Incredibly nice modeling of the whole scene.     Could you Please share some
more photos of your layout?     Layout schematic?

Since you earned your award at the NMRA meet, why not submit your article to
the NMRA as well?     Precious little on Traction there and they may really
embrace the article.     Remind the NMRA that you won an NMRA award at the
Michigan meet.

Peter Weiglin is experiencing great delays in publishing TT  --  it is Very
Difficult to step into something and be Up To Speed right from the get go
especially when this is not the primary business but a Hobby Related
Business.     Peter is employed full time elsewhere, has a Family, and
enjoysother hobbies which require his traveling!     It doesn't help that we
enjoy a hobby that is on the decline!     There were fits and starts to TT
after Birdella Wagner  --  someone here in Marin purchased it but didn't
makea go of it.     Then it went to the former Priest who diligently built
itup where advertizing increased significantly!     Hope Peter is able to
further the tradition with TT.     It   I~S  volunteer articles like yours
which keep such a publication going.
