Good Morning All: <br /> <br />The second cup of tea sure hits the spot..Isn't it nice that we now have Sven vid us and no longer have Noah vanting snow. HMMMMM - I vunder vat does Sven do for a living? Is he an "A" student also. <br /> <br />Ed: <br />I took some more pictures of the track and on the review button they look a lot better but I haven't put them on the TV yet. We (I) just re-arranged the living room and I haven't gotten all of the wires conected back to the TV. The TV is now sitting on a much higher wine cabnet and is going to be easier to see. Mrs. "T" has to be able to watch "Law and Order". She's figured out a use for everything but the glass holders. I didn't even remember the "flower" button until you reminded me. It worked pretty good. <br /> <br />On hydroponics: we drove to Canada to buy: 1) a pump made in China for a company in Oklahoma City; 2) a timer made also in China for a company in Chicago, Ill.; and 3) some Atwood marine fittings. Went we go to Houston we never had time to look at any of the hydroponic stuff, I guess we will now. Between Papa Ben's and a plant store, we probably can't afford to go to Houston too much. <br /> <br />Lupo: <br />Thanks for the instructions. I'll play with it this afternoon. <br /> <br />Paul: <br />Sand paper cause small grooves in the track and then you have dirt get in their and start the build-up process. You're better off to use a chemical cleaner like Aero locomotive track cleaner ACT6006, available a Loy's Toys for $6.50 <br /> <br />http://www.loystoys.com/indexes/track-cleaning-products.html <br /> <br />(see Ed and Lupo - a little learning is a dangerous thing) This works better then Goo Gone as it doesn't leave a film. If my track is dirty I just put on the 2-8-8-2 (because of so many pick up wheels) and pull my track cleaner car around the layout. I have a centerline car and am very pleased with it. <br /> <br />Jim: <br />I buy almost everything , from eBay to on-line, by money order and haven't had any trouble. I can usually wait the extra few days. <br /> <br />John: <br />My trip was to early. You've been making good progress on the layout. I've decided to build a curved tressel (bridge) on the branch line but we're going to be looking at the inside instead of the outside so it will not be as impressive as the one that you built, but I'm looking forward to the design and construction. <br /> <br />Someone just called and they have a down bus, with 43 passengers, out on the freeway so I've got to go - see ya'll later <br /> <br />Bob
