Thats no good. Better the Toyota then your family though.

Nothing to show this week for me. I am working on a few new fire trucks, but thats about it.

This weekend I completed the outter loop with superelevation in the curves! Can't wait to see an ABBA set of F-7's going around that curve. Tomorrow I will get the bus wires installed, track wired for the ceremonial golden spike and initial run of the PPRY.

Envirodude,

Nice video clip.  I see the layout is coming along nicely.

Thanks for sharing,
Dave Foxx

P.S. I love the SBD unit.

[tom mann]

Glad you're ok, Carl.

I was on travel all last week so I didn't do anything.   ;D  Before I left, I took a photo of a weeping willow tree without it's leaves so I could study branch structure.  I made a wire frame using the photo as a guide.  I also ordered $100 worth of silflor leaf material! :-\

I'm glad you and your family are OK too Carl.

For me, it was mostly work around the house. Got new carpet and furniture for the family room and hung up a painting yesterday. I know Lee will appreciate it. ;D

[cv_acr]

Carl: that sucks. Car accidents are no fun, even when it's the other guy's fault.

I lost one of my cars when a guy U-turned right in front of me without checking.

[davefoxx]

Carl,

I'm glad that you and your family are okay, too.  People cannot be replaced, but thankfully, cars can.  It's moments such as these that remind us of what's really important.  I hope everyone is still feeling okay today, since it's often a day or two afterward that the bumps and bruises set in.

Nice "super-elevation" on those curves.  It's always exciting seeing a train coming down the tracks. Nice job
