The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[ACL1504]

You're making good progress, much faster than mine.     I read today that the Diet Pepsi formula is going to change, they're taking the aspartame out.  I'm already Pxxxxd off that they made the Diet Dew bottles smaller.  When will the horror end?

Jeff

Thanks Doc, I just hope it doesn't change the taste.  We'll, er, I'll see.

Thank Heavens Coke never changes their formula......ohh....wait.....never mind.   

The second level is really coming along nicely Tom.  I can't wait to see the progress you've made.

Bob,

Thanks for checking in. They always want to change the taste of stuff. We all know how it turned out for Coke.

No resting at the home of ACL 1504. You are really moving on. Only one small question, where are all the curved tracks? Looking good  my friend, keep up the great work.

Frank / EriemanI know I'm going to get Skype call on this one!

Frank,

Thanks for stopping by and posting. I knew I would get a comment from you and I'm guessing you were just looking at the photo. You must have forgot to read this from my earlier post.

" I've had several conversations with Howard Zane and Frank Baker, Erieman, concerning straight track. They both say to avoid it if at all possible. On my old layout I had much more room for gentle curves than I do with this layout. This new three level layout is more like a three level shelf layout. There are some areas where I can have gentle curves or curved sections to avoid the monotony of all straight track. I would define my current layout as a linear one in that the benchwork is along the walls and 24" deep. So, trying to avoid any straight track is almost impossible on this layout. Nuff said about that subject, I'm moving on with what I can do."

Anyway, progress is being made but the wiring is slowing me down at the moment.

I'm not sure I want to be around when Dr. Evil learns that the Pepsi corporation is changing the formula for Diet Pepsi.  Makes the hairs on my back stand up just thinking about his reaction!

Cousin Brucie,

Good to see you my friend. Leave it to the big corporations to screw up a good drink! We all know what happened when Coke tried it.

Perhaps to be safe, maybe you should give me the batteries to the Death Ray Dr. Evil!

Brucie, he'll never give up the batrees - he's tryin' to impruve it to reach to Arkansaw for them
folks that interrupt his threads!  (Like we give a monkey's red a**!)

Cousin Brucie,

I've heard the sad news but am taking a "wait and taste" attitude before I use the Death Ray!

UPS are just part of life - I hope I get up in the morning, I hope I can get up out of this chair, plus the BIG WISH - I just hope
I can get it up (the train on the table, of course!! Only railroad content here!).
