2-8 17:46:58	stonysmith	these days.. not sure I could tell that could even see that it was 4" long
2-8 17:45:48	soccrdad30	Ah, should have gotten a bonus grade Stony
2-8 17:45:48	GNFan	Hi, Stony.
2-8 17:45:11	stonysmith	I could see it plain as day.. he couldn't
2-8 17:44:43	stonysmith	back in 7th grade shop, I told the teacher that this 4 inch peice of plexiglas was thinner on one end than the other. he didn't believe me till he pulled out the micrometer and sure enough. 0.01mm thinner
2-8 17:44:37	GNFan	Pretty much, John.
2-8 17:43:39	soccrdad30	that was their 'play routine'
2-8 17:43:17	GNFan	Ine = one
2-8 17:43:06	GNFan	Yup! They disagreed over several things, none of them earthshaking. This was ine of them.
2-8 17:41:56	soccrdad30	ha! Mom was calling him out?
2-8 17:41:27	GNFan	Dad used to insist that he could tell, without a light meter, that “it’s an f-stop brighter”. Mom was not convinced that he could tell the difference.
2-8 17:41:08	DAZed	hi Stony
2-8 17:40:56	soccrdad30	Hello Stony
2-8 17:40:46	stonysmith	hola
2-8 17:40:02	soccrdad30	when I take photos, I like to use the sun as much as possible
2-8 17:39:07	soccrdad30
2-8 17:38:46	GNFan	Sunlight is best. I’m the son of a professional photographer, and I picked up some preferences.
2-8 17:37:52	soccrdad30	we are finally getting some sunlight ourselves after two days of overcast skies
2-8 17:37:21	soccrdad30	right, but still not as good as sunlight
2-8 17:36:37	GNFan	The main room is lighted by overhead halogen, lots of light, but lots of shadows, too.
2-8 17:34:41	soccrdad30	Daylight is much better than the auditorium lighting
2-8 17:34:14	soccrdad30	I have to agree with Mr. Ray
2-8 17:33:49	GNFan	Yes, having daylight is nice.
2-8 17:32:52	GNFan	When Z enters, Z tends to do well. Robert Ray says that Z is an advantage over larger scales for the judging criteria.
2-8 17:30:39	soccrdad30	I liked the winning Z module. Very well thought out and detailed
2-8 17:28:56	GNFan	Full of people, not full of e
2-8 17:28:45	soccrdad30	Mike, your pix were very nice, I like the sunshine coming in
2-8 17:28:15	soccrdad30	I found 5 of the kits Doug. 3 are CP, 1 BCIT, and last one has 3 options
2-8 17:27:06	GNFan	Back to the show for a sec: the main room is huge, and full of e. Our flow is comfortable and persistent. Nice.
2-8 17:25:08	DAZed	Yes, I think he did several versions. I'd still interested in seeing what you have and prices. I think at least one version of the frame-type centerbeam was different than AZL's, which would be what I would look for. (and even the exact model wouldn't be too hard to modify to one of the variants.)
2-8 17:22:58	soccrdad30	Okay, after chat I will take some pix and send them to you via FB
2-8 17:22:25	soccrdad30	Ugh, sorry they are not Opera beams, these were produced by Mr. Ray
2-8 17:22:24	GNFan	I would like to see the photos, John.
2-8 17:21:10	DAZed	John are those the opera beams? Either way, I'm interested for sure.
2-8 17:20:19	DAZed	sounds like the show is meeting expectations for a good time. Glad y'all are enjoying it.
2-8 17:20:09	soccrdad30	Doug, not sure if still want the photos of the Z scale 73' centerbeam kits that I have or Mike if you want to see the photos of the Chicago Rail Company Great Northern hopper cars
2-8 17:19:39	DAZed	ha, that's true
2-8 17:18:21	GNFan	I’m a librarian, Doug. We don’t know everything, but we do know how to find it out!
2-8 17:16:56	soccrdad30	Mike, I would like to think you would know 99% of all words, of all people
2-8 17:15:43	GNFan	Doug, who you calling verbose without explaining what it means?
2-8 17:14:59	soccrdad30	I am glad you guys are both here... I owe you both some photos. Something I promised both of you a while back... I finally found all of the stuff and really got down to straightening my Z
2-8 17:14:00	DAZed
2-8 17:13:55	GNFan	Hi, Doug.
2-8 17:13:55	DAZed	here I thought I was gonna come to ZCS and be able to get a few words in without Mike's verbosity. Yet, here he is.
2-8 17:13:13	soccrdad30	Hello Doug
2-8 17:13:09	soccrdad30	from your photos, it looked like a nice spot
2-8 17:13:08	DAZed	HowdyZ
2-8 17:12:47	soccrdad30	I am with you there. Thom had his druthers before the show too
2-8 17:12:16	GNFan	The paperwork story is the official word. The cynical among us are suspicious.
2-8 17:11:23	soccrdad30	did that scheduler apologize for anything?
