S'okay James. Using something for what it was designed really isn't what we're about. Is it? Frosty

That sounds good till you realize the VAST majority of what I know is useless, made up or wrong all together. I found the pics of the clips by searching the web for "RR track parts" and sifting through the hits till I found a pic. It's not really about knowing very much, it's knowing just enough to know where to look for what you need to know. If you know what I mean, ya know?  Frosty

LOL, Frosty, that maybe true, but to quote my math(math for non math major 101) prof, a calculator is the greatest mathmatical adavancement, but it is useless unless you know how to get where yer going(with your calculations) with out it, but I have yet to get *bad* information from anyone here yet although I always try to verify any ideas or at least apply my own "backyard engineer" knowlege of what doesnt work and what wont get me hurt or burn down the ranch... It all goes to the give a man a fish/teach him to fish thing. Besides you got to have somekinda brain, you landed in AK.

Shhhhh. Actually I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, in LA county. Originally I intended to move into the woods once I got here. When I saw the worst traffic jam in Anchorage's history was lighter than lines in my high school cafeteria I decided I didn't need to become a hermit to get out of the crush. Frosty

If by "jam" you mean the goo that's between their hooves after the encounter. . . Yeah. Right now it's full blown construction season so you may get caught in traffic for a while. In winter there are the rubber neckers holding things up gawking at the ditch divers. With fuel prices being what they are we're not getting caught behind as many motor homes so that's a bonus. But yeah, compared to L.A. rush hour, even 36 years ago we don't have traffic jams. Where around Anchorage are your kin? I'm about 50 miles north on the Parks Hwy, just past Wasilla. Frosty
