    Track drawing software?

    TC if you enjoy doing this part of the hobby you and I need to talk as this is probably the hardest part for me to accomplish. I can see it in my head but can't seem to get it down on paper. The work you have done on Mike's plan is fantastic, the detail and graphics are both excellent.Thanks Pat

    Question for the Ebayers in the crowd

    Petey, I for one would already be on the watch for this guy, you can usually "assume" that someone is not asking a question like this because of a good experience. If it was good I'm sure Catt would have said so. So add a grain of salt and take it for what it is. Pat

    Under the Benchwork
