| OK, I haven't done any to layout since the last pictures. I've been working on a 16'x20' storage shed, so I can get the garage
cleaned out.
Trackplan is drawn up and waiting for our son to come home and show me how to scan and post it.
Thinking about a open house sometime in the spring when I get at least a temporary connection in for a loop.
Don and Doug
The N-scale layout is coming along slowly. This winter will get the rest of the benchwork and all the mainline track laid.
I will post a few pictures of it in the Public Forum within the next few weeks. Marty and Bubba stop by and viewed the layout
on the way home from HAGRS show earlier this summer. I will let them comment on it if they will.
Dave,
The table is not complete and that is what the post is for.

| Looks great Rodney! How did I miss this thread??? Man watch that pink insulation stuff. I used that for the seal between my train door and the track below and within a year I had birds eat half of it away and had to wrap the damn stuff in electrical tape to get them to quit! What amazes me is I had even painted the stuff too. Maybe stick a dummy owl or something on a post scare the little pests away. lol Keep up the good work. Raymond | |

Rod,
A great looking site you have there. Nothing like plenty of elbow room!  " border=0> You've got almost as many battery power tools as I do. hehe!
Richard,
I think your wrong with the tools. I have 9 drills alone, and everything in the Craftsman
19.2 volt line and a few other things.
Rodney
Heehee Rod! I am dutifully in awe! We do share one commonality for sure though.....you can't have too many tools. Your RR is looking great! It'll be a real eye popper for sure when completed and is quite impressive already. I'm looking forward to seeing more as it progresses. Richard

| I thought I was "over doing it" with 4 electric drills Three are Ridge and one is B&D. None of which are Cordless. I hate drilling a hole then Changing from a drill bit to a Phillips driver.
The thing I dislike about all 4 drills is KEYLESS CHUCK's The price was right Probably got enough extension cords to reach from here to Rodney's house. | |

You don't like "Keyless chucks"???? Care to expound on why?

| Sometimes when drilling metal one can not get the bit tight enough to stop it from spinning in the keyless chuck. And I have had them come loose when using the drill in reverse. | |
