Good Morning All: It's fairly peacefull here so far. I went up yesterday and worked on the RR. I did a lot of track testing. One of the BLI 4-8-4's started derailing about every third time it went across a certain switch so I did what any good track forman would do that didn't feel like working - turned the loco around and ran it the other way. It ran almost all afternoon and well into the evening. I also got the Genesis AB units hooked to the Intermountain B and ran the passenger train. (Lupo: that color on the trucks bothers me sooooo much that the heck with painting them) I started cutting the ceiling tiles from the rock cut and I'm very pleased with how it is going. I think that I'm going to document this development with pictures as I like the way John has done it. Jim/Ark: I'd say that the poster that lives the closest to Elliott would be Tammy. She'd probably get the award for being the prettiest also, just ask Elliott as I'm sure that he's not prejudice. Jim/Mo: That's a nice track plan but I see some sharp curves, like smaller then 18". If you go with open grid you can make the width about 4'6" and the curves a little bit greater and that gives you a whole lot more equipment that you can operate. The down side to a 4'6" width is that you need to be able to get to all four sides, as you reach is only about 30 to 32". I assume that we are in the regular scale and not Nearly invisable. Simon: I'm a diabetic and it was a good thing that ya'll were there when you were. Just two weeks ago a friend of ours was getting her insulin ready to inject when she went into a coma and died with her kid (28 year old daughter) up stairs. The daughter found her when she didn't come to bed several hours later. This malady (can't spell diese or whatever) is not something to be taken lightly. Well I've got to go to the big city (Beaumont, TEXAS) so I'd better run, beside Stephanie is pacing as she is ready to go. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
