Thank you so much -- but I'm OK for now. I bought an almost new Märklin collector set from the early 80's through an old friend in Germany. That pretty much blew my Christmas "fun" money  -- LOL. I have a few odd pieces of pre-war Märklin tin-plate "O" gauge in my display cabinet, but that stuff is getting silly crazy expensive.

Welcome back George. On those pipe stands holding up the big motor, what wall thickness pipe do you use and how thick are the plates? I also noticed that you tack weld the stand plates together if stacking. Nothing in that pic is small. Keep the pics coming as I have missed them.

Stands are 8" solid stock with 1" plate. I tack them so they don't knock out of place when i set the pump assemblies down.
