Thank you guys for all the help. I've been reading your replies on my phone while on my breaks at work but, since I've been refurbishing a house over the last two weeks, in addition to my two normal jobs, I simply haven't had the chance to reply. Since the rain foiled our plans for today, I finally have the chance to reply.
I'm hoping to finish my first trunk this Tuesday (when I only work 1 job) and possibly start attaching the branches. One idea I've come up with is to insert a brass tube into the bottom of the trunk and put a larger brass tube in the module so that I could repeatedly remove the tree without damaging the module as I suspect the toothpick and styrofoam technique would. I'll try to post pictures soon. --- In [email protected], Howard Sheffield <hjsheff@...> wrote: > > Hi Michael > > I have some photos of the White Pass RR as it goes up to the tree lines that > I could share off list if anyone wants to see what happens.
