    Hello, now is the time to introduce myself.

    Welcome Paul, Sounds like your off to a great start. Post some pics... I haven't done much with my layout lately. I'm in Fl. and I consider the last few months as the best outdoor weather. It will be getting hot soon and that's when I stay indoors and do the work. In the a/c of course. Have fun...

    So I could disconnect the head light or add a light to the B unit. It does have a side window on each side. Maybe that would work. Thx.......

    Project under Construction

    Well, I've been doing some work, but sometimes I think about things more than I work. I have started some of the scenery (landscape) but am not as far along as I would like to be.

    Project under Construction

    I just took some pics using 640x480 and to say the least the quality stinks. I will try the 800x600 to see how that works but that will have to wait now. I want to finish the last 2 lines at the upper end so I can start with some scenery. Thanks for the tips though.
