Right, in exchange for the totally ridicuously tight/unrealistic curvature, we
get layouts that can fit on card tables. Not a bad trade. O scale curves need
to be 48 radius or bigger to look good. I find LEGO(tm) trains ideal for me (Ex
HO modeler) as I am too fat fingered to treat HO gently enough for it to be
reliable.

There is a partly done glossary at my web site... surf to
http://my.voyager.net/lar/gloss.html
I welcome requests for additional definitions. Send email to my CTP address, or
post here

Hm... where is Evergreen in relation to Denver?? Hmm! 15 miles from Lakewood. I
feel a road trip coming on this weekend. :-)

I was beginning to wonder when someone would notice the sale reference. I do
not know if there are any left, but will check if you e-mail me. There were a
lot to begin with, but the word did go out on the Mommy net (faster than the
internet, you know. But were you just kidding? Because I got the impression
from your web page that you lived back east.
Make it a good day. Louise

Thanks, do let me know if you have stuff that needs defining.

Yes, you'll learn that I am unusual in that I bop around a lot on biz. I am in
CO for a while on a fairly long term project. Evergreen is a 10-15 mile road
trip for me from Lakewood. I happen to be here this weekend but most weekends I
fly home "back east". (1)

1 - although I prefer to think of Ada as in the MidWest. :-) Back east is where
those rude New Yorkers live. :-)
PS - Louise, there is something you're doing that is changing the newsgroups
line... I dunno if you're using the web interface or not, but your followups
are set to funny things.. the post I am referencing has the followup set to
"TrainatWalmart" which breaks the posting process. If you want to change
subjects, do it in the subject box rather than the followups box. Followups are
to direct posts to another newsgroup from the one you are on.

Thanks for the gentle help.
