Morning all.

Hawkeyes played their best game in years offensively yesterday, let's hope the Patriots can do the same today. 

Looked through all my scenery stuff and only needed some glue, which I ordered on Amazon as Scenic Express' shipping charges were more than the glue was.  Organized it a bit as I had stuff spread all over.   

At the Green Bay Train Museum they had this model of the Aerotrain, and one of the locomotives and a passenger car as well.  Up close it really does look like a city bus on rails.  No wonder it didn't sell.

Chilly and light rain in SE NH, a good day to stay inside.  Some local color from this morning:IMG_0255.jpg

More work on the truss bridge today.  The previous way I was doing the iron tension rods wasn't working, so I painted new parts and will try a different approach.

Good morning.

Jeff, interesting photos, thanks for sharing. 

Rainy start to the day here in upstate NY. The weather radar shows rain blanketing almost the entire upstate area, so it looks like a good day to stay inside. 

I hope everyone has a safe and productive day!

Morning crew,

Sunny, clear and 70 here now.

The Judge and Greg were here yesterday and we did our BS'ing and ran trains.

Hope everyone has a great and very safe day.

A late check but I do hope everyone  gets a chance to read this.  I am working with Rusty to make this years  winter challenge something special. My hope is to get the great modelers of this forum to share their best modeling techniques as they produce models of true distinction. In addition I hope to make it worthwhile for as many other train modelers to join our forum and join the challenge. I expect to roll out the Winter Challenge first week of November. Get with me if you have some ideas for the challenge and tell your modeling friends to join and stay tuned, I guarantee it will be worth it.
