Nice pics Alan, did you make those trusses?

 

[Alan Curtis]

Yes Lynn, i made a jig and used balsa wood and superglue. Have a jig made for a different type of truss but only made one, so far.

Isn't balsa wood kind of porous for using superglues?

Hi Alan, I really like watching your layout progress but unfortunately your video did not work on my computer! I don't have any problems with youtube videos or the ones that Tony used.

Enjoy your videos Alan, good stuff. Heard you give 2 toots of the horn when moving forward, but not the 3 toots when reversing, or the single toot when stopping. If you have Tsunami's in your locos, they can be set-up to do all of them automatically by the throttle. And if you're using an NCE Power or Pro-Cab, the Cab thumbwheel can be configured to control forward movement when scrolled up and reverse when scrolled down past 000. Very handy for switching moves.. These things may be possible with other systems, but that is the one I am familiar with.

Nice job, Alan. Thanks!

Looks good, like the ground work.
