Now that's just cruel. Although initially I though the guy squirted a tube of wasabi at her. Kind of weird to do it indirectly via a pants slap.

DAMN IT!

Looks like Epcot has fallen by the wayside again. No expansion. No Upgrades. Nothing.

.....I think I need a hug. :(

They are working on refurbishing the Test Track ride, so it isn't a total loss. ;)

That's only because GM demanded it or would have pulled out of the sponsorship completely, at least from what I heard.

Well, after a trip to Milepost 38 yesterday, the Cuddlebug has decided that she wants to get into Model Railroading with me. We've agreed on N Scale, since I already am working in it and we can share traction and stock. So, after a day of work in XTrack CAD, I came up with this:



This will be a 8' by 4' table layout, although with room to expand into an additional modular table and possibly shelf extensions. It has a double main line oval, with a mountain spur line (the dog bone section in the center,) and a small locomotive support yard. It's set in the mid 1950s, just before the final phasing out of steam, and she's "Santa Fe all the way," just like me, so this'll give us an excuse to use my full consist Super Chief. There will be two passenger stations, one along the top edge of the main line, near the yard, and a small platform in the lower right corner area (which will be a small town, assumed to be somewhere along Route 66.) The mountain spur line is tentatively to be raised to an elevation of two inches over the baseboard.

Very nice, CBeilby! I keep trying to get back into model railroading, but of the three things needed, I can never seem to get more than 2 -- time, space and money.

I didn't know where to put this, so I put it here. Mickey Mouse spotted on Mercury. ;)

Dang. I was impressed with the Imagineers already, but this...
