Boomer and fellows, thanks for the comments. Boomer, I am not the quality of modeler they look at for magazines to publish.

I have been following Hurricane Harvey today (8-25-2017) and tonight. I still have friends in Port Lavaca and Victoria, TX. This one looks average in wind and heavy in rain. We had Hurricane Carla hit right over Port Lavaca in l961 with winds above 175 mph. It blew some of the roof off our house. We went to Austin but my father stayed at the ALCOA plant (at Pt. Comfort, 6 miles over the causeway from Port Lavaca) since he was Hurricane Coordinator. They were all safe. Please pray for those affected that they and their homes survive.

JD, I have had the idea to automate the cheap Lionel 6-12774 Log Loader for over 30 years. I would simply come up with a way to use a solenoid to trip a gate or tilt the ramp and let the logs roll. Maybe some day, meanwhile I have that to look forward to. In the post after next I will outline why I might speed that up.
