Alan, great work with scraps just laying around, it looks like a great match. I sure hope you have fun on your train ride later on. Its been years ago when I last road a train.
Elliot, Good job on the switches and great looking mud work on the walls. Your moving right along, I am so happy for you that with such a big layout you only found one problem. Also it sounds like you have it handled with the fact you say its an easy fix. I would be scratching my head for days!
Dave, your layout just looks wonderful, it really shows pride in what your doing! I hope to be there someday like the rest of you all!
