Kevin stopped by my place of work today to drop off one or two odds and ends and took the opportunity to show off his new black and gray loco. It's amazingly smart looking. I don't know if there are pictures of it posted anywhere yet, but if not, (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) Crawl under is very very typical. Jump over is very very foolish. Bring a piece of carpet or rug to put at the spot where everyone crawls in/out... you'll be doing it more than you think and your knees will really appreciate it. (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Cool, John I don't mind your layout however it really doesnt allow for alot of stock cars to get side tracked.
