Inbound from Crenshaw!!!! By: Steve  Claude	Comment Entered: 2/16/2010 9:01:25 PM By: Phil  Cohen - Torrance, CA Wow, I am impressed! Good job.   Comment Entered: 2/17/2010 7:08:11 AM  By: Charlie  Giordano - Torrance, CA how long we gonna make this go up? Is all that track for this or we goning to run some track somewhere else? Id like to start gradding down the land behind the club house and start laying track back there for another yard. Would be nice to put a steaming bay or two back there or another lift table! Make us more meet freindly   Comment Entered: 2/17/2010 7:15:50 AM  By: Steve  C - RPV For now I am going to try to finish at the end of the school maint. yard. We still need some more track for that and the ties that are back ordered.   Comment Entered: 2/17/2010 3:51:52 PM  By: Charlie Giordano   -  Ya im thinking about going up next time im at work day and seeing if I could add maybe a little more length to end track where u back up into turn table. I think we extended that and maybe even moved the switch up to a higher position we could run bigger trains up and feel a little safer when pulling up and not running into those rocks! maybe build a little STOP sign to or end of track buffer that looks nicer than a pile of concrete or watever it is!
