Is it officially dead? Jim Take the red pill Country: USA | Posts: 6338 k9wrangler Engineer Posted - 06/12/2015 :  10:07:08 PM     Lying in state. Interest in the interchange concept ebbed the last time it was done and Bruce, et al, gave it a 'time out' Mega Dittos Karl Scribner Manistique, Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 12101 BurleyJim Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/12/2015 :  11:00:58 PM     My grandson's middle name!

James Country: USA | Posts: 6916 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 06/14/2015 :  12:17:42 PM     We could give it another try if there are enough members interested in the same scale. Up till now, the exchange was in HO. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33527 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/14/2015 :  5:01:24 PM     Bruce, How about a call for volunteers, with a January commencement as before? By then I should have actual railroad on which to play!

Country: USA | Posts: 183 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/14/2015 :  11:17:42 PM       Mike, that size USPS box is in fact what I shipped Tom Langford's HO scale 50 ton hopper in after it completed its run. It arrived OK, but the 1 5/8" depth is tight - I'd worry about a car with separate grabs. James Country: USA | Posts: 6916 k9wrangler Engineer Posted - 06/15/2015 :  09:56:09 AM     Postage cost and delays in moving traffic along were issues the last time. Mega Dittos Karl Scribner Manistique, Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 12101 RonH56 Fireman Posted - 06/21/2015 :  2:14:50 PM     I would love to give it another try, the thread was very interesting to watch unfold.

Podunk, New England Country: USA | Posts: 1065 mainetrains Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/28/2015 :  4:12:07 PM     I would love to see the interchange come back. I enjoyed my time participating in it. My layout came down near the end of the last interchange but I'm in the process of planning a new one. Only problem, I'm pretty sure this layout will be N. Maybe we could see if there is any interest in an N scale interchange? Dave P.S. I'm pretty sure Turtle & Preacher can be resurrected in N scale!!!

Did they go over (or under) the wall? The world wonders!
