At long last, a blog update! I truly appreciate the continued page visits, and I hope your patience will be rewarded by the new posts. Happy railroading! Efram

I use CVT tie strips and ME track. I glue and lay the rail first, being mindful of where my feeders will be coming up through the road bed. I make sure the webbing is cleared for the track feeders. Once the track is installed, I solder the feeders to the underside of the rail. I usually tin...

That's a good idea, and I suspect I was too liberal with the glue. Those clumps look so good, I hope I can make them work. Also, I would be pleased to work on some D&H units :)

The dispute has been entered, but they give him 15 days to respond, I think.... it's just disappointing and I'm surprised someone on the forum could be so brazen...

...still nothing....

So I've entered a payment dispute with paypal, he still hasn't responded... hope he's ok.

That's not the issue. He initially took 5 days and a prompt to acknowledge the receipt of the paypal payment. After that point, he has twice not responded ( after a further 5 days) for a simple confirmation of shipment and tracking number.
