Nah, don't bother. It was just a fleeting thought, really. It's not
often one hears the last name of the person one's town is named after in
the
same place he represented (West Sus***).

Interesting history, there. How much of it is fiction?

Well, I'll be danged. There it is. Hey, great to hear from you guys!
Tell Bevis that we said hi! ;-) Tell him that Dan had a heckuva wreck on
Monday...he went through a close mainline crossover and derailed just
about
every car in a tunnel. Then Dan tried to back up with disastrous results
(several jacknifed cars, etc.). Truly spectacular!

I believe it. But, um, does the real UP yard switcher have large foam
blocks on either end? LOL

Oh, agreed. I think if I were to do a similar switching layout for
the
public, I might use just the color of the car. Looking at the pics, you
have white, gray, blue, yellow, and brown cars. I'd probably draw a map
of
the layout, and color code it for the cars...just to make it even simpler
for the "guests" to use. What do you think?

Heh. The only way I'm going to try that one is if you ****p the whole
darn thing to our club. 3000 miles is a little far to go just to visit a
layout, and none of my family has traveled to England in some 25 years
(and
that was to see our relatives in York****re).
