the features work. It's a lot easier to up-load from digital then film. Very few paper pictures are looked at anymore. I've got a Cannon AE-1 that hasn't shot a picture in probably 2-3 years. Digital is so much easier and you can use the TV for big picture viewing. <br /> <br /> <br />Ed: <br />I decided to post this comment so I could ask you when you were comming to Houston as I've got a schedule of layouts and thought you might come over to our place on a Friday or Monday and we'd go layout viewing on Sat and Sun. I've seen a lot of the layouts so we could make an intelegent (SP) decision as to what to go see. Now I see that you aren't comming. I'm not going to say hen-pecked but did the decision have anything to do with the timing of sales of ladies things in town? <br /> <br />I can't believe the progress that you've made with construction. How many laborers are you employing to get all that work done? I saw a simple control panel at Tom's; a 6" X 6" (I think ) recessed, with just a one picture of a turnout and the switch. So nice and so easy to use I'm already designing mine. <br /> <br />WHAT'S WRONG WITH MAYONNAISE ON HAMBURGERS? THE ONLY WAY TO GO <br /> <br /> <br />Tom: <br />I'm going to start cutting up my mainline this afternoon for some bridges. <br /> <br /> <br />Paul: <br />Do you have any brass ATSF steam locos that you want to get rid of? <br /> <br />Well let me get off this forum and get some modeling done. <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
