Title: Monday - February 22, 2021
Post by: ReadingBob on February 22, 2021, 07:01:22 AM
Morning all,

Back to work.  I didn't get as much done on the build yesterday as I would have liked but I did start cutting out parts to build a 'core' for the building that will hold the lighting circuits.   8)

Here's an old picture from the Enola yard I took a long, long time ago.   ::)

Have a great one!

Morning, all.


I didn't get much done on the build yesterday, either.  But I got the taxes done and pushed three inches of heavy white stuff off the driveway and walks.  Back to work today.

19 deg C here today , in one week we went from -15C to +19C , from skating to swimming, but the winter is not over yet.

Working on my staging yard , bought a turntable for it even though it's not going to be a scenicked yard , just don't want to have to handle engines to turn them around.

Good morning! More snow to plow this morning. It's still coming down so I will wait until it quits before heading out.  We have a lot of snow on the ground - well over my knees in the woods. I took a short walk and decided snow shoes were required to go very far.  The coffee is ready so it's time to head to the layout room. I hope everyone has a great day.

Could not sleep last night, one of those days I guess. Yesterday I did finish my version of the Campbell kit The Band Stand. With some parts missing I used a printer/ cutter to fill in needed parts.

Good morning, all,

Back to the working week.  Yesterday I got some time to work on the inlet area of my layout.  It's coming along and I'll post some pics soon.
Jim, that is a mighty fine looking bandstand.

Take care, everyone.

Good morning.


Snowing here again this morning.  Like John, I'll wait until later to plow. 


Jim, nice job on the bandstand.  It will really help capture he era once you have it on your layout.


That's about it from here.  Everyone stay safe!

Conrail still exists as a legal entity, mostly it owns real estate and trackage.  (Turns out a college classmate of mine is CEO.)

Fasting blood test, followed by McBreakfast :-)  After a trip to the post office, back to the train room for some more orogeny.

I don't recall exactly when I took it but my best guess would be late 70's/early 80's so it's about 40 years old give or take a few.  :P

Mornin' all....

I've been getting in a lot of late night bench time.  The phone doesn't ring and it's just quiet.

I have been spending a lot of time working at the regional stuff of the PNR of the NMRA.  I have been VP for several years and we are trying to keep modelers engaged at the region and division levels.  Mostly zoom stuff and Achievement Program activities.  We in the west call it Aggressive Pursuit.  We have invented a distance evaluation process that is working really well.

I am also on the PNR convention committee this year as the 3rd Division is hosting it here in southern Idaho.  We are doing it virtually so there are a lot of new bases to be tagged.

But I'm getting my bench time in.

see ya
Bob
