new tracks

Bob Gillard in Grants Pass, Or. has a new set for sale at $2000.  If you know someone close to him that would be willing to bring them down to TP for you, you could save on shipping.

Can not make it from the east coast, so drink a few for me.
About mid week I will start a "rescue fund" on the board in case the rest of us at home have to post any bail money to help get any of you freed.
Have a great time.

As Don said we sure had quite a crowd at my cabin for the get together. It was fun to hear what every one had and what stages their projects were in. John S. was there with his beer cart making sure everyone had a cold one and someone else (sorry, I didn't get a name) had a halftrack engine on a test stand giving demos of it running. We even had some good questions asked and troubleshooting sessions. Rod Shaver was also on hand to shed some light on future parts availability. I will have a list of attendees posted shortly but here are some photos of the event and a group shot. I think next year will be even bigger.
