The ROCK 3.0: Peru Power Construction Continues

This evening, I wandered over to Peru to see that construction has resumed on the Peru Power Plant.  It is good to see crews engaged in work once again.  It appears crews were working on the rear wall today.




Next Op Session
Good news!  The next operating session date has been set for September 12th.  That gives me a little over five weeks to get some work done on the layout!  I'm excited!  I always get more done pre-op session than any other time of the year.


In other news, I received the results back from my 48-hour heart monitor test.  The doctors found that I had a 13 second episode of SVT (or superventricular tachycardia) during my sleep.  Basically, the wiring in my heart is messed up and my heart rate will jump up for no reason.  I'm being referred to a Cardiologist to see what the next steps are for discovery and treatment.

Otherwise, I have been extremely busy with lots of family time, so train time has been very limited.  I'm doing my best to get something done as I do have a date set to operate.

    Good that you now know your condition. I am sure they can fix that easily these days Steven.
    I have just had a Life Like GP18 hi nose in Rock livery returned from a mates layout. It has a Digitrax decoder fitted. Do you know if any body would be interested at A$65.00. ONO plus postage. It has hardly been run and I have weathered it slightly.
    keep well.
    Rod.

      I think they will be able to fix it pretty easy too. I'm just glad they are on to something now. Is the GP18 HO or N? I'll check around.

      Steven The Loco is N Scale. It is red with yellow ends and the words Rock Island in large lettering on the sides in white.

      Ok, I believe I know the one. Is it road #1343 or #1346?

      It is Road # 1343. Perhaps I should have said all this in the beginning. LOL.

      No problem. I'll ask around to see if anyone is interested. I have both of those units currently.

    Hi Steven. Thanks no need to ask around I sold the Loco last night to a mate who I thought didn't need any more.
