Good morning,
Have been busy doing Honey do's the last couple days, Installing a Mr. Kool split air condenser unit the wife wanted in the living room.Manufactured my own heavy duty wall bracket and got it mounted on the wall and the condenser bolted in place, today is hook it up day....Yah! 
Adriatic: Thanks for the tips not sure as I want to be modeling Lobster claws or eating them, unless you were referring to something else (R/R) that are called lobster claws and not the dip in butter critter? 
I will have to have a look see at the General, I remember that unit and name from my past but for the moment don't remember from where.
Will: So I was saying using 1/2 inch to the foot as a very rough fudge factor keeping in the tradition of so many manufacturers who have modeled "G" into many different scales, I thought 1/24 was a good fit for me.
Anyway I am still learning how to convert scales back and forth so how did you reverse engineer that using "O" scale 3r trucks calculates to 1.5 gauge. if used as a representation as a 3 foot rail line if you can spoon feed me the math I would greatly appreciate learning.
I have been watching some past national Garden railroad shows from the U.K. and I love the detail in some of the modular units they have built. O-G and NG. I particularly like the variate of figures they use in and on their trains and towns. Looking forward to the day I get to that point and can detail a few places in the Garden.
Talked to my Son last night about building the raised garden bed. Someone suggested I raise the playing field because they commented on the fact that playing trains on the ground as we get older is no fun. Yah! ....No Kidding!!!!!! 
I was doing some repair work to the front walk over the past weekend and boy was I hurting while down on all 4's, going to build up to at least 12"-18" in height before I lay track. Ok let me go get the A/C hooked up.
Cheer's
Stan.
