Good Afternoon: Dickiee: I just couldn't get as far north as you live to see your layout because of the time restraints, but I really do appriciated the offer. The reason that I was leery of buying it was, I'm a feely - touchy person and like to see what I'm laying out that much money for. I was at CMR over four hours before I bought the TT. I've read the instructions three times and looked at the kit for several days while on the road. If this TT looks half as good as I think it will, I'll be very pleased. Cliff (CMR owner) talked to me about this product and also told me where to be carefull when putting it together. It looks like a 16 to 20 hour construction project. I've built a Diamond Scale and I think that this one will be better. I haven't decided how to power it yet, as it sits on the edge of the layout so I don't have to have the indexing kit even thou it would be nice. I'm going to wait and see how much use it gets, in the mean time it will be powered with the 0-5-0. It's going to be a couple of months before I start this project as I want to finish my mainline. I also got to look at three of the layouts he was working on and was very much impressed. I didn't get to see any operations but the track was straight, well laid, turnout placements were well thought out, and well excuted. I think that quality of work carries through from one project to another as a way of life. If you have any other questions let me know. Rex: I just got back off vacation and visited several forum members from as far away as Halifax, Nova Scotia, I live eighty eight miles east of Houston on I-10. I was in Digitrax, catching up on gossip and meeting people that I've been talking to for over four years and decided to go down I-85 and spend the night in Montgomery. If I had known about you and been able to set up a visit, I could have gone on I-20 and spent the night in Birmingham, and then come see you. I went to your webb site and was impressed with your layout. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
