Hey Guys.
Enjoyed seeing the pictures. I am glad I was able to come down that
Sunday and see the layout. It was good to get to meet each of you as well.
I have managed to fix some of the issues with the Santa Fe train. I
replaced the plates from the bottum of the cars (10022) with tiles and it
runs a lot smoother around the curves. It also works well with two motors
in the B-Unit and two speed regulators.
Hopefully I will be able to come down for some other activities at some
point. I have minimum 2 years here so I figure I had best use them wisely.
Nate

| Nate: It was great meeting you. Thanks for coming down and helping us out on Sunday. Also, glad to hear about your success with the Santa Fe cars. We're hoping that a smoother track bed will also help the cars run smoother. Tim "Nate Jacobs" (...) (22 years ago, 12-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)
