and my Saturday was spent in getting the Ridge ready for a magazine shoot at the end of next month! Repainted 3 B/mann passenger coaches, reglazed the switch tower, pulled weeds, today I'm gonna re-ballast and fertilize so that it's looking good as we progress into Spring. Best Regards, Phil

Jun: I believe they are talking about a flat piece of steel with a stub of 3/16" round stock screwed into it. The wheel fits over the round stock, gets secured(with a nut on the round stock) and you mount that fixture in your drill press. When you have measured 10mm from the center of the axle

Hi, After six years, Mr. Lunkenheimer has developed a sure way to wake me up when he feels I need to be roused from a deep sleep. I remove both hearing aids when I go to bed, so for all practical purposes, I am deaf. At 5:14 AM this morning as I was peacefully sleeping, a cold wet nose invaded

Walt, Keep that dog around -- in general, they're smarter than we are. (Ever see a dog in a suit and tie, for example?) I hope Gordon misses you by a long way, in fact misses Florida altogether. If it's gonna hit, why not clear out Myrtle Beach? -vance-

My dogs, who are both dead now, knew when earthquakes were going to hit. Sometimes many hours before they happened. They went crazy when the Big Bear quake hit 25 miles from my house. (So did I, I was in my workshop.) On another note Jackie and I spent the day designing the new track
