| Marty,
I was reading my thread about the coal hoppers, and it got me to wondering...do the folks coming to your thingy have modern coal hoppers? If so, why don't you encourage them all to bring them, combine them with yours, and let's see how long a coal unit train we can build and pull on your layout? Even if the different style couplers didn't mesh all that well, and we only get to pull it a short distance before it unhooked, we might just set a record for the longest model coal train?
What do you think?

| I'm still waiting for my vacation approval, but I don't think it will be a problem. So, Sharon and I are planning to come up. Google says it's only 600 miles. Gas prices around here have been dropping steadily, I hope they keep going down. It's kind of annoying to spend more on gas than on the rental car.
Assuming we get on the road early enough Friday, we should be there for both nights of feeding frenzy.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone there. Looks like it will be a good group.

| Marty, I will be there Friday morning to help out, you said a while back that you got 4x8 sheets of styrene close to you. How far? I would like to pick up a couple sheets, I cannot remember price but it was reasonable. Look forward to meeting everyone.

| Geeeze, I just realized it's been 2 years since we made the last one. Dang! Sure am envious of ya'll. Looks like it's a "wait'll next year" for us again. Although... we do have a small family get-together/reunion planned with my Fathers side of the family that weekend and because of my cousins interest in trains, we'll be running trains here as well. So's I guess we'll be there in spirit. Now all's we need is a video link and...........
Hey there's an idea! Maybe there's a way we can set a record for the number of trains run simultaneously across the globe. Video link it and...........Naaahhh! Never mind! It's way too crazy and out there even for my warpedness. hehehe
Considering that we started to dismantle our layout the day after we got back from Marty and Carrie's I guess it's a good thing we'll miss it again. After all we just finished the first phase of the new layout. Doohhh!!!!
Ya'll have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

I will be rolling is some time Thrusday afternoon
Any one do a Tally yet? How many Wirdo's, Perverts, Dismals, Deseals, and Steam Freeks are coming to this Battery Powred Steam up?

| | Might be a good idea to publish a list. so those of us who are coming cna make sure we told someone.... I for one am getting a little bit forgetful in my old age.... Name and number(if any) for the dinner.... Beside, it might be good for the rest of us to know who is coming so we know what kind of trouble to look out for..... | |
