Ray, you are much too neat for my tastes.
Jim you are the first person to ever accuse me being "much too neat"...... There will be a plexiglass strip mounted on the front edge and Sturdy bumpers on each end of it. I too don't want any of my steamers doing the high dive! I also have heard horror stories of shorts on program tracks from accidentally running a locomotive into the block when the block was set to program. There are other ways to guard against that but this solution will put it right next to the computer as well.......
I spent the day at the annual RIT train Tracks meet. Great bunch of students in the club. One of them greeted me at the door, acquired a cart and helped me get my materials to our table. They have a world class layout and freemo layout at the club. More here: http://www.ritmrc.org/
This is what I did most of the day:
Assembled an Accurail boxcar and decaled it and an old Overton coach that will become a "temporary" Freight House on the SLOW.
My partner in Crime for the day Ned (MMR):
Our display:
And a couple of the entire show in the Field House at RIT (not a huge show but very well attended). Look for the Red Tablecloth.......:
