Good Morning! The days of great heat and humidity seem to be over and I am glad for that. I just feel so much better when it stays a little cooler and dry! [quote user="hon30critter"]Have fun with your 'new' Marklin track![/quote] Dave - I certainly will. It´s not much track, basically the same oval I got for Christmas 1963. As I still have the little station building that came with it I can re-enact my childhood days with it. OK, the loco is a different one and I don´t have any cars, but maybe one fine day ... I just hope my loco will be able to negotiate those minimum radius curves of 29cm! And now for something completely different and not train related at all. I came across and old film made in 1963, showing the making of a Porsche 356. It is incredible how much skill and craftsmanship were necessary to build them back then. It also shows how primitive the cars were, compared to our today´s overly complex monsters. I have my doubts, that the cars we drive today will still be seen on our roads. While it will be possible to maintain the mechanics in 40 years from today, all the electronic devices will most likely be lost and beyond repair. Well, here is the video! <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tbFu1r_erw0" width="425" height="350"></iframe> Enjoy listening to Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche and designer of the legendary Porsche 911, giving the introduction - with a terrible German accent (like mine!)
