5-3 1:57:56	rvn2001	Good evening.
5-3 1:57:50	rvn2001	Hi John.
5-3 1:57:41	soccrdad30	Good evening Thom
1-3 19:07:55	GNFan	Bye.
1-3 19:07:47	GNFan	I have a task or two to see to, so I'll take my leave as well.
1-3 19:07:28	ejshelton	ZU all
1-3 19:06:58	ejshelton	Mee too.....I still need to get breakfast.....slept so late.
1-3 19:06:44	GNFan	ZU, Thom.
1-3 19:06:29	rvn2001	I should probably go check to see that all 6 of my trains are still running. Z y'all later.
1-3 19:04:49	ejshelton	ZU John
1-3 19:04:47	rvn2001	Bye, John.
1-3 19:04:37	GNFan	Bye, John.
1-3 19:04:36	rvn2001	I don't run my T scale upside down any more.
1-3 19:04:33	soccrdad30	see you on Wednesday, hopefully with some updates
1-3 19:04:19	soccrdad30	have a good day all! time for me to go
1-3 19:01:04	soccrdad30	along with safety helmuts
1-3 18:59:09	GNFan	There's a fix for everything, I suppose.
1-3 18:57:57	soccrdad30	Mike, not if the passengers were wearing magnetized boots
1-3 18:56:50	GNFan	If passenger- and freight- car wheels in T were also magnetized, the passengers and cargo might be upset running upside down.
1-3 18:56:18	rvn2001	The loco can't pull more than 1 extra car with magnetized wheels.
1-3 18:55:29	soccrdad30	strange, or I should say interesting
1-3 18:55:01	rvn2001	Correct, John.
1-3 18:54:47	rvn2001	Zn3
1-3 18:54:45	soccrdad30	Thom, so only the loco wheels are magnetized and not the rolling stock?
1-3 18:54:37	rvn2001	There are some people using T scale chassis for Zn#.
1-3 18:54:19	ejshelton	Hi Stony
1-3 18:53:54	rvn2001	Hi Stony.
1-3 18:53:47	GNFan	Hi, Stony.
1-3 18:53:45	rvn2001	I ran my locomotives upside down when I first got them to prove the point at train shows.
1-3 18:53:36	soccrdad30	Hello Stony
1-3 18:53:32	soccrdad30	has anyone done anything with the T track mechanism for Z?
1-3 18:53:27	stonysmith	hello!
1-3 18:52:58	soccrdad30	still very cool feature
1-3 18:52:42	soccrdad30	okay, I knew something was
1-3 18:52:10	rvn2001	The rails are steel. The wheels of the locos are magnetized.
1-3 18:51:55	soccrdad30	I remember when Thomas would some times run his train at an angle
1-3 18:51:21	soccrdad30	and the track is magnetized too?
1-3 18:50:49	soccrdad30	I did not know that
1-3 18:49:47	rvn2001	That's how the trucks are held onto T scale rolling stock.
1-3 18:47:20	soccrdad30	pins
1-3 18:47:17	soccrdad30	Nelson Gray used screws as bolster pine
1-3 18:46:16	rvn2001	You can also distort the end of the bolster pin with a pliers.
1-3 18:46:14	GNFan	That's my fix, too, Thom.
1-3 18:45:44	rvn2001	I glue bolster pins in if they become a frequent problem.
1-3 18:45:06	GNFan	If only bolster pins were metal....
1-3 18:45:01	ejshelton	Another hint from watch making. My late husband was into pocket watches.
1-3 18:44:33	rvn2001	I use a strong magnet if it's a metal piece.
1-3 18:44:00	soccrdad30	I have not tried that Ellen
1-3 18:43:44	soccrdad30	sometimes behind table or chair legs, or like I said, just bounced farther than expected
1-3 18:43:38	ejshelton	A vacuum with a ladies panty hose over it help...sometimes
