Thanks Sawyer, even though those weren't the ones i meant! I should have specified that I was talking about the last post with a certain Norfolk Southern unit leading the Toys For Tots Train...

Yeah, no modeling at all for me... I've been way too busy.
Last weekend, I was busy with real trains. See my last post here for more on that.
This week, teachers tried to cram tests in before break.Now, I'm trying to write a 5 page paper, and procrastination is winning.Next week, teachers are crammng in even more tests in the last two days before break.
But over break, if I get time (and money), then the modeling can resume.
The electrical problems are SOLVED!!!!! I feel so stupid! I forgot the turnout had a live frog and I powered the track going from the turnout, thus a short developed in the point rails. It was solved by simply putting some insulated rail joiners on the inside rail of the outside track, and on the outside rail of the inside track. This morning, I had a long operating session of reshuffling the cars to their appropriate spurs. I HAD A BLAST!!!!!
On another note, the main finals week is over, and I only have one more final on monday. Once thats done, Ill model to my heart's content.

IVRW IM ALIVE!!!! Finals have been a real pain. I have done almost nothing for a month because I was back in FL, and this time, I didnt bring my layout with me. Check out my website for the whole story. (YES! GASP! I DID UPDATE THAT THING!!!) Are finals bringing you all down as well? What have I missed?

PSST: Your website loads like the molasses you're logging around, (I blame that stupid fruit) so I'm posting a response here.
RE: Big Ditches. How's a Creek grad ya? One of the gaps at the NWR formed by the lifthout is hidden with somewhagt loose foliage, a small wooden bridge, and a drainage ditch pipe. All is attached to the liftout except the pipe, which sits at the bacl corner of the joint and don't move. Works quite well. Another wpu;d be tp [ark a few large, weeping willows at one edge to draw the eyes away. I'd be leery of plastering, fir fear of having to literally chse\l the modues apart next move. Next Modules, you might build the top and bottoms to fit over each other so the gap isn't straght through.

Just got back from my first semester away at college and this was waiting for me. Runs well so far and sounds good like my CSX sd70ace.
The birth of the CSRY (check out youtube).
I haven't been around much either. layout progress is nonexistant as I don't have any ballast for the track. and then rugby has started,a dn school has been giving the final push until Christmas.
I have mid-terms this up-coming week. the semester ends in January, but they have exams before Christmas break so that we don't ahve to study/worry abt them over the break.
Finals? We have those in June...Our midterms are towards the end of January, the week fo MLK day, I believe.
What have I done? Go to my post, read about the whole chain of events with 1002 (all after getting it eleven months late...). And in my signature, click on the "Tri State Rail" link, and go to the constuction blog.That's about it.

Wow, the WRS track gang uses really big pliers! They look almost 87 sizes too big!

Genset problem resolved. When they first came out, Atlas sent out an email about incompatibility problems with the MRC Tech 6. No problem for me because I don't own one.
But, later, they found that using them as a DC unit on a DCC system would also fry the circut board, but they never sent out a follow-up email saying this. So I had no way of knowing. This is why after using it for all of about 30 seconds on a DCC system, it stopped.
Fortunately, Atlas says they will replace the boards for free. I'll be calling them in the next few days for a return number for the warranty work.
I've been ripping up track. Here's the WRS track gang at Enfield.
I'm bugging...
My Genset just died. I have no clue what's going on. See the thread here: http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/183501.aspx
Whoops, apparently I missed the memo last night. Thanks to Jordan for pointing me in the right direction.
I guess it's a good time to move, considering we had the first snow on Thursday.
Packers#1 Chris, sounds like some nice acquisitions. Any pics?

When in doubt. grab a hammer.
If it moves and isn't supposed to, get a hammer
If it doesn't move and is supposed to, get a hammer
If it's broken, get a hammer
If it can't be fixed with a hammer... DUCK TAPE!
Brrrr, it's getting cold... In other news here is the current plan for the 4x8. I should be making a mega track order in the next couple weeks.
