As July and August get eaten up quickly, we will all be busy working for the start of the fall season. We'll talk more regarding dates and shows. It will be here before we are ready I know that. I feel it is important for the West coast to show the rest of the country that we can razzle dazzle with the best of them. I'm glad that we can do some joining of forces to put on better shows. We'll be in touch regarding all developments. If you guys do come up this way, we will plan for plenty of space. Loren ----- Original Message -----

There is a Great Western Train show in Oct(?) so maybe we can take you up on that So OR Club your starting up with Joe. Maybe we can sign a petition for the management girls: "you build it, we'll buy it". We're all working on new modules for the San Jose show in Sept (24-25) so we might be able to bring some up there, space available of course. Jeff M -----Original Message-----

Re: Paper models

Fred,
If you mean the woman sitting next to the Poorville and Debt City and next to the BYOZ layouts, that would be Helen Sutfin (or is it Sutphin?), Terry's wife and the planner/organizer extrordinaire who managed to get 55 Z scalers together for dinner saturday night when she was originally expecting about 15 of us. I think Terry is on the Z_Scale list if not here. Some of the Oregonians may have the Sutfins' e-mail address and I think their phone may be listed in ZTrack somewhere. Speaking of card models, did you see Stan Jones work on the modules from Atlanta? Most were his own original designs.

(OT) Cincinnati Hospitality Request
(OT) Cincinnati Hospitality Request
Quick Note: Our nationally televised TV show that is running during the convention has some footage from Tracks in the Sand, 2002: Featuring: David George, Chad Bryan, Rob Albritton & a quick KUDOS to Z from Tony Koester! www.TheTrainShow.com On to the Request: Last minute plans are leading to a visit to the Cincinnati area for the National Train Show. I am looking for someone that may live local, (in Cincinnati) to put-me-up or put-up-with-me? :) Or someone with a SECOND bed in a hotel room, close by! Brett is in camp and fianc¨¦' is working so it's ONLY me. :) or :( (r) This is all based on the following: Finishing TWO more shows in the NEXT 4 days! (Don't ya just love to work on a holiday weekend.) Originally it was going to be a drive to get there from Long Island, NY, but with the cost of gas vs airfare, it became obvious that driving was not worth the time/vs money (unless shared). But if you are going/driving from the NY area, maybe that would work. Z-Track Contacts have been made with Rob Kluz, thanks Rob NMRA Contacts have been made LEGO Contacts have been made NTrak, many know me already! Please email me ASAP or CALL ANYTIME because I am working day/night on the next 2 shows until Tuesday! TIA Thanks in Advance www.TheTrainShow.com Producer/Director Watch us ONLINE anytime!

M?krlin 8592 Expansion Track
Larry Donsbach
I thas been suggested that I share this information tho those Z-
Bend_Track that might be interested. I found a German hobby shop that has the 8592 for 4.70 Euros each. Since the Euro stays the same, the dollar cost will vary and the Deutsche Post EuroExpress mailing cost is $6.00 for up to 20. It is best to send an e-mail to get the day's cost paid by PayPal.

Father's Day and model railroading
Today was the first day of a two day show for model train layouts at a local
(huge) mall for Father's Day. There are layouts set up at the Mall entrance in Lionel, HO, N and Z scale...and we are having a ball running trains on our Z-Bend Track layout. This was the first time for my set of six heavyweight passenger cars to run, and they did look nice and ran well. I'm looking forward to show them off at the NTS in a few weeks. If you want to have fun, run trains. If you want to have a LOT of fun, run them in public. Regards, Bill K. Houston |

Re: NTS
randy smidt
Bill,
I saw the "final" design awhile ago. I think Rob posted it on the NTS list (last I checked, the old versions were there too). As for adapter modules: the Richmond group is working on one, but I have been unable to get an update on it; Stan Jones is building/has built? one for jeff White's set-up from Atlanta; then there is the X from Houston, the T from Wisconsin and the T from DC (track down, still working on scenery). Rob built a transition for his new modules as well. We tried to place the modules that were unknown quantities in positions in which they could be run standalone if neccessary. Hope we don't have to do that, but it's been difficult getting updates on progress. Randy Smidt zbendtrack@... wrote: Hi... Has anyone seen a best-and-final layout diagram for the NTS yet? For that matter, any word on the status of the adapters that might hook different layouts together? Bill K. Houston --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Re: NTS
Hi Bill,
I believe the latest and greatest is in the files section of the NTS2005 group right here on Yahoo. Try this link: I don't know if this is actually finalized, and Rob A. is out of the country until June 20th, but you can e-mail him to find out. He said he'd be checking e-mail on a regular basis. Hope this helps! Bryan Keyser Vienna, VA DC Z_Bend Track --- In Z-Bend_Track@..., zbendtrack@a... wrote: Hi...hook different layouts together? |

That's why all of my stuff will be marked on the chassis of each piece

Re: Module wiring
When I asked about communications wiring, I used the wrong words. I should have asked about the lighting circuit. Bill answered me and I have added the lighting circuit to one of our modules. Originally I wired for local use only--no lighting then noticed in Bill's wiring harness the lighting circuit. Thus the question. Five of our modules are now wired with three circuits. One remains an unknown quantity. Jim
