a thumbs up would mean more if it's in a reply message so you can see what the thumbs up is for.

Am I apparently missing something?? I'm seeing posts by Mr. Balcer that
really don't contain a message. It took awhile to understand sometimes
it's a tiny thumb.? What does this mean?

Since I started my layout in 1985 it's grown in s
semi orderly way to the present point.? I've managed to add two
medium sized yards,, a passenger staging yard and nearly doubled
the trackage and turnouts too.? All this has been challenging
and rewarding in sometimes reverse order!?
Over the weekend, I started to make some minor
changes but of course, they all involve making sawdust and
rerouting the 110V wiring.? I don't know what you guys have used
but I seem to have many outlet strips.? None of the uses need
heavy wiring but I did wiring for 20 amps.? But over these years
I probably have 15+ outlet strips.? These are the ones typically
have a half dozen branch outlets, a surge protector, and often
some phone connectors all in one plastic box with slotted
mounting 'holes'.? Obviously I don't use the phone outlets so
that area is wasted real estate for my use.? Then those 6-8
outlets are too close as in today's world many have wall wart
transformer that block additional outlets to the point that only
two plugs can be used.? Next, those hidden slotted mounting
holes take tolls on one's patience,? So I've spent countless
hours rerouting them to make life easier--so far mostly a fut al
attempt!?
So with that in mind, I've got just a bit more to
do in one corner of the room, then it's time for a small glass
of wine--join me? ? Okay two glasses!

Re: Seeking AM plug door photo
Ron made these for the Central NJ S gaugers in 1988. The prototype was a 40¡¯ plug door insulated boxcar rebuilt from a wood reefer leased from North American in captive service for Ballantine Beer. Ironically, I can¡¯t find my model photo, but here is the prototype¡.

HI everyone,
I know it has been a while since I posted the Nose Eagle etchings. I finally received the proper size decal to go into the etching. So those that reached out to me wanting an Eagle please email me again and I can get you your nose Eagle. Also I will need to know if you want the MP or the TP Eagle. I have both.?
?
I am needing $7.00 each that includes the decal.? I will put them in an envelope and mail them USPS.?

Re: Place you orders for flex track
Ed and Jeff are correct. ME will now market and sell the track they have always produced. The sale did not include any inventory, so they are now in the process of manufacturing new track over the next several months. You can support S scale by patronizing their business!
Jim Whipple NASG President
I could be wrong but I was under the impression that Tomalco flex track has always been made by micro engineering. ME just didn¡¯t have the right to sell it direct even though they made it. Basically Tomalco subcontracted the production through ME. I¡¯m sure this is why it was logical that ME would just go ahead and purchase the rights to Tomalco flex since they already made it.
This is no different than American Models having their molds at a manufacturing facility elsewhere, so while American Models owns the molds, they aren¡¯t the ones using them. That other company is the one that actually produces the American Models products for AM to sell. This is the same with Tomalco. ME is the one with the molds in hand that is manufacturing the flex track for Tomalco to sell. But Tomalco actually owned the molds.
