got maybe 2" of snow in the night, still snowing, dry snow, tiny flakes, well im out the door, heading to work.

ya they wanted me to have a PET scan in 2004 but the ins said no, so i never got one, and they did not want to pay for this one, took a nurse and the doc most of the day to talk them into paying, lots of calls.

well, doc's office just called, not good. well the good part is that the ins will pay for the PET scan, i have that done on Dec 31st. then i go talk to the iowa city surgeon on jan 10th. and then go from there. the nurse that called said that the spot, what they called a nodule is like 3/4 of an...

dang, look at the overhang that flat car in the middle pic has....lol what curve track is that? i have a lionel husky stack car that looks like that on 036 curves. the car is 18" long i think, coupler to coupler .

ummm... you better set aside a couple weeks just for band of brothers......10 hours long i think, i had mine a year and not to the end yet.

i had read somewhere that one or two of the track manufactures was going to a thin center rail, like a 1/16' blade. as it looks more "realistic" harder to see the center rail, i think the price of the track was going to cost more then the old style tho. i cant remember what brands now...

spanky, are them railking flat cars? i like alot of the cars mth puts on their flatcars, but i dont think they ever really hauled cars like that in real life....lol

home for lunch here, i think us o-scalers should post about the whole 1:43, 1:48, 1:50 thing in the o scale forum, and when it all gets figured out what is what them pin it to the top so others that are unsure can see it.

back to work for me today, getting ready to head out the door, hopping to get a call from the doc today, i cant take to many more days of waiting.

true 0 scale is 1:48 in the USA, i THINK that 1:43 is what the brits call o scale, or 00. in the USA at least its hard to find 1:48 scale cars and trucks, but it can be done. most use 1:43 and 1:50 as substitute. as far as i know anything that is 027 is not true 0- scale. i used to have...
