Morning all,

Happy Patriot's Day to all you New Englanders.  I'll be watching the Red Sox game this morning, though it's painful to watch as they cannot score any runs.  

Just at freezing here now headed to 65 later.  

For the third day in a row I hope to finish the barber shop kit.   ::)

It's climbing thru the 30s now after hard frost overnight.  It's sunny  8)  and expected to be fairly nice all week. 

Plugging away at projects.  Nicer weather = less MRR time.  :-\

Enjoy the day. 

TODAY really is Monday.   :o

Good morning everyone.  Chilly start here in RI but just about sweatshirt temp outside now.  Nothing serious on the modelling front.  I've been spending some of that time learning my new double action airbrush.  It's so much nicer than my old Badger and I think my finish work should improve.

Beautiful morning here in the valley of the turtles.  Had my first outdoor shower today in our little spa as the mornings are warm and the mountain views are spectacular as all the vegetation is popping. You have to be careful showering outdoors here as the chipmunks are all looking for nuts! :-[ 

Working on some new kits and starting some conversions of an Atlas Alco C-425 from British Columbia Railways to Western Branch Lines (my freelance railroad I am just starting).

Have a great day everyone and "Keep on Model'n!"

"Gene" workboat in O Scale that I am just finishing up.

I just saw a notice that (Dr) Wayne Wesolowski has passed away.  His modeling and modeling articles/books were a great influence on me, and in particular his book "Model Railroad Scratchbuilding" is a real treasure.
