Wow, you still can't make sense of a very simple sentence. Try these
examples:

"I'm better at basketball than you are at football."
"I'm a better doctor than you are a lawyer."

Both make perfect sense if English is your first language.

Twibil first refered to "it", that being the subject she was responding to,
and then added a new subject at the end of her sentence.
I understand English very well, but it would appear that you are (on
this occassion at least) incapable of comprehending basic written English.

Eh. I've not been here long enough pass judgement on what Ray has -or
hasn't- posted in the past, but he seems singularly bent on trying to
build up his own ego by putting other folks down, and he doesn't
bother letting truth stand in his way, either.

Now me, I've never claimed to be the pink fairy of sweetness, but
telling obvious -and repeated- lies would seem to be counter-
productive for someone who wants people to respect him...

Good advise from the one single soul on RMR who's managed to make enemies of a coalition of posters who would normally have nothing in common save a love of model railroading and an abiding dislike for him. So when are you going to begin posting some relevant threads, Poopsie?

Dunno where you came up with that. Searching for "pulley", "sheave" and
"block" on that page comes up with zilch. (They show kits that *include*
pulleys, but none separately that I can see.) Can you point us to a link
to pulleys there?

My scratch building supplies have developed a hole in the inventory. Where
can I obtain small sheaves and pulleys in HO gauge? I had several but
recently needed 4 sheaves the same size for a high ball signal and I
couldn't even match any two form the small pile on hand and I've been out of
pulleys for quite awhile. I looked on the web but found nothing useful.
Specifically I need a small sheave about 18" diameter and single block
pulleys but can't seem to find either. I'd appreciate any help you can give
me.
