splicer your train sounds cool.thr\ere is a real one running from nashville to jacksonville three trains one caboose three flatbeds full of fiber reels layin on side of the tracks they need fiber splicers.last night there was a wreck on 85 north between montgomery and auburn guess who was on the bus in front of me haing a meeting at&t i bet yall would have liked to have seen them huh? unions suck bad .how about traveling 1000 miles to sit down for 2 weeks then find out you have to train a bunch of slow dumb ass electricians to do your job because you cant touch anything.they dont care about our families just there own.they havent even seen a piece of hardline much less an amp.16 locations took them 30 days to complete it was mdus inside a parking garage they had to do everything but still 30 days .we could have done it in what 3 days.do you want a union now? i dont think so we will all be out.leave them in chicago.look at the south there is no strongunion there i wonder why? a bunch of lazy people trying to get there hours and not do any work.all those pieces being hung. i hung 50 taps a day every day all terminators climbing to until i got my bucket.could do more but why make over 620 aday? me and my friend was the only one doing it for the last 8 months the job was going on in the country.it was called IFITL bellsouth broadband. my friend was doing 20 lls 112 3 way splitters.i was the aerial man.3 oclock we was gone.only 20 locations. it was rg11 fed. underground we would do a 120 locations 60 a piece.all 8 ports 11 being fed by a piece of rg6 from the module. the best cable system around.fiber was at every location.i think was a test project. good luck to all you cable dawgs

Splicer I'm glad you have such a good hobby I think that's what all of us need to keep us sane personally I'd rather head to the wood's with a weapon and take my frustration's out on some tiny little innocent animal. Like the one's I have right now recently I was employed with a company in the Boston area, I busted my a$$ for them for 2 years then got the ax because this company who doesn't know anything about cable was bought out by a power company who really doesn't know anything about cable but just wants to make a quick buck in the Broadband industry. Oh well Se Lavee. No great loss. I really didn't want to tarnish my reputation much longer by working for them. Guess I'll move on to my next endeavor. I'm going to put about 15 super splicer's together and take over the Retro world and put tiny little inferior company's that don't know anything about cable out of business. Cable is a hard job and to have little piss ants cut in on those of us that do know what we're doing must stop. Maybe someday you can give me a ride on that train of yours Splicer after I succeed in making the Cable world only big enough for those of us that have earned stripes and payed our dues.

thanks for the support everybody! i figure maybe whitfield is'nt so crazy with his dream after all. it'll never happen for real, so why not make it come true for real thru a 'fantasy world' if you will. CableLand Railways, believe it or not, is for everyone out there doing cable, besides myself. CableLand will be the perfect harmonious retro/new build/maintenance contract between the workers (who basically are the residents as well)'us' and the system 'them' become 'we'. as in understanding each others goals and working togeather to get them accomplished. the CableLand system understands it could not be in the position they are in without the help of the workers. and if the workers wer'nt working then the system would have no reason for being there because being that the workers make up the town, without jobs there is no money and so on...y'all see where this is going. anyway this is my way of dealing with whats happening which sucks and which tells you i got way toooooooo much time on my hands right now! CableLand Railway still needs operating capital! will splice for money!!!

All this talk about hobbies and the good things in life. Cable people are mostly good people. It's all about making good with the things in your life. Your work, providing for the family, and other people. Simple things, but things I think pass some people by. Not most cable people though. I for one am thankful for the living it provides, and the people involved. I can't imagine me without it.

thanks for the offer dan. do you happen to know the scale of those signs? to a degree i can use anything from 1:20.3 all the way down to 1:32 scale. 1:25 to 1:32 is the range i would like to keep within, but i am trying to keep it all as close to 1:29 as i can. if it all works out, your signs and name will be in/on the layout. how much would you charge me?

Hey SL4M.You should have at least 1 T-40 stuck to it's frame beside the tracks
with a couple of little dudes trying to crank it out with strand and a chance hoist.
Maybe a little directional boring machine.(Vermeer though,Ditch Witches are junk).Maybe a tech on a ladder scratching his head,with all
his tools stuffed in his shirt pocket.Park a bucket van behind a bar.Have One-Call out locating the wrong span.
Of course you'll need a power co. digger/derrick with 3 guys asleep in it.A little old lady cruising down a street with a cone
stuck under her bumper.Some pitt bulls and yards full of wet dog shit.A cable yard with 4 guys huddled in the back behind the fiber reels.A dude loading rolls of copper into his car.
Plenty of yard sale signs nailed into poles.An installer with an aluminum ladder, tennis shoes,shorts and no hard hat.I mean,if your gonna make it look real.
