Good Morning All: I went to Beaumont and picked up my turntable motor yesterday. The coupling is 1/4" bore to fit the shaft on the bridge and the shaft size is 5/16" so it's off to the machine shop to get it bored. If my drill press wasn't so far back in the garage I'd do it, but the machine shop is on the way to work and it gives me a chance to talk to Freddy about what's going on in his life. Flip: The manufactores number for OK is 543 in the Walthers catalog. They're not in the 2004 calalog, I don't know if they're in the 2005 as I haven't bought one yet. Their "complete catalog of OK Streamliners" is available for $2.00 from OK ENGINES P. O. Box 355H Mohawk, NY. 13407 Ed: Were you serious about no heaters in the house? Of course I know that you probably have a BIG ac but it looks to me like you'd want a small heater at least. We had an estimate done the other day about a new central heat and ac, he's talking 5 tons of AC and 85,000 BTU of heat. Since the house has electric heat (too expensive to run) I plumbed it for gas and we are using one 35,000 BTU dearborn heater to heat a six room house. Youse guys in Canada don't even know that a heater as small as 35,000 BTU exist. Krump: You're in beautiful BC so keep your cold. Have you noticed that the weather man gives us a wind chill in the winter and a heat index in the summer? I'd like a heat index in the winter when I need it and a wind chill in the summer. They're talking possable Snoah flurries Thursday afternoon. That means that all work will stop so we can watch the snow fall, but he says no stick just flurries. Noah: I thought the scenery that looked like a kitchen counter top was great. Look at how long and how many men it took to get that scenery just right. And I like the idea of submurged track, that's a good idea, it saves money. That way the train can go EVERYWHERE. John: I never thought about using a white glue dam to keep the diluted glue out of the switch points. I just keep working the switch points back and forth until the diluted glue sets. Give me something to do while I'm "track testing". Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
