Good Morning, it´s too hot to sleep. Yesterday´s temperatures went up to 90 F, which is most unusual for our region and time of the year. Did not cool down much during the night. Flo, coffee and a breakfast bagel, please. Simon, thanks for the kudos which I have to pass on to an unknown Japanese model railroader. I found this way of building a layout on a Japanese web page. It is a simplified version of the T-Trak modular system, which has a number of followers in the US as well. It is easy to build, does not involve a lot of woodworking skills & tools and, foremost, does not involve a lot of money. You can also extend the layout quite easily by just adding new modules. Of course, there are also some drawbacks - the Kato Unitrack is rather expensive and the system´s geometry is quite rigid, not allowing for sweeping curves. But you can´t win them all [:-^] I have some of the clump foliage left that Ken had sent me - with a little luck it will be sufficient to scenic this module. I am also trying to weather the portal and wall with a wash of india ink to get rid of the plastic look. Ken - no, this is not one of the portals you sent me. Those Chooch portals are to nice to be "wasted" on this module - they are reserved for a much more dramatic module, which is also more visible than this one. The vacuum cleaner died for good. It´s the switch which went out - the replacement will cost about $ 100 (!) - too much, so it´ll go to the dump. $ 100 will buy you a new one. Seems as if we are quite a talkative bunch this month! Have a good one!
