HI, Guys;My friend Frank, took these awhile back;

this is in the spare room of the Florida house. it is built on a 7x3-foot flush door; and has more than 100 designated industries, most on the team tracks. There is a computer program that generates traffic onto it via removable car-floats, varied by day of week, and month of the year, from actual Erie schedules, with delay reports. "Bettsy" the car-clerk, has about 600 cars that CAN come in.

The fellows here, work mostly in the dark of night, with HO-Scale Brakemen's lanterns, and will take about 2 hours to deliver one float's cars. All of the structures have lights. The diesle has a DCC sound and light decoder, with prototype speed and brakng rates; the switches are all ground-thrown. The curve between the 2 yards is 14-inch radius, and cars are restricted to 50-footers, with metal wheels, and KD-Magna-matic couplers.

Lots of Fun, here. I've always done my best work, in the DARK!

73's, Charllie Gerow
