Thank you and thanks for following along.

Ha-ha!  Watchin your videos are a lot of fun T.  The scenery and sounds make it so realistic for the viewer.   I was curious what does momma think of your trains?  Does she view with friends also?   Thanx Thom...

Tom - The videos turned out really well.  I particularly like the video of the Po Po car exiting Old Man Perkins' place.  I guess the domestic row between Farmer Perkins' wife and Fatty Patty got resolved after Fatty agreed to sweep the porch, wash the laundry, iron the sheets, clean out the barn, and weed the corn patch. Amazing what an incentive like missing dinner will do for a teen age girl's work ethic.

The video of ACL 835 (A PFM USRA Mike) at the crossing shows how many cars a well maintained steam loco can pull - especially with free rolling metal wheels on the trucks.  I guess it goes without saying that 835 (the model) has lasted years longer than the prototype.  Probably time for a boiler test!

Great videos. Was the police car pulled on a string?

[sdrees]

Nice videos Tom.  The string of freight cars in the 4th video have  very nice weathering.

[Dave K.]

Good Morning Tom,


Let me join everyone in sending you accolades for the superb videos of your recent accomplishments on the layout. They are awesome. The scenery is just beautiful and the police car, well, what can I say. It looks like you and the judge had a real fun day putting the videos together. Keep up the marvelous work.

I can't wait to see how you put the barbs on the barbed wire.   


dave

Dave,

No sure anyone makes HO scale barbed wire so I'll just use loose woven thread like I did on the wood fence around the farm area.

Tom

Dave,

I think I figured it out.   I've been doing a little experimentation and it looks promising. I'm surprised nobody has done it in the past.

I'm very excited about how it looks on the top of the fence.

STAY TUNED LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

Thom and others,

The pool folks came by and we had a small issue that took two+ hours to fix.

I won't be able to show the barbed wire until later this evening. Sorry bout dat!

Tom
