Everything seems to be in order. They pulled me aside today and said that there *probably* would not be a problem, as long as no one ransacks the office, the sanctuary, etc. So See ya Oct 20th at 12 Noon. The church is set far back off the road and (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Thanks! I'm not the modeller a lot of Lugnuts are, but I do pride myself on being able to make a good mountain. :) The trestle was a combo effort between John & I, and the funicular was Michel's design.

What I can do to save my insanity is too widen the structure. Instead of 10 I will make it 20 so I will be able to fit 2 tracks in it. This will also allow for the big containers that go under the track that contain ore and direct it to the chutes. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
