Goll--lee!
I sure do like that car ferry Chol----one of the best that I have seen so far.
Was it saved for this layout?
I hope-----
Horrible Herbie

Si , Woodrow , Erb' the good erb..?.fellers..
Correctimundo as to "strings' of cars operated under one card.Cards became un-gainly with twenty in one string..was had..."sets " of four made the thing neat in the moving of lots of cars.."trains" ..and NOT...moving strings of cards..
Bigger card holding boards were made..but it was a sad day in car card ville..
The current plan is one card / one car..I have about thirty cars on layout now..about forty will be tops...six spaces on car float yet to be done..but the total spaxes will be matched by total car..minus about 6-8 cars..enough to be difficult..but not grid locked..

Si , Woodrow Elminero Erb'..fellers..whew..
The old was quite a labour..I was skeered if I didn't finish it around the attic I would loose interest..not being able to go roundy roundsy....
I had something like 99 switches..seems I burned a bunch of monies back then..retail therapy...I still have the switches and the track..and the ground throws..
I think I have 28 or so on the new..quite alot for such a small railroad...I add them willy nilly without thought to cost ...as I have them and more..
some are a bit rough from being laid / taken up and stored for almost two years..moved three times..albiet in a box..
I lost my mind for awhile there..I got divorced, that is the reason for the layout being torn down..I moved ..I sold alot of stuff ..I gave away a lot of stuff...
I regret it now..but not for long..I can build whatever I want..things like stairways and handrails are a bit thin on the ground now.I have enough support stuff..angle iron structural conveyor support stuff to do whot I want to "just"
..I had stocks of the walthers large conveyor kits..they are gone..I can still build whot I want to..in fact.I pride myself on being able to make do..and making do is actually quite a bit more satisfying than just slapping a kit togedda..
There is a train shew in november over in cali Roseville..quite alot of warped cracked mutilated and spindled stuff on offer..freight cars at $3-4 per and buildings un built / partial and bits for sale..I intend to be there with a bit of cash to see whot I can find..
That is this evenings story..I have some recent fotos but Erb won't let em post them..I think a mail campaign to get him to let me post them is in order..?..
