Marc: Your comments about “Rumors” rings true and so close to home for me. Every three or four months my boss comes to me to ask my plans, when I ask what he means, he tells me that there are several people wanting to apply for my position. Seems as though this crop of youngsters want me to retire before I’m ready to retire again (I already retired twice and didn’t like it then and do not look forward to do it again.)
Ralph: (If I’d Only Known) I truly empathize with your problem. I too designed my yard inside the loops, but when the boss dictated the Koi Pond inside; my yard had to move elsewhere, so I was spared the heartache you went through.
Jack: I like your technique of Plank-on-Frame construction. I’ve been doing a “plank-on-skeleton” and never been that confident with the sturdiness. I’ve lost a few buildings to the dog & chicken races (they take turns chasing each other around the back yard.) I’m sure that my new projects will be a bit more sturdy thanks to your article.
No, no 7/8th on stuff on my layout, I just liked the layout in the rag.
Tom I’ll be going to the Southwest Garden Railroad Show at Pomona Fairgrounds, its on the same weekend as the BTS but its ALL LARGE SCALE and everyone from the MLS forum will be going to the SWGRS. I’m hoping to bring the pizza plus the Fairplex GRR is going to let some of use run our trains on the big layout!!! If you have top choose I’d do the SWGRS as its all LS, no fiddling small gauge stuff.
