? The other end of the main line(north end) ended at this outdoor return loop which represented CSX Hialeah Yard.

Bob,

Gotta ask, is the switch in the last pic handlaid? It looks far to shallow an angle to be commercial.

It is handlaid but it is (approximately) a number 6. Looks bigger, dosen’t it?
Must be a camera thing.

KEN, How’s the On30 coming along?

#79

It’s up and running…had a few sessions with it to get the bugs out. It’s arrived at the point that it was in when it was in the garage (just collects less dust now)…:wink:

LOOKS GOOD. It’ll be there when you get back to it.
The new 1/29 layout is 6 miles away at my friend’s house.
I need to get something going here at home. Maybe the TTn3 1/2?
I keep running out of money!
