Good Morning! We had a bad storm last night, but things have calmed down by now. No major damage in my neck of the woods, but lots of damage all over the country! I am done with my Sunday HD list and waiting for lunch to be ready. Today´s fare will be a salmon cassarole, with salmon, potatoes, onions, carrots, spices, covered with grated cheese - yummy! I am still having second thoughts about my layout plan. I like it very much, but I am afraid I won´t be able to finish it. It´s going to be quite a drain on the budget - the track I need is another $ 220, including switch motors. I haven´t calculated the items I need for the catenary, but assume that will be another $ 200. Add to that about $ 60 for the lumber I need, $ 20 for the cork roadbed and $ 40 for all the stuff I need for wiring the layout. At the rate I can save up money for it, it´ll take me more than 3 years for the basics, i.e. before I can run trains. That´s quite a long time. I am still looking for something simpler, but equally nice and satisfying to build, but no luck yet. There are a number of nice small N scale track plans in the web, but I canot adapt them to German railroading practices. It´s like squaring the circle... Have a good one!
