Good Evening Guys,
Hi Flo and Francine, how are things going for you both? I'll just have some coffee for now. I see some of the other guys are here already, ya, there's Karl and Jeffery.
Today it was a bit sunny but I don't think it got much over about 50* then around 3:00Pm it became overcast again and cooled down even more.
Last night I was out in the garage looking at the way I had laid out the turn table and Central Valley tie strips leading into the Ridgecrest Engine facility as I don't think I'm making optimal use of my space along with the fact I'd like a longer tail track straight through from the main lead in track but then again that may not be necessary? I'm just thinking of possibly having a place to store some Maintenance of way car like a work train when not in use. It would mean pulling up what little bit I have spiked down but that minimal as well as I think it too close to the lower tunnel Portal to look realistic.
It's things like this that hold me up but that's half the fun of creating a layout, isn't it?
Say Jeffrey, Sorry to hear about your Mom and your Dad being so uneasy, I know it's no fun having to go through that situation.
Say Karl, Yes they do have grass fires here in Calif. and indeed some the Calif Forestry sets as a control burn to prevent other fires. Sometimes though the control burns get out of hand when the guy upstairs decides to cause the wind to blow which change what was supposed to be controlled to Uncontrolled in short order!
Karl I though I ask if you or others have had the same problem with a Rivarossi Dockside, I know yours is different, but mine seems to want to run fine and then it seems like if wants to bind up and I'm not quite sure where the problem lies?
If you or anyone else has had similar problems it would bed good to hear what was done or what the problem was determined to be?
