    Yeah I call it a flying E. My last name is Eastman and that E keeps showing up all over the place. Even have a ring of them tattooed around my left arm... Either dedication to my road or plain nuts. haven't figured that out yet.

    Yup the first 70mac has flares on it. Still need to fabricate the bulge under the inertial filter on the engineers side. This one is the experiment and so far it's working out.

    Makes good sense. Maybe you should ask the missus for a digicam for Christmas, birthday, etc. We want more pics!

    Sherman Hill Model RR Club's N layout is small, 4x8' but my coalie put on a nice show at 15MPH. Here's a few random flash shots that turned out wierd, but cool:

    Now, this is what I call speed lettering!

    Great stuff! Glad to see they are to your satisfaction.
    That flex will work great in hidden staging.

    Mike, love it. I have enjoyed watching your progress.
    The best shot is crossing the bridge. Then again, as i scrolled through the pics i knew it would be and could not wait for it.
    Nice, very nice.
