1-3 18:42:42	soccrdad30	if I don't find it after 5-10 minutes I walk away for a bit then look from different angles
1-3 18:42:28	ejshelton	My watchmaker friend used to say....watchmakers are very religious. They spend a lot of time on their knees. I think that applies here
1-3 18:41:55	soccrdad30	it is still carpeting no matter the cost
1-3 18:41:34	rvn2001	It's not really expensive carpet either which makes it thinner.
1-3 18:41:22	soccrdad30	it is bad when the little piece bounces farther than you expect it
1-3 18:41:04	GNFan	I know the feeling, John. I have a heavyweight passenger set that drops bolster pins very easily (not the snug fit they should be). My immediate project is to fix that problem.
1-3 18:40:48	rvn2001	True
1-3 18:40:33	soccrdad30	Berber is not as bad as Shag or thick carpeting
1-3 18:39:07	rvn2001	At least the carpet is Berber carpet.
1-3 18:38:39	rvn2001	Carpet and vinyl here.
1-3 18:38:11	soccrdad30	I makes it easier to find tiny pieces that fall
1-3 18:37:51	soccrdad30	I know so do we have them
1-3 18:36:44	GNFan	Wood floors, John. But you have a point.

1-3 18:36:01	soccrdad30	somehow I think Mike abhors vacuuming
1-3 18:34:14	GNFan	Nature (and model trains) abhor a vacuum.
1-3 18:34:09	ejshelton	Not really....a bigger place would just make more room for more Z
1-3 18:33:28	rvn2001	Mike would have to have bigger trains if he had a bigger apartment...
1-3 18:32:32	GNFan	Tempting, John. But a small place (550 sf) is my rationale for being in Z scale.
1-3 18:31:34	soccrdad30	Mike, get a bigger apartment
1-3 18:31:13	ejshelton	So have a patio sale
1-3 18:29:52	GNFan	Mike needs to clear off some of his dodgy furniture to make room for the (bigger than I expected) coffee table base.
1-3 18:29:16	rvn2001	That's why I bought all of the buildings for my city module from the same place. That way they would all be the same relative size.
1-3 18:28:15	soccrdad30	just thought I would check. The outland buildings are too symetrical and smaller than the 3d building that I have purchased
1-3 18:28:04	rvn2001	Is Mike doing any track planning for his new layout?
1-3 18:27:22	soccrdad30	no problem
1-3 18:27:19	soccrdad30	all of them have been painted, a few have been merged side by side
1-3 18:27:11	GNFan	Nor I, I expect.
1-3 18:25:53	rvn2001	Not I.
1-3 18:25:37	soccrdad30	speaking of buildings I have a bunch of Outland business buildings that I won't use. Does anyone need any?
1-3 18:25:36	GNFan	The rainy season would ruin them!
1-3 18:24:54	soccrdad30	absolutely right Mike.
1-3 18:23:38	GNFan	I don't imagine John wants to keep the roofless buildings roofless.
1-3 18:23:09	rvn2001	OK
1-3 18:22:54	soccrdad30	about 14 of them
1-3 18:22:46	soccrdad30	it isnt Thom, I still have my roofless buildings to use.
1-3 18:22:06	rvn2001	How can that be with all the buildings you have?
1-3 18:21:59	soccrdad30	then time to move on to a new project
1-3 18:21:32	ejshelton	Always nice to complete something
1-3 18:21:28	soccrdad30	Earlier this week I was busy mocking up my downtown area, but I still need to fill about 8 inches of the module
1-3 18:20:58	rvn2001	Sounds good, John. I'm sure you'll be happy to have them done.
1-3 18:20:15	soccrdad30	I am about done with painting my 3d buildings, next week I plan to work on their roofs and complete them
1-3 18:19:02	rvn2001	Yup. 2 N scale Climax locos. One was mostly built and just needed final assembly and painting. The other one I'll be building completely.
1-3 18:18:56	soccrdad30	I found a few projects in my 'black hole' the other day
1-3 18:18:06	soccrdad30	2 projects?
1-3 18:17:48	rvn2001	I brought 2 projects home from the layout I visited Thursday.
1-3 18:17:41	ejshelton	I've never specialized in any RR...if I like it I buy it
1-3 18:17:01	GNFan	Same, John. The only exception I'd ever make would be the Irish national railroad (passenger), Iarnród Éireann.
1-3 18:14:35	ejshelton	I just like interesting things....I don't care what RR they are
