    Mr. T,
    You have a nice curve 3 blocks from your house. Or are you going to head to Palasades (sp?)?

    I'll be in Missouri along the Marceline Sub just outside KC.

    This turned out to be more of a grab shot than I would have liked. Here the Ski Train cruises down grade approaching West Tolland.

    Wow! That inside curve on the right must be a screamer for the flanges!:eek:mg: Looks like a bunch of ribbon rail lying there in front, too.
