My cell phone tells time…good enough for me.

You still must protect those watches also, when the depth gets high.

Marvin,
So how high does the depth get? Or am I missing something? :wink:

Good grief , hand laid Z gauge track , HJ you are unreal really , I always thought that it was a joke when someone stated something was tighter than a gnats ass streached over a rain barrel , little did I know HJ was the one who did it . :wink:

At any depth where the time piece would be submerged.

Full fathoms five, of course

… Is there any possibility of having a subject posted in the “Off Topic” portion of this site, that is not political and may be regarding a subject that a civil conversation can be shared with many people I call friends? And yes, I have read the disclaimer, but this is a large scale model railroad site. Wouldn’t you think sometimes, “Off Topic” meant HO or N scale?

Hey Ric, you forgot about Z scale! On one of the German LS fora the admin - on request, no less - created a Winzbahn-Ecke (TinyTrain-Corner). Since I like a bit of variety, and we also produce “stuff” for Z-scale, I’m in the process of building a 12" by 12" Z display (static - as in nonmoving :wink: )

Since I didn’t really like some of the Z track and the better looking stuff wasn’t available, I decided to use some Kappler ties on edge and ME Code40 rail and handlay the track.

Since I had some tiny ME spikes on hand I figured I’d use them to secure the track at the edge of the display and use contact cement for the rest. Well the spikes are on the “too large” side and I don’t wan’t to find out how small the Z scale spikes are - if anyone makes them.

I guess the Kadee couplers are a bit larger than scale, too, but that’s one of the compromises. As is the brakewheel on that SP box, but I’ll fix that. :wink:

Sorry HJ but I never mess with anything small enough to be accidentally ingested. That Z stuff would be a particularly expensive treat for my doggie and the subsequent visit to the veteranarian to remove it :smiley:

Hi Vic,

Best to keep anything smaller than HO standard gauge out of the pooch’s reach :wink: :). Same story with small children.

If it needs to be high-class chewing material, give them some Brio. :smiley:
