I could meet you at your house some evening after work. I get off around 6:30 or 7:00. Let me know when it is convenient for you.
I was wondering about the setup at SA. Was the reverse curve using Trk 5 as Trk 1 or Trk 4 as Trk 1? Trk 5 diameter is 54" and I believe Trk 4 is a 54" plus 72" combo. I noticed the Big Boy wheels were not touching the rails all the time especially while trying to start moving from a stop. It might make a difference on the overhang.
Ricky and I will attend the Austin show. We will try to make it to Flatonia on sunday. Ron, you should have seen the Big Boy with 34 cars behind it. It was awesome.
