    I am keenly aware of the feelings that I have, especially those relating to tracking the progress of a shipment of equipment, tools and parts across the country. I can anticipate the delivery today of one package at the office and one at home. I feel like a kid going into a candy store with a quarter in my pocket (I am certainly dating myself).

    Heh. I have all three delivery services bookmarked so I can track all outstanding packages quickly and easily. [​IMG]

    Brett,

    Isn't that taking it a wee bit too far? [​IMG]

    No, I guess not!

    I track packages for my work, both outgoing and incoming. I'll admit to sneaking a look at my hobby purchases--especially when it's something juicy. My UPS guy--always the same one--now knows the difference between business and trains deliveries--and has a big smile for the latter!

    I'm waiting on my first IM tunnel motor, which is a big deal for me. We SP modelers are so lucky to have Kato SD45's and IM SD40T-2's. I remember back in the 90s I used wonder how I was ever going to model a modern SP train without them.

    So yeah, Internet trains had the cotton belt tunnel motors on clearance . .

    FD - very cool on the tunnel motor. I really like mine - like you said, how can you model the SP without them?

    I'm also anticipating an order, from over the pond. Just ordered a couple more spine car sets from our friend and fellow forum-er Alan Curtis. FYI - the 20% off sale is still going on!!!

    How much are the tunnel motors on clearance?

    Well, they let me down. :mad: Should I be surprised? First they took four times what it should be to deliver my payment. Now they can't get my items to me in a timely fashion.
