I was moving cars around so I thought I'd take the 40s up for a test run.

Another year and lots of trees and it should look good. I knew the 40s would run great on the new line.

Fabulous, Marty. It's really coming together.... I didn't run my GP-40 up that line last night but I did run it around the upper loop about 6 times without a problem. The caboose did come uncoupled on the first switch off north end as it comes off the loop. It looks like the outside rail on that switch has a bit of a dip in it. However, the caboose didn't uncouple again during the rest of the runs. I like the way that upper look runs. I used both the tracks on the upper side.

See you next Thursday..... :):):)

Got most of the twigs, branches and sticks removed from the rails....:D

Just completed the track. added another single cross over . tied the branchline into the higline. I will pull the forms tomorrow, there maybe rain tonight I hear.
Now don't anyone tell me it takes all summer to install 250ft of roadbed and track.

«snip...» Tried to edit the photos but the stupid thing would not go back to the url. «snip...»

Marty

Double left-click the image in the editor window, when the Image properties dialog displays, edit the URL field value as required.

And just which "old way" would that be?

[*]The original Snitz version? [*]The second Snitz version? [*]The first version of the new ActiveForums Rich Text Editor? [*]The manual entry of Forum Code, or the HTML equivalent? [/list]

Marty, the thing that amazes me about your work on the NTCGRR is not the overall maginitude (although that is unmatched) but the speed at which you work. You get more done in a week than I do in a year..

That's lookin great...

You continue to inspire...
