Garry - [angel] for your Mom! Good Afternoon! It´s a bit of a lazy day, i.e. I am not up to much today, just letting time pass by. I am a wee bit miffed - while running the evening train on my layout, the loco lost one of its traction tires and I just can´t get it back again! It´s really not a big issue, but it is the last drop making the bucket flow over! I am pretty much fed up by having to tinker with those Bemo locos all the time to keep them running. I am not the only one complaining about the poor built quality of that stuff - splitting gears, brittle plastic, detail parts breaking of, noisy gears, paint that rubs off, decals that fade - this list is endless. Compared to my old Marklin electric loco, Bemo locos are just a piece of beep (expletive, deleted)! The Marklin loco is like new, rock-solid, nothing fading, rubbing off, breaking apart! I will be disposing of the layout and all of that stuff soon - another lesson learned - stay with the trusted things! I have to add that I bought my first Bemo Swiss narrow gauge loco 40 years ago and sold it in disgust - for the same reasons. They have not learned a thing when it comes to quality! I am angry! [8o|] On the bright side, the last two pieces of track I need for the tiny Z scale layout have arrived. The two pcs. of uncoupling track have a regular retail price of over $50 and I got them for $18 - brand new and not a flake of dust on the box! That makes me happy! Contsruction of the layout will start soon - my friend Claus is all itchy to help me with the "benchwork" I am more than worried about our friend Galaxy. He has been away a number of times, but never that long. My email to him is yet unanswered. I hope his OK. That´s all from me for the moment, I will just sit here at the RC, looking out of the window, watching the switcher switch.
