It only helps find these - you still have to get rid of them.

Yes - some deserved it and some our Government destroyed.

Today, I got the workbench back in operation after the yard build project.  I started distressing and staining the wood for the Jacob's build.

[S&S RR]

I have been working on wiring and making a few pine trees the last couple of days. The workbench yard is complete and tested. And now I'm working on a few repairs in the Eagles Nest Yard.  Next up will be the track changes for Brambell's and Walter P's.  The plan for this summer is to complete the helixes and the upper level track.  I have a lot of benchwork to do inside the mountains to install the two internal helixes - it's going to be hard on the back so I will be doing it in a couple hours at a time. I will have a structure build going at all times so I have something to work on that is easier on the back. I also plan on completing the scenery for Mt. Aiden as soon as I get the track work changes completed in the area. So that's the plan for this summer - I will post pictures as I complete the work.

John,

When Tom has a short on his layout he starts the debug process the last place his saw Greg DeMayo standing.  But Greg wasn't at your place so we can rule that out.

Are we sure that Greg wasn't there ?

Yea, what they said. Now that Greg isn't allowed to wear his watch while visiting the A&S RR, there have been no shorts. Well, except for the ones he wears. Cover your eye's Myrtle, it ain't for you to see.

Thanks for stopping by the thread. On the S&S RR we have Wayne Olson and that's where I usually look for the short.  Funny story - Wayne has a cardboard box for his tools (actually my tools but his for working on the layout) and he is always looking for one of them. He is always accusing me of taking one of them out of his box so he started putting red tape on them.  I moved a bunch of stuff from under the yard area last week and I now have 12 files with red tape on them to show Wayne when he comes over on Saturday.  Also, found some track cutters, and a few other misc. tools. - I can put off that order to Micro Mart for a little while.  We have a lot fun with each other loosing stuff. I wonder how many pairs of glasses I have in the layout room?

Poor Greg - seems to get blamed for everything. 

[S&S RR]

Wow,  Greg and you call these guys friends.  Like I said above if it gets to hot for you down their come on up North and visit the S&S RR.  Thanks for stopping by the thread and for the kind words.

I completed some more work on the Eagle's Next Warehouse - added some weathering and a new color to the building that was dark brown.  Also added some moldings to cover the joints between the castings.  I plan on lots of roof details, including a water tower, as time goes on.
Here is a progress picture.

[S&S RR]

In addition to the warehouse Wayne Olson and I made some significant progress with track work today. I also, once again, got to experience the wonderful feeling when I'm under the layout and the power goes off. We have a backup generator so I only have to wait 20 seconds but it is really dark under there. We loose power around here a lot - so it sure is nice to be able to generate my own power when I need to. In the days before the generator,  I remember a number of times feeling my way in the dark to find my way out.  Every time it would happened I would find a new place to put the flashlight where I could find it next time.

Might be worth getting a couple of those Harbor Freight 'daylight powered' battery floodlights and putting them at appropriate places around the layout room.
