I found a new jig saw yesterday. It has 7 speeds and turbo and it has a spot for the blades. All for $40. ICC is doing good right now. How are your railroads doing?

good. the IC Ry. has 2-6 trains a day; most are short (less than 10 car) locals. I might get another Atlas U33C soon. I learned 1 thing today- well cars and trailers don't mix. Unless i put a makeshift carboard floor in the well car those trailers ofter fall through causing a derailment. I prefer the looks of a double-stack train anyway so i might have containers instead of trailers.

Sounds good Dinoix. The well cars have to be all purpose well cars to carry trailers.
