Kit Building / Re: SW Blue Sky Company Wareho...
Last post by PRR Modeler - February 17, 2026, 11:43:54 AMGood Morning All,
Thanks Terry, Mark, Rick, Larry, Jerry, Mark (IL), Ron, and Rich for following along and your kind comments.
Mark of course you're correct and will be something I pay attention to in the future.
Rich thanks for the info.
Here are the photos of the Blue Sky walls I have been working on. Note on the 3rd and 4th photos that the front void will have another structure built on the front and the door positioning will be on a freight dock.

Baggage Car - Daily Chat / Re: Fat Tuesday
Last post by cuse - February 17, 2026, 11:31:03 AMMorning All...got a few hours set aside for trains today but it sure is nice outside.
I'm doing inventory of unbuilt kits I'd like to unload today, which I'll share with the locals first and then on here if anyone's interested. I'm getting that spring cleaning vibe...it's very liberating to 'shed' things that you just know you'll never use (and convert them into cash for new stuff I'll never use
)

Baggage Car - Daily Chat / Re: Fat Tuesday
Last post by jbvb - February 17, 2026, 11:28:40 AMGood morning, Karl, Dave and those who look in later. My phone thinks the lower Merrimack Valley will get 0.17" of snow through lunch and that's it. We'll see. My proofreading is done, now a bit of writing (about 1:1 RR track) before lunch. The reality of commercially plastic parts has collided with the actual bridge I'm working on, and I'm working out what will be a weird solution if I have confidence in it.

Baggage Car - Daily Chat / Re: Fat Tuesday
Last post by deemery - February 17, 2026, 10:53:05 AMCloudy weather, a bit above freezing, chance of light snow or rain. We're off to a lecture on back surgery in a bit.
When I get back, I'll add the corner posts to the farmhouse, and make a decision about its orientation on the layout. Get your votes in! https://modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=7391.90

The O-Narrow Line / Re: Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - ...
Last post by Larry C - February 17, 2026, 10:49:54 AMGood Morning,
Sounds like everyone is having a productive day so enjoy.
It's official folks, the Laundry room is FINISHED. It was sorta like trying to paint a big closet only around vents and faucets but it's done.
It's a cloudy 40 with misty rain and really foggy; I guess it's the warm air and the cold snow. High is going to be 42 so They say. Not sure about the rest of the day so we'll just have to wait and see.
Have a great day!! Be well.

Baggage Car - Daily Chat / Fat Tuesday
Last post by KentuckySouthern - February 17, 2026, 10:45:49 AMGood late morning from mostly sunny mid Michigan. We have warmer temperatures than average this week and the loss of snow is significant.
Paczki day at the. Bakery. Before they were commercialized this was the only day that they were made, in honor of Fat Tuesday and tomorrow's beginning of lent. Too much money to be made to keep the tradition alive
OPS went well at Kenney's I ran a couple of switching locals and enjoyed everyone there as the day went on.
I noticed a special visitor at the passenger station. You never know what you might see when the layout owner has grand kids
I think I could get a little more done on the layout if I shuffle the cards right.
So what's up where you're hiding this morning
