Website update
Just a note that I've done at least a partial update to the website. The website software people didn't prove to be any help on recovering the old site, so, I've had to build the site again from scratch. It's mostly the same stuff, with some new pics added and a new section on how I build my switches.
Hey Capt Turk Whats up seadog.The last set of photos were the best absolutly the best.I suppose your back at work cause I havent heard from you since you said they had called you back.Be safe and hope to see you soon.Progress on the Atlantic is going pretty well,Im about ready to set up the the timing on it now I redid all the suspention on it so Im hoping to have some more pulling power.The trailing truck needed alot of wotk on the rear springs and shackels I finnnaly got the springs adjusted right to force the drivers down on the track better.The pilot was bent as wellIm not sure if that is fixed right yet or not I need to run it to check it.Later Capt.

hey Tim,
Glad to hear the Atlantic is coming together. Weight on the drivers was always a problem with that loco.
I'm up to 1500' and almost to the top of the hill on the south end. Haven't been doing much on the railroad for the last couple of weeks. Had an old friend from Canada visiting me for the last couple of weeks and been having too much fun with her to work on the railroad. All the distractions!! Whewwww.....doesn't do good for me getting anything done on the railroad.
I'm about to the starting point on the loop trestle. Gonna take a wheel barrow full of bucks to do it.
Wander on down anytime. If we don't work on the railroad, we can sure break the neck off a jug.
I MAY have aquired a free source of ballast. don't know for sure, but it looks good.
Bring your self on down, there's Jack a waste'n.

Capt Turk,
Much good luck with your intended plan to get married. Oh yes, and with the Railroad too.
I remember first seeing you I believe at the N. E. Fla track--then when you bought a little gasser.
What a difference with what you have now.
Good luck.
Larry D
