Lot of N-scale equipment for sale!

Loading PDFs in acrobat vs browser
Hi,
In another thread I had mentioned I had changed the properties PDFs to not load in a browser. I un-checked the "load in browser" option in acrobat reader to do this.

Carpeting the train room
This morning I watched the most recent segment of Cody's Office on the MR amagzuine site. There has been a major carpet renewal at Kalmbach's offices and this morning's segment featured an illustration of how 2 x 2 carpet segments for laid on the floor after it had been sealed by some yellow stuff. I don't know what this product is called nor do I know where to find it but it looks like something that would be perfect for the average train room.
