Erv, Have a couple of questions. What's your schedule before and after the meet. It looks like I will be the only one coming down, as Mary has three other things going on. Write her [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask her what they are. What's happening on Saturday? I've set aside a couple of days on either side of the Sunday for travel and whatever! Do you have an empty bed that I could crash on? I don't want to impose if you've got other things going on. I can always stay at Char's if need be. The BAGRS locomotive has been totally rebuilt in 7/8ths and I think that I finally have a firm order for a Midwest boiler and engine etc. Got the gears ordered yesterday and some brass shapes today. It may even run by your open house - provided everyone delivers. Of course the problem is clearances. Still haven't heard from Potomac about the original order placed about 6 weeks ago. I heard that they were closed down for about 5 weeks while on business trip or something. Heck of a way to run a business. Also have a 20' long 7/8ths flat car almost completed. It needs truss rods and brake wheel installed and lettered and it will be complete. It weighs a ton and a half but looks really impressive. Let me know, Bruce On Sun, 16 Jul 2000 20:09:11 -0000, you wrote: >Steamup on the Burlington Township Tramway, Sunday August 13, 2000. > >Half way between Chicago O'Hare and Rockford, Illinois > >Dual 45mm and 32 mm main line.
