Digging the Two Percent Tunnel...

Do not forget to put up the trolley wire.

Indeed!  That comes much later.  Long term plans include putting a layer of Homasote on top, repainting and rescenicking, wiring up the accessories so that they'll activate when the kids push buttons and so forth...

I had that happen while on a vacation in Colorado one time!

Now, I will never be able to go through the Moffat without thinking "Lessfat."  Very funny.

Can't take credit for the original scenicking; that was done by Bob Bretch of Van Buren...

I have seen Moffat in print for years.  I have pronounced it in my mind with a short 'O' and an 'A' that sounds more like a short 'E' in my Western Pennsylvanian accent.  Because of that, I didn't get Mitch's joke, until you commented, Joe!  Then it hit me!  I think I will always think of Mitch's 'Lessfat' from now on!

Hee!  I pronounce it 'Maw-FYTT", myself.   The punnery was strictly because of the spelling, and because "Loffat" would have been TOO subtle...

Yes Mitch, that is how I would pronounce it like it!  Okay I was just slow on the spelling pun!
