Morning all,

Sunny and up to 63 F later today.  Still too cool for me to hang the backdrop, maybe tomorrow. 

I did get the turnout fixed.  Took the point rail from a non DCC "donor" turnout, and used a PC board tie.  Not my neatest work, but leaning over to the back of the layout wasn't easy, and it works.  I need to remember that access under the layout needs more consideration.  I had to cut out some styrofoam to get access to the Tortoise motor to change the wire throw.  Overall, and irritating couple of hours.

Congrats on the repair.  A pain, but I'm sure you have a sense of accomplishment.  

Somewhat dreary here.  I'm still recovering from the interruption to last week's plans by my wife's visit to the hospital.  We're getting back to normal, she can start eating regular food (but low fiber) today.

Good Evening;

Late check in for me. We did get some rain today and could use a lot more. I did some detailing of the bridge scene, painting people, bottles, tables and such. Paul's Pub will have a complete interior, first floor for drinking, second for companionship and third, well it is for sleeping of course!

Nothing major as we head out on a cruise tomorrow. Have a great night.

Evening all,

Paul's Pub looks great, Jim!

Got some workbench time in today. Tomorrow I should be able to wrap up the Moonshiners Shed build and move on to something new.  

Have a great one!
