Construction is on hold.
Research is on "high priority".
And.....then we have the age old problem:
1- Hobby shops order from Distributors.
2- Distributors order from Manufacturers.
3- Manufacturers offer free shipping to Distributors, when a "specified quantity" order is met.
4. Distributors, list a product "Not in stock, delivery date unknown", until they have enough orders to receive the free
shipping.
5. It's beginning to look like my 2014 " Get Off Your Duff Challenge " will be installing the gearboxes on my 2-6-6-2.
I'll be working toward a painted, lettered, and "run double headed with a loco that has gears, semi finished model", and call this challenge done, when all that is left is "installing the gearboxes", and the universal drive mechanism.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
