The Pines and Prairies S Scale Workshop visited last Thursday, we also had a
special guest, Bill Moitz, his wife and son dropped by for the evening. There
was an amazing amount of work done, Ron Kemp is moving along with Kermits,
Steve Doyle was building the Gravely Building, Jamie was building leg extenders
for his module, Tom Lennon complete the bridge ties so the upper line can be
put back in service. Ted Larson and Jim Malone put one section of the railroad
through it paces, they found a turnout with tight flangeways. I found that
interesting as this particular spot had been worked extensively a few weeks
ago. I need to check back to back and flange widths to see if the different
manufacturers standards caused the problem. Either way, the flanges were a bit
tight, now there are not and everything runs through there. Ben documented his
challenge with the SD-70's so they will make their appearance another night. I
hope to have the bridge and upper line open when that happens. I neglected to
ask Ben if all this conversation on couplers covered any ground that has not
been covered at least twice a year for the last 5-10 years. I will remember to
ask Ben that next week.
Well, I need to get going, I am traveling to Denver to attend the funeral of
Uncle Gordy, what a guy. One of the nicest men I have had the pleasure to
know. I helped him get his book done about his experience in WWII. It was an
honor to be able to assist him. I saw the cartoon about St. Gilbert and the
third rail. Seems he was dressed in Green similar to St. Patrick. That must
be why Saint Patrick's day is the day after S Scale day. If I don't remember
have a happy S Scale Day on 3/16 and St. Patty's day on 3/17.
