Lou, The Santa Fe F3 sounds and runs as great as it looks!!
Mike, I'm glad you met Lee at the show!
Chris, Thank you on the congratulations!! I'm looking forward to making some progress, finally!
Mitch, Dirk Pitt's toys would make for some good modeling. My favorite character is Isaac Bell, his would fit the stean era! James is doing an admirable job handling the Hogwarts Express!
John, And the beat goes on! How many more cars are you going to populate?
Anthony, the yard tracks and dwarf signals look great! Looks like you plan for a lot more railroading than I realized!!
I don't know if I will get to the Mianne benchwork today. I was out twice, cleaned off and defrosted the car and van and shoveled the walk. The second trip was to snow blow the driveway, with my little blower. I still have to go out and snow blow my mother-in-law's driveway even though she doesn't have a car. (Where is my deadbeat brother-in-law when you need him? He has a truck and monster blower!) Then I'll be off to my dad's house to check the heat in the pump house. At least I don't shovel there, just trudge in and out.
