Keep me in mind for some switches. What size curves do you use?

 

[oldtanker]

Standard that comes with a starter set. I think 18".

Got in the 50's today, I managed to have time to buy some mini lights for my roundhouse project as usual they did not have enough lights, but it is a start. Can you imagine radioshack only having three sets in the drawer.

Gil: I think oldtanker is using Bachman HO track.

Picked up the Polar Express Diner from repair today -- total cost under $10, mostly labour. (broken pin uder coupling).

good morning everyone! Its 30, supposed to stay there today. My grandson loved the new bench work. He would stop the train near the tank transporter say he had stuff for the Army guys, then at the elevator to get "stuff" there, then he would run the train the the Christmas houses saying I have to be in Fergus (a town near us) on time......he's 3.

Grandkids are great!

Morning all. Up early. Had great day at the lake. Nose started running when I was pitting up the boat last night. Woke up early this AM with cold [again]. Going to do some work on layout today but Dr's apt at 1 [Dermatologist]. Starbucks in the pot now so I will drink some. Tanker, email me at feagles1@nc.rr.com and I will email you my layout plan [put something in the title about my layout plans as it might go to Spam folder]. It is in O but might give you some ideas. Mostly 072 curves and switches [a couple 054]. All have a good one.

Morning all. Had to take cough med last night. Trying to stay awake now. More coffee needed. Ran first train on temp track on new layout. Wanted to say I had done it. Off to visit retired 87 year old pilot friend of mine. Going to do some traget shooting [he loves that]. Back tomorrow evening. BTW: lows in the 40's and highs in the upper 60's. :thumb:

Wow - - good deal!!!!

40's going on high 60's to mid-70's. Typical desert weather. Looking for rain this weekend, but we've been looking for that now for close to three months. El Nino is suppose to change that this coming year. Typically we're looking at around 10" of rain a year. The wettest year in history in the Phoenix area was around 16". That doesn't happen that often, but it's something to look forward to for 2007.:thumb:

Nice here to day.
