(...) Scot- Well, we did set the (then) current North American record at BF on the second try. Turns out I'll get a second chance at the OC Fair (3rd weekend) with the rest of SCLTC. At this point, I think beating the time take some practice as a (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Erik- If I did that, I would want it all in (old) light gray. Answer: No. Extended answer: Alas, this Big Thing has less that 1% in any grays (unless you count white as a gray shade). (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

Hint #9: The Big Thing is internally braced by 30 feet of 3/4 galvanized steel pipe. The pipe does not support the structure or even connect to it, but it's backup just in case. -Ted (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
