I am trying to reduce the weight of the module.  A detachable "box" would
also be easier to work on, no crawling under the module.

Jim Asked:

"Do you personally think you will build other modules to suit - or at
least encourage others so to do!!??  A 40-line module would be a natural
extension as well as a yard module to hold spare equipment!!"

I have already started planning a module if Southern Ave. at Natchez Street,
where I grew up.  I photographed and measured all the buildings on the block
and started collecting building kits that are close to matching.  This one
will take some time because buildings sake so long to make.

Another member of our club has plans for a South Hills Car House module that
will connect to mine.  I guess it is time to prod him a little.

I'll fix up the caption on the 1630 car that Jim and John commented on.
Thanks.

Bob
