Howdy fellas...

Thanx Larry C*., thanx Phillip, and thanx to all those that grabbed a quick glance at the IMMR & T Co.....

After looking at the budget for the rest of the month, (we're on a fixed income)...the repairs to the kitchen, (new disposal and faucet plus instalation/labor) and Gages' eye Dr. appt. along with new lenses and 2 pair (one for backup) of frames shot a hole of right at $1000.00 in the 'discretionary' funds...

oh well these things happen, so no pink foam till the first of the month....

...but I've got stuff to still clean up and prep ....so the project isn't on hold ... it's priorities have changed a little....

I can deal with that...

besides; living without a disposal and next to no water pressure (bad faucet) was driving all 3 of us bonkers

.....so you do what ya gotta....and Gage is thrilled to have new glasses...it's been 16 yrs..

poor kid....he's so glad to be able to see again....

.....

Here's a little schematic map I did of the IMMR & T showing the interface/interchange with the D&RGW...

This all happened because the D&RGW needed to get up a very steep mountain;

... and so when the IMMR & T Co. was formed...to get at the MYTHIUM / BS

...a deal was made ....

...the IMMR & T would build the bridge at Harrison, and the D&RGW and the IMMR & T would split the more expensive costs of the tunnels ....one for the D&RGW 'loop'60%...and the other for the IMMR &T switchback 40%...

...the D&RGW would also get a 'break' on the price of the BS that that it purchased from the IMMR & T;....If the D&RGW had used their heads, they could've made off with a small piece of the profits to offset the 60% cost of the tunnels.....

but that's why they went under

........."A fool and his money".........

.............

The IMMR & T / D&RGW interface/interchange is actually very similar to the Georgetown Loop RR; we just added a sort of 'switchback' so a train can come down from the mine going forwards and after clearing the D&RGW cutoff begin backing down, taking the IMMR & T back down to the yard at Harrison; and the D&RGW can go up or down it's main line at the same time without any interference... so, the IMM & T is basically a switchback operation that after connecting to the D&RGW interchange, completes a 'continous' loop...

...is that as confusing as it sounds ?......

......

Oh well all for now.....stay tuned and thanx again for stoppin' by......see ya......

Kyle it's good to see someone putting family and household first. As much as I like modeling it's still at its core a hobby, and should be treated as such. Kudos to you for getting it right!!

Thanx sooooo much Lary C*.,.....

It's nice to feel like I did something right; I know there shouldn't be any question about the 'order of the priorities',...

.....but sometimes it's still a good feeling when someone else notices,

THANK YOU

..........................................

I called this afternoon to see how long it would be before Gages' glasses came in

We ordered them last Friday about noon....from the the Vision Center in Walmart ...we also did the eye exam at the Optometrist in the Walmart....they said it would be about 5-10 business days so we had them put a rush on it (at no extra charge).....

I took Gage to pick up his glasses this evening THURSDAY @(6:00PM) he is beside himself with joy at being able to see again.....

.....he says "Everything's in H.D."

......

Here's the before and after......

I love him so much; it just makes my heart soar forever....

Thanx again for all the input and comments fellas, and to you Larry C*. - a special thanx for 'speaking' the words you typed above............

..........all for now.............stay tuned............see ya.................
