28-5 1:33:56 rvn2001 I suspect it helped AZL.... :D
28-5 1:33:31 soccrdad30 has that helped in the past?
28-5 1:33:00 rvn2001 I hope so. The only thing I don't like is that we won't be right in front of the AZL booth this year.
28-5 1:32:07 soccrdad30 I am sure the modules and layouts you are taking will do the trick
28-5 1:31:17 rvn2001 whet their appetite?
28-5 1:31:03 soccrdad30 Whiztle Z!
28-5 1:30:31 rvn2001 Yes, they are. It will wet their whistle...
28-5 1:29:59 soccrdad30 true, but remember, they are paying to see model trains
28-5 1:29:23 rvn2001 They wouldn't have to look, but it would give them something to do while they were waiting.
28-5 1:28:30 soccrdad30 well, it would force show-goers to view Z before ever getting to the other scales
28-5 1:27:04 rvn2001 Could be.
28-5 1:26:47 soccrdad30 maybe this is a good thing
28-5 1:25:35 soccrdad30 :)
28-5 1:24:49 rvn2001 yup
28-5 1:24:35 soccrdad30 so, the public will have to pass by you to get to the show?
28-5 1:23:57 rvn2001 We'll be in the hall/atrium outside the show floor.
28-5 1:23:43 soccrdad30 Thom, you are on top of things. And it would not surprise me if you were right about being up against a wall
28-5 1:23:23 rvn2001 148 dquare feet.
28-5 1:22:55 rvn2001 I also had to redesign the space for the NTS. We're getting 148' less than I asked for. I also made a plan in case we're against a wall.
28-5 1:22:13 soccrdad30 I have about 4 different sized trees I am using
28-5 1:21:26 soccrdad30 ah, okay
28-5 1:21:11 rvn2001 ...and go to the top of the backdrop.
28-5 1:21:10 soccrdad30 ok, that would make them about 50' then
28-5 1:20:40 rvn2001 Yup. They are taller than the opening...
28-5 1:20:18 soccrdad30 for Z?
28-5 1:19:45 rvn2001 I used 3" to 5" tree armatures.
28-5 1:19:20 soccrdad30 then they go every inch
28-5 1:18:46 soccrdad30 1.5" TREES «link»
28-5 1:18:30 rvn2001 OK
28-5 1:18:16 soccrdad30 they have different sizes
28-5 1:17:51 rvn2001 Those look good, John...but they're only 1 inch tall.
28-5 1:16:55 soccrdad30 Moose Creek trees... «link»
28-5 1:16:27 rvn2001 Yes, John. We have a 40' X 40' space at the show now.
28-5 1:15:47 soccrdad30 but then again I see on ebay some Moose Creek trees that look good too
28-5 1:14:17 soccrdad30 that reminds me, I was going to email Loren to see if he had any extra trees to sell
28-5 1:14:16 rvn2001 ...and... I started working on scenery on the other interchange module.
28-5 1:13:41 soccrdad30 Thom, it sounds like you made some headway with NTS
28-5 1:13:33 rvn2001 I added trees around the opening in the backdrop of the original interchange TTZ module.
28-5 1:12:00 ejshelton Hi Mike Thom and John
28-5 1:11:31 soccrdad30 Same thought here Thom
28-5 1:11:22 GNFan Hi, Ellen.
28-5 1:11:15 soccrdad30 Hello Ellen
28-5 1:11:04 rvn2001 Hi Ellen.
28-5 1:10:57 rvn2001 That looks like it could be almost anything you want it to be, John.
28-5 1:09:19 soccrdad30 This is what I am waiting for, but I am not using it for a grain service. I think this building could be used for a helium plant I am working on. «link»
28-5 1:09:07 rvn2001 That's a nice variety.
28-5 1:07:50 soccrdad30 Here are the Z cars auction i won... «link»
28-5 1:07:23 rvn2001 I ordered 2 GP trucks from AZL Direct to replace 2 trucks that were damaged on Ellen's Indiana RR GP-38-2s.
28-5 1:06:26 soccrdad30 still working on ideas for details for the 3 x 2 layout
28-5 1:05:44 soccrdad30 I have not done much Z, but I did transplant about 100 pine trees from my test oval layout to the 3 x 2 layout, and I painted a Moose, bear, and a few bulldozers I got from Anthony
