Hi there, yes we did get to Ottawa, and we had a great time.
Two layouts were displayed by us, the original H O Trolly mainly for trolly pole operation, and the New Traction in Action (all most done--- --but not quite), for Pantagraph only.
They both ran very very well
:D :D ;) ;)

I have my photo`s back so I will put a few of them on, when I have some from the lads I will add to the thread.
Cheers.
Chris.:) :) :) :) :)

My pics are to big:( :( :( so I will post them as soooon as I learn how to;)

Looking fwd to sum awesome traction pix! You could e-mail them to me and I'll shrink them 4-U. Get the Gimp! gimp.org, file| open, then rt. click image after it's open and select image|scale image and then do (t. click image) file|as name.jpg. jpg is most efficiant. Take default on all option. ceck the size and repeat if you want it smaller. For color, 1000 pix on the larger side usu werks.

What Chris didn't tell you is that he and his mates had their Traction in Action layout set up at a show in Whitby this weekend.

I've just come from there, and it's a great layout and a great group of guys! Really enjoyed myself and even got a personal tutorial from Chris himself on how to make catenary.

BTW Chris, I should have mentioned this earlier, but if you need some help shrinking your images I could probably do some for you. After all, we can't let Jon have all the fun!

cheers
:D Val
