Bill's saga probably goes on, the area he lives in has really been hit hard over the last 48 hours. Possibly 10 to 12 inches of rain, in areas near him.. Major roads closed and damaged, major flooding, etc. I am not sure exactly where he lives, but many of the roads in the area are closed, including the PA Turnpike as of 5 PM. Hershey Park is under water. AMTRAK hasn't run the Keystone Main for 2 days, trees in catenary, not enough diesels to cover it, IF it were open. At least two deaths so far. Fire Depts from 30 to 40 miles away going in to help pump out basements. Hershey is flooding, Harrisburg is flooding, some flooding in York, flooding in Lebanon, Marietta, Columbia, etc. Jim Lyle In a message dated 9/8/2011 9:15:05 P.M.

If you get water in the basement just switch your prototype layout to the FEC to Key West. John Armstrong ----- Original Message ----- From: Willam Fraley To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 10:05 AM Subject: {S-Scale List} Del-Aire Many thanks to all the Del-Aire responders on this list, you have helped my friend Rich very much. It does seem that a very common problem with the Del-Air toggles is that they break off very easily. Another thing became very noticeable; that is, many model railroaders now use the Tortoise switch machines, they seem to be the favorite now-a-days. One has to wonder why Craig won't sell off his Del-Aire business, as it appears there is still a demand for the product? From what I'm told, it is all still there, just like it was in use yesterday. Perhaps the Tortoise [and the like] have taken over the switch machine market in model railroading? I'm sure you are aware of the many tropical storms we are having on the entire [U.S. of A.] Eastern Coast. Unfortunately, yesterday Hershey and central Pennsylvania got dumped on, like six inches of rain in and hour or so, plus all that we had already had, raising it to 10 inches.. Well, about 1:30 yesterday, my basement started leaking around the stair-well area. I very seldom if ever get water in my basement, but it did, and now I'm vacuuming up water out of the carpet. The Jefferson Central sits above all that, so the trains still run, but folks I'm old and this ain't easy. Frankly, I did use pre-caution preparations for this one, but the rain was so heavy my preps just gave out. Mary and I are so fortunate, many of our friends [in town] had their basements totally emerged in water. (According to my son, you can pick up on all this on WHP.com. - http://www.whptv.com/default.aspx) Bobby (Werre) , we'd love to send you people in Texas all of this water! Once again gang, thanks again, when the call goes out, you sure are very helpful.
