Hey Guys,

My wife left to go on her yearly mission trip to Nicaragua.

She left last Sunday and will be gone for 12 days.She runs the medical mission that is part of a larger over all mission trip.

I always take this time of for a stay-cation. I usually get alot of work done. Last year I got most of the Modular I built together during this time.

This year I am working hard on getting most of the indoor layout in place.

I have spent the last three days pulling my shop apart and negotiating terms for a right of way for the railroad to go through. Well I threw away a bunch of junk. and I have cut holes in walls and cleared out enough room for the train to go all the way around my shop. It come out to about 96 ft of main line which is not bad for and indoor layout in this scale...

Frank,

My day starts at 3:15 Tuesday - Friday. That gives me time to get up get dressed and have afew minutes to get a couple things done.

I am really a pleased with the turnouts. They are designed for outdoor use and the rails are double spiked at each tie. I got the weatherd rail which is a charcoal grey. I may hand weather them a different color.

For the price they can't be beat. If you check them against the kits that are out there or the pre made ones they are very reasonable.

4:14 am? You better check your alarm clock; I think its set wrong.

The weathered boards look great. I’m really liking those switches. Much better than the ones we bought. They were and still are a struggle to get them to operate correctly. The idea of no hinge in the point rails is nice, one less thing to go wrong.

Well Santa came yesterday.

I got all the turnouts that I ordered. They came in nicely packed. They are really beautiful turnouts. Nicely built and are very sturdy. I am using these with DCC and had the micro switch option installed. Bruce "at Switchmasters" Puts a waterproof mircoswitch Between the Switch-point rails to make sure the polarity Is correct.
