I am planning on being there and running some GM&O stock and the Menard's Santa
Fe, if tracks are available. Any of the layouts work for me.

1. REMINDER, this coming Saturday, October 25th, from 9-12, the storefront
will be open to run trains. Let me know if you are coming........I want to
know if I need to bring more than a dozen donuts.......
2. Since the distance between the 12x15 and 21x42 opened up a little.....the
4’ cord cover was too short. I bought a 6’ one and am stretching it out (see
below)
3. This past Saturday, I was trying out the donated cinders ballast. This is
my 1st time using SuperWet. It is fantastic. I am a believer. The ballasting
game has changed! Cinders is the proposed color for the yard.
4. We have received some very good/good (condition) PostWar O27 passenger
cars. Unfortunately, they all have operable coil couplers and anytime they go
over a switch, they fire. I tried putting a little piece of black tape over
the contact. It works fine, but the friction on the slide shoe and the rail
lifts up the tape and they start firing again. Gary, anyone, do you have a
solution? I guess we can remove the connection to the pick up roller with
disturbing the wire to the illumination.......crazy glue would work to secure
the tape, but I didn’t want to permanently damage the pick up shoes. Jim
Barrett has a technique where he used a Dremel to file down the angle of the
shoe, but I didn’t want to attempt that without more research.
5. Member Paul Koza brought some books and placed them in the “FREE TO A
GOOD HOME” bin. One of the is: The Baltimore and Ohio in the Potomac Valley.
I borrowed it out of the box and read it this weekend. I will put it back in
the box. I am by no means a B&O fan, but I have lived in Cumberland for a
short period and in Baltimore for 4 years. It is an excellent book, minimal
reading but lots of well described pictures of the steam/diesel transition.
Marty McGuirk is also a knowledgeable railroader and good writer.
That’s all for now.
