Morning all.

A chilly 37 degrees here this morning.  I'll need jeans and a jacket to walk the dog.  I'm on dog duty as my wife is out of town for a few days.  

My LEDs came yesterday, I will attempt the DCC install today.  I've never done a steamer install with lighting, so we'll see how this goes.  

Hawkeyes play this afternoon, hopefully better than last week.

Good morning.

Ten degrees warmer here than at Jeff's this morning.  Of course, 25MPH wind gusts here might compensate for that somewhat. 

I've included a photo of my freight car fleet as of now.  They are a mix of plastic, wood, and resin cars.  I don't need this many cars to operate my small layout, but I was weary of running the same six or eight cars every time, so...  still building more cars.

I hope everyone has a safe and rewarding day!

Good morning

There are "Simpsons Clouds" outside with a chill is the air. An Apple Fritter would be nice if there is one?

I am working on a new kit and it is amazing how you forget to actually build them. Maybe I should follow the instructions; Naw, unlikely.

Morning all,

Game night tonight at our friend's house.  Aside from that some grocery shopping and maybe a little workbench time if the mood strikes me. 

Have a great one!

I'm working on the 3D printed PRR GD hopper.  Today's project was brake rigging.

I still have to add the hangers and the connection to the brake staff at the end of the car.

That looks great!  Looking forward to your continued progress.
