Sleeper - Norwegian root sleip - a timber some info on my sleeper question From another list and more digging seems that the term 'sleeper' may have come from the Norwegian word 'sleip' for timber, as well as the horizontal position that resembles a sleeping person . Maybe long ago someone...

sleepers? This may be a good thread to ask a question that i've often wondered about. From where did the term 'sleepers' originate? I just learned what a 'platelayer' is; this begets the question. I believe 'sleeper' is a British term for what is called a 'tie' or 'crosstie' in other parts...

This is great, Val! Didn't catch this earlier. Yet another DOTKWA model, looks like one could just walk in, sit down and order a hot dog and a coke. Didn't some of these old diners have a pinball machine or two in a corner for the younger crowd? (hint hint :D )

No, you are not out of line. This is another darn good question, and i will try to answer as best i can. Remember, i have not seen this problem either, but i don't run DCC or a ham radio station any more and am wondering if it actually could be a problem. Big differences today. Most TVs...
