hi  steve from jas.e.smiley
in my opinion we need to refer to two days of work and running in Jan.
and:
	 establish an  under load test proceedure to test for voltage drop on
all tracks on all modules. . all trw cinch jones	 plugs 	should
resoldered.  all soldered connections of track to track should have
stranded cu, jumpers incorporated into the 	soldered connections to take
the stress that solder alone cannot do satisfactorly, track to harness
and harness 	to 	harness should be resoldered. electroic tuner spray
might be used on all removeable surfaces.
	any track with dimpled ties should have the tie  releveled.
	any rusty track pins should be replaced.

	Modules should follow the balast width specified in the club rules.

	the horizontal and verticle clearances should be checked for compliance 
to club rules

comments :   i suggest  club rules  be amended to consider the plight of
long trains and the time needed to set up and take town. i would
recommend that the fat controller  allocate no more than 1 hour on any
track to permit rotation of all tracks to waiting members.

their is a maximun skyboard height of 8 " someplace. where ever it is ,
it is not easy to locate and should moved to the fat controllers duties.

  when we not paid for our participation , i suggest that we pass up the
show rather that have our club running a raffel tabe to come out with
finds to meet our expenses. i personally perfer running trains over
running a raffel. bye,    bj.1
