Hi Jim,

Thanks - you've been around since my earliest forays into modeling.

Always a pleasure - sir.

Scott I still enjoy LHR #12, somethings never get old, unlike me.

I sure enjoyed that video, Scott! Especially the sound effects.

Used to have lunch after church every week within sight of that spot.

Hi Jim,

Yeah - I’ve placed track a few times on Rich’s LHR from Hudson Yard to Martins Creek - while I can do it - I’m just not good at it. Track laying is probably my weakest skill - I just don’t have the patience for all the small track bits. Some day…

Hi Christopher,

Looks like a nice area - I need to swing up that way sometime. One part of the sound environment that’s really worth while is Erick’s freight car sounds - I like the cascading coupler slack effects as you start a train.

Hi Scott,
A little off topic but did you happen to see the train that hit the airplane here in my neck of the woods?

Hi Jim,

Yeah - I had seen it but it's still absolutely incredible to watch. Kudo's to those police officers. As a pilot - my two hobbies intersected on that one - literally. One of my favorite aviation sayings - "once you have a problem - the plane belongs to the insurance company". Too many people have died trying to "save the plane".

Just luck that the police saw it go down. If it had been a 911 call for help it would have been to late.

Reminds me of the phrase "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate" saving the plane must be number 4..
