Good Morning Gang, the forum would not allow me enter during the night. I was up at about 2 am our time and wanted to join in the chat, but after 10 minutes of seeing the message "waiting for server to respond", I just gave up. Now, with only 31 members being on line,  it is smooth and slick, just like it should be. It´ll be a sunny and warm day here in northern Germany. The air is heated up by the temper of all those folks waiting for their train to commute to work. Well, they will have to wait for quite some time, as the engineers are on strike, demanding equal pay. I am not going to comment on this, but I can understand that the salary one receives has nothing to do with the decal pasted on the loco´s side. Still no favorable news on Alison´s development. Her life is being sustained by a battery of different machines, and from what her boyfriend told us last night, the docs will decide today, whether to "pull the plug" , should not there be a sign of improvement. Her Mom has arrived late yesterday evening, so her brother and her Mom will be with her on that journey. Petra and I feel very sad and helpless. I laid track on two of the 4 corner modules. I used glue and nails to secure them. I will try to finish the last 2 corner modules today, so my oval of track is complete. This is about as far as I can go now. I have ordered some N scale ballast and as soon as it has arrived, I will paint the track and ballast it properly. I don´t like the plastic look and hope that it will improve quite a bit after weathering and ballasting. Ray - I watched the video - this form of transport is most unusual. Normally, they have a set of trucks put under the loco, which then get pulled by a road switcher type Diesel loco to Hamburg. Takes a lot less time and effort. Some time back, I have seen the first batch of ALP46 locos being brought to Hamburg this way. Flo, just a coffee for me, please. Have a good one!
