Good Morning All: <br /> <br />Last night, just to get away from the Thanksgiving preparations, I went upstairs and laid some track and then decided I needed to just push cars back and forth to be sure the switches were aligned right. One place kept derailing one truck, the other three trucks worked fine. How about the Points weren't in gage. A little thumb pressure solved the problem. <br /> <br />Fergie: <br />Sounds like the dryer was an easy problem to fix. Since you were so nice Lisa will now get you a Christmas present. <br /> <br />sNoah: <br />If you build that kit with Walthers "goo" it'll stay together a long time. Be sure and put the glue on one surface and then put the two pieces together and then pull them apart for 1 1/2 or 2 minutes and then stick them back together. It makes a good joint and will be very strong. Be sure that the box (two end blocks, roof and floor) is square or the sides wont fit. Weight the car before you put the last side on so you can add the required weight. I'm sorry - for those others of you, I sent sNoah a Silver Streak car the other day so he could see first hand what we had to start with forty million years ago. Flip remembers these cars, don't you. These were the best on the hobby shop shelves and cost a whappin' $2.95. Central valley cars were $3.95 because they were truss rods and the old folks had more money. <br /> <br />We decided to close Wed. throu Sun. but for now I've got to go to work. <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob <br /> <br />PS. See Ed, the bold worked today - thanks <br />
