I've always liked your layout. You could always put one of your planes as a display in one of the vacant areas.

The tab on the bushing goes into a slot in one of the chassis halves.

I will be at the NTS running the 40' X 20' layout so I won't be able to view the new announcement video until late Sunday night or Monday morning.

Just a quick reminder. The NTS in Collinsville, Illinois is this coming weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and running trains.

I run DC only too. I usually put the slower loco in the front to avoid un-coupling. I haven't seen any problem so far.

Our space has been changed again. We're back up to 40' X 20'.

The layout coordinator usually gives me the space I request, and I submitted an actual layout plan. I have never asked for space without making an actual layout plan. That's the reason I ask for participants and modules as early as I can. The Gateway Convention Center is considerably smaller than most of the venues the NMRA uses for the NTS. You'll see the space available when you get there. At least we'll be on the main floor instead of one of the meeting rooms. A lot of people just walk by those and don't bother to come inside. As an example: Free Mo-HO only gets an area 25 X 50 and Free Mo-N only gets 25 X 70. I'm sure you know that they usually take up an extremely large portion of the available layout space. I had planned on leaving one of the long sides open for 3 tables for the T-track-Z modules. Their modules won't be coming so I'll still be able to include most, if not all, of the modules that I had included in the original plan. We'll still have fun and be on the main floor where most people will still be able to see our layout easily.

Latest News: Our layout size has been reduced once again. It will now be 30' X 20". I'll need to look at the layout design and make some modifications.

I have just received verbal confirmation of our participation in the 2022 NTS in Collinsville, Illinois. We have been approved for a 40' x 20' area instead of the 46' x 20' area we requested. See you there?

I think that's an excellent idea!
