Bobby The P,
As usual great work.  That pressure gauge is a bit over the top even for you!

BTW, it was good to see you over at Philbert's today.

Bob, I've read enough of these praises, so I ain't gonna say anything about how talented you are!!

Ooops, just screwed up and did, didn't  I - oh, well - that's an Arkansas thang!!

Great work of art Bob! Now what's next?

John......

So what is next ? ? ? ?

I'm speculating on building a self powered gas motor passenger car.  Put into your search ... Lancaster, Oxford and Southern.  It is a chain driven motor that is at Strasbourg PA.  I saw this first in 1992 and it has since been restored to regular operation.  I have a niece who lives near by and did some measurements for me some time ago.

The idea of making the chain drive operate is a very cool notion to me.  I'm also pondering G (or what ever half inch is really called) scale again.  Half inch is really easy to scale up drawings to.  How did we ever get HO and the weird fractional metric number ? ? ? ?

I'm still some time away from starting.

see ya

Well Bob, I for one will be looking forward to the start of the railcar project.  I really enjoyed your Falk loco build, I have looked at it several times and each has amazed me again and again.
