| 7-12 19:04:11 | rvn2001 | It's an RDC-3 according to the Budd RDC .Org. website. «link» |
| 7-12 19:03:54 | DAZed | some number between 2 and infinity |
| 7-12 19:02:59 | DAZed | RDC's aren't my strength |
| 7-12 19:02:45 | DAZed | well, I think it was an RDC3....I'll qualify it was an RDC>1 |
| 7-12 19:01:45 | Guba | Didn't buy any black friday specials last year and this year so far disappointing too. |
| 7-12 19:00:22 | DAZed | AZL did make an RDC3, but they are long sold out, and supposedly the tooling is lost. |
| 7-12 18:59:16 | GNFan | Doug |
| 7-12 18:59:06 | GNFan | Got it. Thanks, Thom, and Doiug. |
| 7-12 18:58:27 | DAZed | *not |
| 7-12 18:58:22 | DAZed | I don't know that answer. I have heard it referred to as an RDC3, but that could have been generically meaning "non and RDC1". |
| 7-12 18:58:02 | rvn2001 | RDC 3 according to RR Picture Archives. |
| 7-12 18:57:46 | GNFan | I may pick up a Black Friday special if I know which to get.... |
| 7-12 18:56:05 | GNFan | Well, as a surprise, here's an actual Z question: was the Great Northern's only RDC, #2350, an RDC 3 or an RDC 5? A photo: «link» |
| 7-12 18:55:56 | rvn2001 | True |
| 7-12 18:55:22 | DAZed | at least the sugar wasn't fermented....that is usually the problem with punch at weddings. |
| 7-12 18:53:14 | GNFan | That's what I figured, Doug. |
| 7-12 18:52:49 | GNFan | At my parents' wedding, my mother's teetotaler family was in charge of the punch, and pretty much overdid it on the sugar. Someone from my father's family - who were known to imbibe - noted that "the only thing you can get from the punch is a diabetic reaction." |
| 7-12 18:52:40 | DAZed | I think so Mike, one more packet than is needed for a level table. |
| 7-12 18:49:35 | GNFan | Is that what is meant by a "sugar high"? |
| 7-12 18:49:17 | DAZed | Sweet and Low(er, lower, nope higher, yep perfect) |
| 7-12 18:48:41 | rvn2001 | Sweet 'N' Low doesn't raise the table as high as regular sugar. |
| 7-12 18:46:48 | GNFan |
So, Doug, you're using Sweet 'N' Low instead?  |
| 7-12 18:44:11 | rvn2001 | That's good. |
| 7-12 18:44:08 | DAZed | without using sugar packets |
| 7-12 18:43:52 | DAZed | but in theory it has that capability now |
| 7-12 18:43:32 | DAZed | Well, at the moment no |
| 7-12 18:42:15 | rvn2001 | So...is your table all level now, Doug? |
| 7-12 18:38:58 | rvn2001 | That's good. |
| 7-12 18:37:48 | Guba | Yes, 4 corner modules 245/270 radius. I ordered 2 quint modules, haven't recieved them yet. |
| 7-12 18:35:25 | rvn2001 | Did you ever get the large end modules, Joe? |
| 7-12 18:35:01 | Guba | I'm working on a triple module at the moment. |
| 7-12 18:30:31 | rvn2001 | I've only got commitment for modules/layouts, with dimensions, from one person (not including Mike and Ellen) so far. |
| 7-12 18:27:18 | rvn2001 | That group is sponsored by the NMRA so they get to use the NMRA website. |
| 7-12 18:25:36 | rvn2001 | Somebody else said that registration for the NTS was already up. It's only registration for the T-Track-N module layout that's up right now. |
| 7-12 18:25:22 | DAZed | I did work on the layout this weekend. I was preparing to laminate the foam together but reviewing the application instructions the first disclaimer was "do not apply in temps below 65deg." But I did finish installing the leveling legs. |
| 7-12 18:24:15 | Guba | Gotcha |
| 7-12 18:23:26 | GNFan | Joe, that's the NMRA convention site, with the NTS among the scheduled events - which is helpful. But NTS itself has yet to show itself for 2026. |
| 7-12 18:22:02 | rvn2001 | What you're looking at is the schedule for the convention, Joe. |
| 7-12 18:21:08 | Guba | RDC's not my intrest |
| 7-12 18:20:43 | DAZed | I probably will if they haven't sold out by the time something else of interest comes along |
| 7-12 18:20:25 | DAZed | I did not buy any RDC's....yet. |
| 7-12 18:20:14 | Guba | «link» |
| 7-12 18:19:31 | GNFan | Not helpful to see it's already happened. :-} |
| 7-12 18:19:31 | Guba | Really? What I'm looking at says tentative, and a whole list of days. |
| 7-12 18:19:29 | rvn2001 | They haven't opened the 2026 web site yet. |
| 7-12 18:18:39 | GNFan | The NTS site is stuck on the 2025 show in Michigan. |
| 7-12 18:18:13 | rvn2001 | Yup. I saw that. it only says that it's happening. |
| 7-12 18:18:02 | Guba | Activities, schedule, LOL. |
| 7-12 18:17:42 | rvn2001 | Did Doug buy any of the RDCs? |
| 7-12 18:17:29 | Guba | Under schedule tab, activities. |
