Hello Guys,
I WILL motorize the turntable before September, even if it kills me. The
roundhouse itself just needs a few finishing touches.
I still have my single wide 30 inch bridge, I could make it a bit longer and
keep it all black and grey, or quite a bit longer and add other colors. I
could probably make it double wide, not sure how sturdy that would be. I
have been playing around with fairly simple ZNAP bridges, and could easily
have a 30 inch one ready.
With respect to the grain elevator, I could donate some of the conveyor belt
pieces to be permanently superglued to the mailboxes, unless John comes up
with a better idea.
