Hi gang. It's 82*F with a SW breeze here in MD, a cool front passed thru about 90 minutes ago!
Dave in MN: Have you thought about possibly using "swappable" structures to multiply your photo opportunities? I remember an article in MR a few years back, by somebody who did exactly that. Gave him the chance to setout different car types on different days at the same spot.
Sherrell - Bummer about that heat, too bad you can't take your RV northward to some cooler location!
Chet - I keep getting inspired by your town scenes, seems like I could step right into them.
Eric - hang in there, hopefully you'll soon be getting the treatment you desperately need!
Louis, looks like you are teaching your grandsons the good ol' American work ethic - bravo!
Corey, feel free to keep on posting here every day you get thru without "picking up", that actually also helps guys like Mel and myself stay sober!
Mel - trestle's lookin' good! Wish I had an excuse to put one of those on
my layout, but I simply don't have the real estate...
Curt - Glad to hear your son is recovering, seems like I keep finding more people who have been touched by this wretched disease! Sorry to hear about your wasted wiring efforts and trip to ACe, at least now everything is working again!
Greg - welcome to the Coffee Shop. I, too, have had my share of battles with malfunctioning switches!
Garry I remember you telling us about your SIL. Tragic, but at least she had the two of you to help ease her suffering.
Beady - looks like you could use some help with a
different type of problem...!

Just went thru some protracted discomfort of my own earlier this evening: Had to crouch down under the layout to run some wires for a new signal mast I erected at the gate of the auto plant. Had to lean over sideways and hold my cordless drill at an angle to install cable clamps in some places; then there was the soldering. This is one of the top three activities I
dislike about the hobby. Oh well "no-pain-no-gain", at least the new signal is fully functional now.
Later...
