Afternoon Folks! Janie, coffee and cake, please! Chocolate cake with walnuts - fine with me, thank you! Sort of a strange day today. It´s election day, and we are supposed to cast our vote for the European Parliament. Petra and I decided not to vote, as we don´t see any party or person actually representing our interests. We don´t believe in the EU, nor a single European currency, as it has brought economic downfall, impoverishment to millions and misery to Europe. Any past attempt to unify Europe has failed and ended in bloodshed, and we don´t want that to happen again. Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm II. and Hitler failed - Merkel will also fail. We want to be friends and good neighbors, not brothers. I could go on, there are many more issues, but better to go back to model railroading. Just  a lst word on it - I am so glad I am in a position to create my own little world. It keeps me from getting anxious over the way the world is heading. I cleaned up the layout a little, but that´s all I will do today and, in fac, in the next days. My friend and I will attack the wiring next week, so I can run my locos on the layout! <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070578_zpsc100d7d4.jpg" alt=" " /> The next big thing will be either the backdrop or ballasting. Does anyone have a clue how to calculate how much ballast I will need? I have always bought way too much in the past and I don´t want to waste money this time. The ballast I wnt to order is sold by weight. 2.2 lbs cost about $ 15. Would that be enough?
