2-11 18:32:29	GNFan	So getting to the point of drop in (and afterwards getting back out) is the challenge?
2-11 18:32:03	DAZed	or maybe McGyver is a better comparison...trying to find the right mix of wrong tools for the job to make it work
2-11 18:31:11	DAZed	the install was easy. Getting the shell off was like something from an Indiana Jones movie. One wrong move and BAM, arrow gets ya, or a giant boulder falls on top of you.
2-11 18:29:53	GNFan	Not exactly "drop in", Doug?
2-11 18:29:09	rvn2001	That's what I've heard.
2-11 18:28:53	GNFan	"If I were a rich man / Chugga-chugga choo-choo / Chugga-chugga chooooooo...."
2-11 18:28:53	DAZed	that SW1500 was a booger
2-11 18:28:31	rvn2001	Progress is progress...
2-11 18:28:08	DAZed	I haven't tested them yet though.
2-11 18:27:51	DAZed	I did actually do some model railroading this week. Installed decoders in my newly acquired SW1500 and GP35.
2-11 18:27:03	rvn2001	Same here, Doug.
2-11 18:26:40	DAZed	If I were rich it would definitely be a purchase
2-11 18:26:26	DAZed	I agree, that is an amazing set of passenger cars/locos
2-11 18:22:15	rvn2001	I agree, Mike.
2-11 18:21:54	GNFan	Credit to AZL for doing complete passenger sets, though. MTL never got past their first four car types (baggage, dome, sleeper, coach), eventually tacking on business.
2-11 18:20:54	rvn2001	I thought it was the wrong era for you.
2-11 18:20:02	ejshelton	It does.....just looks weird. Maybe if I'd seem the movie it would look better. lol
2-11 18:19:44	DAZed	it's all early 70's mostly. Except for the SW1500s and the Ortners are sort of tweeners
2-11 18:19:14	GNFan	The movie was in black and white...so it makes a certain amount of sense.
2-11 18:19:07	DAZed	No, zero interest in any of the Amtrak stuff
2-11 18:18:52	rvn2001	It is painted in real colors. I just thought it might look good in b&w.
2-11 18:18:14	ejshelton	I saw that. Looks good. A little strange in black and white.....but correct
2-11 18:17:41	rvn2001	I finished the Bates Motel. Pic on the home page here.
2-11 18:15:51	ejshelton	I would be. Its just a little north of here.....
2-11 18:15:06	rvn2001	That would be great!
2-11 18:14:28	ejshelton	I got a batch of 3-D printed vehicles from a friend who's trying to get into Z. He's been making a lot as he's trying to get the shop he works in to get more Z. He's set up a layout for them...hoping it works
2-11 18:13:00	rvn2001	Will Doug be getting a full Amtrak set?
2-11 18:12:23	DAZed	May be jumping in and out, busy day
2-11 18:12:20	ejshelton	Hi Doug
2-11 18:12:12	ejshelton	Absolutely did....at least for me. The library kids are usually well behaved....and very curious.
2-11 18:12:11	GNFan	Hi, Doug.
2-11 18:12:00	rvn2001	Hi Doug.
2-11 18:11:59	DAZed	HowdyZ All
2-11 18:11:26	rvn2001	Did everything stay on the tracks?
2-11 18:11:00	ejshelton	Good train show at a library yesterday. Lots and lots of kiddoes
2-11 18:10:32	ejshelton	Yes it was. He wanted my spot. He was there when I got in....and he's back there
2-11 18:09:56	rvn2001	That was awfully nice of him...
2-11 18:09:56	GNFan	I've tried to absorb those threads a couple of times - I read the forums before ZCS chat. Let's say that the signal-to-noise ratio is pretty lousy/low.
2-11 18:09:21	ejshelton	Ouch Thats not fun. 51 and cloudy here. Good thing Trevor woke me up for chats. He heard the alarm and I was laying there. He told me its time to get up
2-11 18:08:09	rvn2001	Sunny here with temps in the upper 40s.
2-11 18:07:36	GNFan	Doing fine. High clouds and in the 50s here - we had "flood warning"-level rains on Halloween night.'
2-11 18:06:49	rvn2001	They certainly are!
2-11 18:06:18	GNFan	I read Trainboard and AZL Forum before this chat. I'll say that the AZL releases speculation threads are ridiculously verbose.
2-11 18:05:55	rvn2001	How is Mike this morning?
2-11 18:04:46	rvn2001	You too, Ellen.
2-11 18:04:39	rvn2001	Perfect, Mike
2-11 18:04:10	GNFan	Hi, Thom. Hi, Ellen.
2-11 18:03:59	GNFan	(Font color check...much better.)
2-11 18:03:37	ejshelton	Hi Mike
2-11 18:03:35	rvn2001	Hi Mike.
