  1. That is definitely out of my price range. The LGB code 332 track they are using in the Germany set runs $8-10 dollars a foot. Switches are in the $150 dollar range. Yep, mine was an expensive tree.........
  2. They could donate it to me! I just lost about 100 feet of track and some trestles to a tree coming down on it. Thank goodness no buildings were lost. That whole endeavor waa started because of the LGB set in Germany. Glad to see it being reworked. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
  3. We were trapped in an exterior elevator at the Pop Century one year in August with the kids for 45 minutes......
  4. Did I read correctly that the oven uses propane? If so it is not a pizza oven. Pizza ovens use wood! That is just another gas grill which is similar to the Camp Chef Artisan Pizza add-on. I can make a more authentic WFO pizza on my converted Weber Kettle. The high temp is nice but without the wood flavor its just another pizza.
  5. I do not see a simple carb. replacement/swap as being anywhere near the cost threshold it would take to compare to swapping in a diesel engine. I diesel is no where near as simple as swapping in a different gas engine. There are several items to consider that will significantly add to the cost of the swap. I am attaching an article that discusses in greater detail some of the challenges you will encounter. Anyways, good luck on which ever route you choose.

  6. Not Disney but equally impressive! warning some F bombs used. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1K2I1bbrh2E
  7. So once you figure the machine out, will you start taking orders? What about some custom items? What format would you need the design in?
  8. I can tell you we made a difference and the family is truely appreciative. Alot of Fiends came together to make this happen and even some campers from Michigan who I hope will now join the Fiends. The gift of giving is what the season is all about, from my family to all of yours have a very merry Christmas.
  9. Just and Ken we are stepping out to Downtown Disney for a little feel free to give them directly to the family. Their site is 1435.
  10. A camper across from me heard the story and also donated some pins
  11. Just spoke with the little girls family and they had to change plans and are leaving tomorrow. If you ate here and have pins you will need to swing then by today.
  12. Ken and Judy, we are at the campsite all day today if you have the opportunity to stop by or I can come by your site. Sorry we missed you
  13. We will be at magic Kingdom today we plan on taking a afternoon break but not sure of the time.
  14. The 1400 loop has been a little chaotic this trip. Last night during the meet and greet there was a row truck, security and emergency services in the loop. No idea what was going on.
  15. We were at the pool... Sorry we missed you. My wife says we are going to stop by for the meet and great tonight.
  16. We just extended or trip by 2 days so we leave the 23rd now.
  17. You guys are awesome. I wish we could stay longer and meet all of you.
  18. The little girls camp site is 1435 and they are here through Christmas eve. One of the security guards stopped by later and gave her a couple of pins to get her going. Evidently the woman next to us saw a woman and two gentleman walk by and grab it and then headed off by the comfort station heading towards the bonfire area. I let them know that random Fiends may stop by and have pins for them.
  19. The little girls camper is across from mine and they have a Sponge Bob pineapple inflatable. I'm at 1434.
  20. The lady who saw it happen identified the lady who took it, she is 2 or 3 campers down from me. I would assume she denied doing it so it becomes a he said she said. It's a shame really.
  21. Evidently the camper next to us witnessed a lady next to them take a little girls pin lanyard from the camp site across from us and needless to say security is now here. A little girls pin lanyard, is nothing sacred anymore?
  22. The issue is the post is set in irregular stone so the height measurements will be different depending on where or which side of the line they are measured. I demonstrated to the manager that on one side it is no, on the other side he measures fine. It was the managers refusal to acknowledge that there is an issue. I know what my son measures and he is good he fully meets the design of the ride. It is not a question of safety it is an inconsistent and inaccurate method they are using on EE. I have never been one to stuff socks in the kids shoes etc. So dont think or bring safety into it. H
  23. I have seen several instances lately of Cm's and managers using the avoidance method. It's almost as if they are hoping you just get frustrated and walk away.
  24. Based on a Starret scale on a floor he measures 44.250. I am going to different area and see how he measures up elsewhere. At least he was able to ride it once. The managers cut and run attitude was very disturbing to me.
