Re: Mar. fun run

[Scott A Smiley <sc.smiley@juno.com>]

Sure glad you found time to work on this.  I have been working on another
scene for the layout.  Everyone needs to be thinking about putting our
best foot forward for the GATS show in June..  

I put my modified modules into the trailer as well as the new corner
cradle.  Hope you guys can use these for the fun run so we know things
work OK.  Sorry I will not be able to make it but the slopes are calling.
