jOHN had the Houston Area G Gaugers over today for their monthly meeting. I made some videos that I will try to post in the next day are so. Steve I had my problem with the switches today and my SRRL.

Ed,
The Russell is indeed a Roundhouse. I bought this engine just to run at John's place in Katy. This engine is radio controlled, but I prefer manual control. However, I learned that when operating on a ground level track the old body cannot get up and down to operate manually with comfort.

Thanks Ed and Barry for all the great pictures. Thanks everyone for attending. Had a great time and the weather was great also. Next stop is the Garden Ry Convention in Phoenix.

...when operating on a ground level track the old body cannot get up and down to operate manually...

Heck, that's a pain regardless of age!

Later,

K

"However, I learned that when operating on a ground level track the old body cannot get up and down to operate manually with comfort."
I'll second that, after 20 years of trying to mimic crawling around the ground with "be a kid at heart" attitude, I am left only with the weeds along the "rails to trials" to which my aching joints shuffle along.
