My condolences to you and your Missus Bryster. It does sound like it may have been a blessing at this point of her life and declining health. Take your time dealing with the situation and family matters and let us know when you're ready to resume.

Thanks for the input Diolma and Rstar, I really appreciate it. I won't abandon the Flying Scotsman, but I will temporarily switch it onto a siding. I got a sudden inspiration(or at least an Idea) for the Oct-Nov. challenge and I've had a lot of fun working on it.
