Ed, For the record, I would have much rather have been at the convention drinking beer(s) with you and my Father (my railroad's purchasing agent). But, since it didn't work out this year I figured I would make a little progress on the layout in honor the big "S" week. I will shoot some video a little later as there is still much work to be done and I have to figure out how to load the videos to You Tube....I will try to snap a few pictures of the fast tracks turnouts and the curves and post them to the group over the next few days.

Y'see, conventions do have some advantages -- good liquid refreshments. Yes, we were talking about you to some extent. Any chance for a video showing the stack cars swinging into the superelevated curves? Sam Powell used to have layout with a superelevated S-curve so the cars leaned to the left and then swung over and leaned to the right as they were traveling toward the viewer. Neat...!! Having fun....Ed L. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
