Sorry Bill, After reading my post I realize that my intent didn't come across. What I was trying to say is that everyone has to make their own value judgments about what's important to them. Trains are a ways down on my list. Only you can decide how far up they are on yours and therefore how much effort to put into them. There are times when I think my time would be better spent throwing a ball for my dog :o) Ed Kozlowsky Sanford, Maine http://www.sscale.com/
