Preliminaries on the John Fitch

[Brenton Baker]

I have updated the layout drawings to reflect the new engine.
I also shifted the engineer's seat forward (not sure why I originally put it so far from the boiler).

Side note: would it be better if I were to upload the pictures to a Photobucket album, Wordpress blog, or some other website, instead of directly to the forum? Bandwidth is money.

Looks good Brenton. Photobucket is much better IMO as it doesn't use as much bandwidth as previously mentioned and users can view pictures without having to log in.

Did you ever make it to the delta meet?

(I've started uploading all the pictures on Photobucket)

My father and I made it, the midpoint of what became a two-week last-hurrah trip through California to see all the sites my father had neglected while growing up in Northridge. I watched you warm up and take off for the night run with a fully-loaded boat. I ended up getting a ride with Bart and his son. I will be posting pictures and video as soon as I have a real computer (kind of hard to carry my X51 and monitor around from hotel to hotel).

I guess we didn't get a proper introduction. Don't be afraid to push and elbow your way into getting a ride.
