Barry,
change in plans, the wife has a doctor's appt in the evening, and i will be watching the kiddos. So I will have to wait until Fall to see you again. I am still looking forward to reading the report, hopefully there will be some clear answers to the questions I submitted.
Thanks again,
John Z.
edit - just to clarify, my interest in a new tinplate wheel arrangement is in O gauge- nothing wrong w/ standard gauge, just not my bag
