My God you people actually buy petrol with a sub 90 Octane rating?

You should all be arrested for cruelty to motor vehicles.

The prices are the average price in the US for July    1996.

The printer is a HP CP1025nw. I picked it up at staples for $160 after instant and mail in rebates. It prints at 600dpi..plenty for n scale.

We have it available, but not everyone buys it.

I presume your context is European octane? They (you?) use the numerically-higher "research" octane standard, the US uses "R+M/2", or the average of "research" and "motor" octane computations. So Euro octane is labeled 3 points higher for the exact same petrol forumulation.

87 octane R+M/2 is the default US "regular", with adjustments for altitude in mountainous states. Motoring about Colorado, pull up to a pump labeled "85" in the family flivver if you want to talk about octane-rating shock... but it's the same to the engine as 88 (your 91) at sea level.

Some out look on lessons learned from the first two train shows.

[DKS]

Ian, can you please provide some details on the Concord show in September? That just might work into my schedule nicely.

Dave here it is:

Its an OK show. Its in an ice arena and there are about 3-4 layouts. Mostly dealers.

If you can work your schedule around Nov. The Bedford Boomers show in Bedford is NH's largest show. Its a layout show only, no dealers, and has about 15-20 layouts.

They might have bumped it back. They have had it in Sept the last few years. Last year was Sept 11. I had not the chance to look at the site for the 2012 date. Cest la vie
