Kiz is correct, there is a valid account for jym1 who appears to have never logged in, and has a .jp email address that appears to be you....
No, the DI 53' trailers have weights in them. The techniques Bob and Carter described worked for me too. I mentioned this to Dave at DI a year...
This. Boxcab was asking of the turntable was scratch-built, and apologizing for the off-topic question. He was not accusing you of being off...
