Thanks for reminding us all. I have spoken by phone to Peter Jarvis and emailed him the driving directions. Unless either of us have last minute conflicts, we will both be there. I will plan for arriving around 12 noon. Dunno what I will bring, but (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Hey All, The 25th is fast approaching, so I figured I'd post. The meeting's going to have to be at my house, as the church a) needs groups to have insurance just as the mall does and b) is already taken on the 25th. Anyways, here's directions to my (...)

(...) Congrats Alan! (...) I think this would make a great little church for Lucnyville. I really like the bell tower. (...)

First is a church which I've been working on recently (especially since passing my thesis defense a couple of weeks (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) It depends. Does Via count as a class 1 line? How about CP? Victoria still has its roundhouse, used for the Budd cars. (which, btw, will be around until at least the 15th of june...its a on-again, off-again issue here, the E&N is not going to (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.trains)

(...) That's true. I'd recommend 48 if LUCNY had real estate right now to display Wayne's design, but we don't. I think starting with a 32 would be prototypical and fit our table design. (...) Yes, that's also true. Steamtown's table is large, but (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.trains)

(...) I would go 48 if I could. But I should hasten to point out that it is prototypical for engines not to fit on the turntable in US practice. It happened fairly frequently. The most common solution was to service the engine in the stall that was (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks for sharing these ideas: I have had the motor outside the turntable and had a long connecting axle hidden underneath the turntables visible floor. But in the end this lead to my 5 bricks high solution, that I dislike. In a beta-version (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.trains)
