Worth a try--one of the problems we keep having is one end of the

everything is adjusted if we mark which pieces go where and assemble
the layout the same way the next time it should go together much
quicker.

-April, creepy steamer trunk trainshow in Toronto?  What's up with this Dave?
-July, NMRA2005 in Cincinnati?  Jeff?
