Having rebuilt Armodilloville, maybe this is the 12th version, maybe more, I lit it up last evening
and to my lasting astonishment, it actually worked, even with some of my most persnickity
trains, such as the powered Varney Aerotrain. Simplifying the overall design really did help,
even though with all the structures crammed in, it looks quite large. This I learned by
watching RP's Alpine Valley and especially the Ephrates Valley Railroad.
Suffice to say, I may take you up, RP, on doing more with the WS cover. Initially, it was my intent to
use green sawdust, in fact I went so far as to dye my own, to get that Total Tyco look, but
I am beginning to think that might have a stronger visual. Also, I always liked the fallen
leaves painting your track way; that is a beautiful touch.
Anyways, I'm continuing to fight with, and learn Windows 10, and a few things more with Filmora.
The upgrade requires quite a few more steps than what I am used to, and this is not a pleasure
for me. I don't like playing hide-n-go-seek with these new programs. What is becoming increasingly
clear to me, is that a lot of the techs in Apple stores and on line have no more idea how to fix
stuff than I do. They are just more proficient at clicking on buttons. I do that, and entire
files disappear. Especially at Apple, and the other phone stores, if they can't fix it after a
cursory once over, they move right into to trying to upsell the latest device.
As MacBeth says, "(Argh), throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it!" Unlike MacBeth, another program
has taken over my computer, making it harder to look things up and throwing me a jillion ads,
even worse than before.
Anyways, for those of you suffering modern complaints, here is the latest edition of Armodilloville,
having torn it down, and rebuilt it. There is a red wire to one rail, and black to the other. That's it.
That's all I ever care to do.

The layout's looking good, as it that Alco PA. It looks like your struggles with video software are paying off. This time around, the video fills as much of the screen as possible, so whatever was letterboxing some of the previous ones down to a small horizontal image across a narrow vertical image across a horizontal screen has been conquered. Nice work all around!
Carpe Manana!

Great video! Love the new video style, also - more up-close train action!
