hi ron, board and members,
i plan to attend all fun runs and shows scheduled in '02,  except austin
jamboree in round rock as i plan to attend flatonia show on the same day.
i can take the motor home and club trailer as required.

i planned my trip  overseas in betwewen show dates to avoid conflicts of
TTAT events.
please advise which events you want me to tow the  club trailer.

at the june 7 & 8 .02 fun run, i will spot the trailer  on or before 2 pm
Friday  06.07.02 
i plan to continue with my circus  theme with the CIRCUS TRAINS  and will
again install my interior modules to assemble the various consists.

i am working on a cantenary power supply for a small  0-72 circle with
with two 10 "  straights on parallel sides.
the horz cl is 5.0" , vert cl is 5.0" which is  well below our 6.5" on
the tracks 1&2. the structure foot print width is 7.0" and is symeterical
to the center rail.
my  corner with a 1235 config.might be a suitable take off point with
0-72 switches and suitable interior modules.
  
i assume that the engine will back feed the track with cantenary power,
which will require insolation of the center rail.   two engines can
operate on the same track if one engine has command control,  unless the
cantenary voltage plus the command control voltage drop is too low for
the command control train to operate.  
the oms voltage drop is about 2 volts, but i am not sure how many volts
the command control system comsumes .does anyone know the actual voltage
drop of the command control system ?
