13-9 17:13:13	rvn2001	Ellen called me yesterday morning because she couldn't find her T scale trains.
13-9 17:12:20	rvn2001	The cable I made to connect to the transformer allows the modules to be operated as a single line. The 2 single modules can operate as either double main lines or a single line.
13-9 17:11:53	DAZed	I thought I'd seen that Ellen was at a show, but thought maybe I'd dreamed that. Hope she's having fun.
13-9 17:10:31	rvn2001	Yup...no smoke escaped.
13-9 17:10:18	DAZed	smoke test was successful
13-9 17:09:22	rvn2001	I'm happy to report that everything is working well.
13-9 17:07:26	rvn2001	Transformer I bought...
13-9 17:06:59	rvn2001	I wanted to test the new transformer and cables that I made.
13-9 17:06:37	rvn2001	I set up the loop that I plan to add to my intersection modules. I have 2 single modules, one completed loop module and the other loop is sitting on some spare foam.
13-9 17:05:15	GNFan	5 trains? That's rather ambitious.
13-9 17:04:08	rvn2001	Ellen is running trains at a train show today. I am running 5 Z scale trains today.
13-9 17:03:30	GNFan	54 and raining heere. The Gn Regiional just left the station in a slow start.
13-9 17:02:14	rvn2001	How is Mike this morning?
13-9 17:01:21	GNFan	Hi, Doug.
13-9 17:01:16	GNFan	Hi, Thom.
13-9 17:01:11	rvn2001	Doin pretty good here too.
13-9 17:01:00	DAZed	hey Mike
13-9 17:00:53	DAZed	Doing pretty good, how 'bout yourself?
13-9 17:00:51	rvn2001	Hi Mike.
13-9 17:00:32	rvn2001	How are you this afternoon?
13-9 17:00:21	rvn2001	Hi Doug.
13-9 17:00:10	DAZed	HowdyZ Thom
10-9 2:06:40	GNFan	Bye Thom and Ellen.
10-9 2:03:52	ejshelton	Time for me to go. Won't be here Sunday since I have a train show
10-9 2:03:40	rvn2001	Well group, I'm gonna go check to zee that all of my trainz are ztill running. Z y'all later.
10-9 1:56:35	rvn2001	My fingers are having their own way this evening.
10-9 1:50:47	rvn2001	That was evident by the amount of stuff you had on Sahpeways.
10-9 1:48:17	stonysmith	but yes, I really love doing the modelling
10-9 1:48:01	stonysmith	small stuff can be 0.31mm thick.. large items (like these) need 0.71mm - EIGHT times thicker that what they sent me in the file
10-9 1:44:56	GNFan	I was about to ask about minimum dimensions in 3D printing, recalling previous discussions.
10-9 1:43:47	rvn2001
10-9 1:43:41	rvn2001	That sounds like a lot of fun....for you, not me.
10-9 1:42:55	stonysmith	to 3d print that.. you have to touch every single part making them 4x thicker
10-9 1:41:38	stonysmith	but the walls are in the file are setup as quarter-inch steel
10-9 1:40:49	rvn2001	That's so you have all the info you might need.
10-9 1:40:39	stonysmith	the Husky has 2197 separate peices
10-9 1:40:26	ejshelton	LOL
10-9 1:40:09	stonysmith	They send me the engineering diagrams.. every ***** nut, bolt and washer
10-9 1:37:56	stonysmith	Very
10-9 1:37:44	rvn2001	That should keep you busy for a little while.
10-9 1:37:03	stonysmith	I've got THREE new cars to design for Greenbriar.. 2 Tank cars and a 40' Husky Stack
10-9 1:34:35	GNFan	A Z scale train of the same loco wouldn't hold much popcorn!
10-9 1:33:56	rvn2001	That is a bummar!
10-9 1:33:37	ejshelton	I'm sure you did....lol
10-9 1:32:48	stonysmith	Yup.. I've not stopped complaining that it came without any popcorn in it
10-9 1:32:07	rvn2001	I just noticed...it's a popcorn bucket.
10-9 1:31:41	stonysmith	no.. sadly, the wheels don't turn
10-9 1:31:22	rvn2001	Do you have something for it to pull?
10-9 1:31:04	ejshelton	Cool
10-9 1:30:51	stonysmith	it even steams!
