Afternoon All,
Had really bad reflux last night so I was up and down with it. Started out with chores then cleared part of the layout off to figure out mounting the Viaduct bridge. When I took it off the last layout I placed it on a new yardstick before bubble wrapping it but I discovered today when unwrapping it all the bracing and supports had come loose
. I did some initial measurements on the layout then glued it back together this time with CA and it has weight on it overnight.
I tried the Alt 0176 twice but my computer kicks me off here to a Google search page. I tried twice. I'm done with it.
Garry- Nice job on the PA's. I don't understand why anyone would park on a RR track. I watched a video years ago that was taken in Mexico I believe where a gas tanker truck did and when the train hit it it exploded causing the death by burning alive of a lot of people.
Terry- I think it's easier to type degree...just saying, or just add a F or C after the value.
Willie- The garage is a nice little structure.
Joe- Nice pictures. Try to stay dry.
Sherrel-Thank you. I'm basically at a stand still until the AR module comes in on Wednesday. I forgot to order it earlier. Subs typically have a 18 hour day. Six hours on watch and 12 hours off. In the off time you have divisional work, ships work, training, drilling (for casualties), eating, qualifications for ship and watch station, possibly a movie or games like cribbage, and anything else your boss can dream up. It's not uncommon to go 24-36 hours without sleep. One time I had to go 48 hours without sleep (I was dragging). It's mostly a lot of work and boredom punctuated by periods of intense action. No the movies are not realistic. Part of the draw is being part of a small elite group and you do some neat things that you aren't allowed to talk about. It's definitely a young mans game.
Troy- I like the grey blue color with the clouds.
James- Sounds like you've been really busy.
Dave- Nice progress on your layout.
Alan- Two nice videos.
Chad- Another nice looking loco and passenger cars.
Chet- Thank you Great layout scenes and 1:1 photo. I can't take credit for the rock faces. A company called Cripplebush Valley Models makes them out of a flexible plastic/rubber material that I apply with a hot glue gun. You can search for rubber rocks and they will be one of the options.
I hope everyone has a good night.
