Bill - Thanks for the call back. Glad to hear Don is doing OK! I met
him in Pensylvania just prior to the release of the 38's. I've got 4.
He did a wonderful job against so many odds.
Sorry you can't make Philly-- We had over 100 at Rob's convention in
Columbus. It sounds like it's scaled back to about 50 in Virginia.
Thankz again,
Fred


Re: Connection Link

 

fred:

Poke around here for ideas. Use your back button to navigate after you look
at each photo. Hope it gives you some ideas. The meshing of the hinges gave
me about 0.050 inch registration but the meshing of the DB connectors gave me
about 0.001 inch registration (plus electrical connections too).

Ysbrand
Forget the trains for now. The most important thing is to get the contract so you will be able to
afford the trains later. 740 million Euros is not an insignificant amount.
Talk nice to Rob Kluz and maybe he will save some of the goodies for you.
We will have lots of photos that we can send you after.

Hi Rob,

If I didn't have so much work, I would have considered taking the plane for
this. Certainly looks very promising. Unfortunately I'm at that time in the
middle of getting big money out of a large European IT tender (in total
there's 740 million Euro) for one of my research projects. Trains are
important, but this has to come first.

Lots of success and fun in Virginia,
Ysbrand

Hey guys, this guy is trying to get on mailing lists and he applied to CZM.
We at first approved his membership, but then realizing what he was doing,
we deleted his posting and membership. Advise you do the same.

Human-buttons

 

This campaign is about Human beings, Democracy, UNHCR, Refugees, The Iraqis, Islam, Kurds, Human rights, Respect, Money, Donations, Angelina Jolie, Pavarotti, Giorgio Armani, Donors, Peace, History, Campaigns and about you if you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the last 10 years of my life as a refugee registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights (especially refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks publisher. I have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees in Lebanon and hopefully bring more understanding to our problems worldwide. I helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office in Beirut; I used the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my free ebook 'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of the UNHCR, who using photos of refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the refugees and must stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can see here:

Also you can read my new campaign 'Urgent, we need smile' here:

For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I invite you as fellow humans and members of the world community to support my campaign by reading my article on my site and see the human-buttons. The campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR especially after the last scandals in the UN and UNHCR, just for example:

"We make demonstration and fast because the UNHCR office in Cairo did nothing for our problem..."

Together we will build better world.

You could reach me fast via this form:
and if you like to know more about me, you can google for my name 'osam altaee'.

Thanks

came over to my store. A 20 mile drive to teach me how to help others.
The model railroad hobby is made up of many freindly helpful people.
That want to help other modelers enjoy the hobby also. And Bill
Kronenberger is one of these people.

Re: Changing couplers

Robert Allbritton
 

Couplers and wheel sets are two different things. MTL makes a conversion kit
that will replace the Marklin coupler with MTL couplers while keeping the
Marklin Truck and Marklin Wheels. MTL part #002 02 010 (Was #902)



Best,

-Rob

208 scale miles! - Re: ZBT Cables

randy smidt
 

Wow, 10,000 feet of cables divided by 2 for each side of the module comes out to roughly 208 scale miles of Z-Bend Track modules! That's 416 scale miles of double-track mainline. We ONLY had 32 or 33 scale miles of track at NTS 2005. I wonder where all those other modules are living?

Amazing fact: In the past 5 years, I've shipped close to 2 actual miles of
18-2 wire in harnesses (around 10,000 feet). Wouldn't it be fun to see all
those modules connected up one day? Wow. We could have a Z-only-NTS show.
