Looks great. And sounds like an opportunity Alan. Here's the script:


Alan: "You know [Future Son-In-Law's name], in the old days, your dad would have paid me a hefty dowry, but thankfully we're past that, aren't we? Ha ha!

FSIL: "Um, yes Sir."

Alan: "Still, you know, honor isn't quite dead in these here United States, isn't that right Son?"

FSIL: "Um, yes Sir. I mean no, Sir."


Alan: "So I was thinking, instead of bothering your dad, there's something that..."


["pregnant" pause]

FSIL: "...Uh, Sir?"

Alan: "Well, [FSIL], have you ever heard of [whispered] ladder roadbed?"

=======

You can take it from there, I think.

C'mon Dirk, I worked hard on that!

And for the record, I got home from work today, finally finished power-washing the deck (prior to staining, ugh), and am now recuperating. At the expense of others.

Yeah, I'm thinking about going to Marty's, at least a lot more seriously than before.
Especially since I started that thread about 2014... sort of a joke that backfired, seems I've gotta go now, ha ha!

Well, like I said, I'm seriously thinking about it now... Have to trade a different trip for it probably, we'll see.

Alan, sorry for the side track.
I'm seriously jealous of all the nice flat open area you have!
More importantly, you're designing something truly beautiful in that space. Great work!

Cliffy - Using sectional track when possible, especially for curves. Flex track and dual rail bender will get a good work out on the non-standard curves of the middle loop, and other places where sectional doesn't fit.

Cool.
I'll hazard a guess though, and suggest that you're going to fall in love with the flex, the more you use it.
And you probably already know this, but the brass flex from Train Li looks a lot like LGB sectional.
Main thing, have fun!

Lookin' good now Alan, for the 2nd one (1st one is still "Private" for me). Isn't it cool finally running something on all that hard-won roadbed and trackage?
