Might have to compromise on my desire to have the passing siding visibly lower than the main [like the prototype], but having my trains stay together is more important.
KenMD: Sort of works that way more often than not. We can only go so far in emulating the prototype. Perhaps if the vertical transition was further from the switch?
Karl: Ken's right, it's SMNBO (She must not be obeyed), from now on.
Mark D: Good news about your wife. Bronchitis is not pleasant, I normally get it once or twice per year. Pneumonia, is much worse. Hopefully she wil shake it soon.
Curt: The finished tower really looks great. The reduced power lighting makes a big difference. The building itself, looks familiar, what is the tower a model of? Any place in particular?
B.Bob & Sherrel: I would not be surprised if it was Verizon, either. I recently purchased a new Smart-phone through them, and they sent me an e-mail, asking for my e-mail address because they didn't have it on file...
Their new and improved phone app is really off the wall goofy.
Chet: The diner siding is nice, but FWIW, a B&O passenger train, lost as it may be in the Logan Valley, would look real good.
Seriously, I really enjoyed yesterday's photos also. That blowing snow is annoying. Only thing worse, is intense wind driven lake effect snow, or perhaps a sand storm.
I'm waiting on a package of sale merchandise from Walthers, to begin installing actual scenery on a portion of my layout. I decided that I need to lower my "movable" bridge. Good thing it's movable, as I have to remove the bridge shoes, to get the height right, then add the bridge tenders control enclosure on the back side. While I'm doing this, I can finish the creek bed and maybe pour the water. I'm also waiting on an order from Kleins, with Micro Engineering Code 70 #6 switches to reverse the crossover on the East side. Will make for a smoother transition, and provide a second runaround. As
KenMD, found out following the prototype doesn't always translate on the layout.
