Good morning.  Coffee's ready and we have egg on an English muffin to go with the caffeine fix.

I continued to work on the scenery in one corner of my layout, roughing in land forms with some Sculptamold.  Planning on more of the same today.  The weather radar shows a line of storms less than 50 miles away.  Looks like a wet one for most of the day, thus a perfect day to work on the layout.

I hope everyone has an awesome day!

Morning all.

Saw the Big Boy yesterday, impressive under steam.  

I'm getting ready to head to work this morning.

Morning all,

I can imagine the Big Boy under steam is really impressive! 

Back to work on the mobile home build later today.  The four wall panels are together and it's time to add the interior graphics, windows, doors, etc.


Here's a little boy, under steam....



Have a great one!

Mornin' all,

This morning my dad and I installed the cat door I had bought before the house was complete in the laundry room door. This was done in order to keep my new puppy out of the laundry room where the cat box lives.  In the last week Otis has decided the cat box is a wonderful pantry stocked with poopsicles.   

Apparently Otis is designed specifically to penetrate this sort of barrier because it took him about 1.3 seconds to figure out he could squeeze right thru the cat door.

The "puppy door" made me laugh out loud.  One thing you could try:  Sit in the litterbox room with a squirt bottle, and squirt him whenever his face shows up in the door.  That shouldn't take too long to train him "poopsicles aren't worth it."

More work on the trestle bridge today.  I need to remeasure and verify the bent height, then cut, stain and build a couple full height bents.  And I need to come up with the design for the wood truss over the road, I did some research and conceptualizing on that last night.  Turns out the bents holding the truss will have to be wider at the top than the track bents, and that -probably means- wider at the bottom, if I preserve the same proportions ("batter") for the bent.

But first I'll have to do some pick-up/put away.  The work spaces have gotten out of control AGAIN with stuff I pulled for the project.
