The Houston S Guys set our vintage layout in it's basic form for a Saturday event sponsored by the San Jacinto Model RR club.? Other than the G gauge guys, our layout seemed to be as large as any, although we're generally capable of three times the size.? However that would require an entire day for setup plus more and younger labor too!

Someplace along the packing process, I misplaced a back brace, so that really slowed me down, so I was walking wounded and late!? I did manage to bring a few things to run--one being my RR UP gas turbine and a few cars.? Everything ran fairly well, but after unpacking back here I found I had lost my kingpin screw for the B unit.? That is unfortunate as I have no idea where it ended up.? Then checking my stray parts box that evening left zero results.?

I also had just a couple of 'running repairs' that I think most module guys have eventually--those problems solved now and they're back from the RIP track!? I store my newer freight cars on a shelf unit above the layout.? Some time ago I had sold off a few cars so I just filled the? 4 shelves with cars without slack!? I stared to return all the cars but always came up at least one car too many.? So I spent several useless hours changing out cars but eventually I finally succeeded !? So with those successes, I went back to my turbine's B unit and the search for a possible screw replacement.? That came up lacking again, btw it's a shouldered spring screw, so not common either!? So I'll probably close the day one screw short again--screwed again!
