Good Afternoon All: <br /> <br />I decided to take the afternoon off and look aroud the coffee shop and see who'e been in and what was said - boy, you guys are talkers. <br /> <br />My TT pit is done and I've started puttying the walls so it can be painted and the bridge is going through the thought process. (Ya'll know how us engineers are - we think something to death.) <br /> <br />Tom: <br />It sounds like Shawna is making progress - GOOD LUCK AND MAY SHE CONTINUE. <br /> <br />Krump: <br />I'm glad to hear about someone else seeing higher then store prices at the shows. I understand it on old out of production items but not stuff that's still on the dealers shelf. My feeling about shows is unless it's a local dealer showing at the show it'd better be a good price for me as I'd rather support my LHS. <br /> <br />Fla/Phil: <br />I'm glad you ask about the "henweigh" so I can say it wasn't me. How big is your layout? Aren't you in HO? <br /> <br />John: <br />On thing that I tried on some scenery was to springle grass on wet paint - MR said it would work. HO, HO, HO, not enought grass took hold to worry about. I spay the area with 50/50 glue and water and then dust the grass on while it's wet. Sometimes I might have to go back and add another coat of glue/water. <br /> <br />Ed: <br />I can't believe the progress that you are making but, I bet in real life or time it's only about 6" square. After all your train isn't regular size. <br /> <br />After looking at Tom and Fergies layouts in not going to wait until ALL of the track is laid before putting in scenery. My first three layouts operated for several months (one was a year) before starting scenery but I've got several places, on this layout, where it's done and the scenery can start. Im also taking some pictures and getting ready for posting school. <br /> <br />Paul: <br />Do I need to load my Digitrax chief back in the car and come see you too? I like the customer support at Digitax and that's why I reccomend it so much. When I used to ask the dumbest questions thet never called me a dumb***, at least not that I could hear. They may have laughed at some of the questions but they always waited until I hung up. When the set was three days old I ask why it wasn't responding and after three or four minutes of trouble shooting he ask "..is the 'power on' light lit up?" That was the problem, and they kidded me about that for several months. <br /> <br />JP: <br />You're going to have to tell us something about yourself - age, HO we hope, we've already got too many <b>N</b>ormal scalers (just pickin' guys). How big is the layout or proposed layout? <br /> <br />Well let me go back to work. <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
