Missed the Picture of the Day yesterday as I was in the middle of a computer rebuild, which is about as fun as a full rectal examination. We recently bought a new computer with a bit more horsepower for all the CAD that has to be done. Currently, next to answering email, CAD is what I spend the largest amount of time on.
The drawing on the middle screen is a 3D rendering of how to wire a turnout built in a Fast Tracks fixture. Ron did a great job making a “Help” page on the main site, and posted these drawings, along with some others here.
This is a shot of what I stare at all day long.

I built this turnout for a display that is used at various shows. I thought it is a good example of narrow gauge trackwork produced in the Fast Tracks fixtures, especially the “rustic” looking ties.

After looking at an old furniture factory, General store right beside a mainline, feed mill that generated its own power, 50 acre farm and countless houses, we finally bought a new house/factory!
While it isn’t any of the above cool places, the one we finally settled on still rates up there on the neat scale. It is 120 years old, and still in good shape, that is, it isn’t full of shoddy renovation attempts. Will need a bit of work, but that is made up for by its character, rural location, and ample space.
Best of all, we can move in and continue working with minimal disruption, and, finally, enough space to function!
I’ll keep my opinions of realtors to myself. Lets just say, lawyers don’t seem quite so bad anymore…..
