    And so it begins...

    Well, I have finally started laying down ballast and some ground cover on Moe Hill. (Insert applause here) It started with a large gravel hill to serve as bumpers at the end of my siding and kinda grew from there. And I think I am actually getting it right! The ground cover is sticking to the...

    A bad day

    April/May of 1967? Hmm, I was spitting up milk then. (I was born Feb. of that year.) I knew there was something special about those F units! No matter how hard you try, you just can't flip one! Michael (F7, the Timex of engines....)

    Desert Mountains - N-Trak Module in progress

    (Holding a big spoon full of mashed potatoes and looking at the mountain) This... This means something. :eek: :) Looks like a good start. Reminds me of the area around Grand Junction, CO. :thumb: Michael

    Stupid Computer Dealers

    Saturday I went to Pricewatch and looked up prices for a new motherboard/cpu combo for my wife's computer (the one I fried 6 months ago, remember?) and found what I thought was a good deal on one close to what she had. So I went ahead and placed an order on their website that day for it. Today...

    Paint stripping

    That sounds promising, but is it safe for septic tanks? I'd hate to have to have my tank pumped because I "poisoned" it. Michael

    Errol's Trestle

    There is one like that in Starkville, MS. It crosses over a street near the Baptist Church in downtown. I wish I had gotten a few pictures of it when I was there at MSU. It was my favorite road to drive down because of that bridge. :( *sigh* :( Live and learn. Michael

    Advice please Robin!

    Try the cover to a spool of 50 CD-Roms. That should be about right if memory serves. It might be a little too big, but not that big of a deal in N. They would also work for HO size water tanks.... I have one that I'm working on now for a water tank for my son's HO layout. Michael
