    As I said the insight you have is uncanny. That's exactly what I plan on doing, if slow leave at noon. Went to go out to the train room this morning, I had to go back in and get a sweatshirt, it was only 54. Finally got up to about 68, but when that sun went down, it sure got cold fast...

    If anyone is interested, there is a real interesting comparison of Legacy, DCS, and TMCC on another forum. John, I like those pictures. Your sons house and barn look like a post card country scene. (The trucks would need to be moved). How old is that house? Honestly now, how many times have...

    Tom, We did that in the Indian Guides. I modified one of the car bodies by bashing it with a red light and siren, that is available in the cheap police/ambulance cars available. Then painted it Black/White. It was a real hit wit the kids, being chased by a police car with lights flashing...
