Sunday Where's the sun?

[Orionvp17]

Mornin' All!

It's Sunday!  But where's the sun?  The WGFA are arriving in quantity here in the northern mitten, it's 31 and feels like 21, and the radar pix look like the WGFA are serious about this!  So much for Springtime!  The grill has brats, we have fresh hot (!) Luftwaffles, and the silver bullet is READY with Switch Tender blend.  Usual soft drinks are on the counter, and we have hot water for tea, hot chocolate and so on.  Rumors include some hot soup for brunch later on.

What's on your agenda today?  Looks like a good day to head downstairs and work on the railroad here....

Make it a great day, ALL, and stay safe!

 Morning all.

Headed to 47 here today.  I need to go to the grocery store and pick up lunch somewhere this morning.  Otherwise, a lazy Sunday here.

Morning all,

Where's the sun?  It's not here for sure. Severe weather expected later this afternoon. Must me a great day to stay in the train shed.

Have a great day ya'll.

Foggy here, but starting to burn off.  52 on the way to 66.  When it's warmer, I'll climb back on the ladder and finish hiding the cable I ran yesterday.  Yesterday's Scotch club veered into Irish whiskeys in preparation for tomorrow.

It's been a fascinating walk down memory lane as James reposts his build thread over here.  Lots to see, I've been down to his layout a couple of times since moving back to NH, including an operating session. 

Northeastern Scale Lumber sent me a birthday present, they enlarged the clerestory window opening on a piece of roof to match the old Ambroid car length.  I'll open that after I finish outside.

Afternoon all,

Still coughing and hacking but managing to get lots of workbench time in the past few days. More of the same today. 

Have a great one!

Well, I'm down off the ladder and it's put away.  Any time you can put away the ladder, it means you didn't kill yourself.  After checking the intertubes (using the now hidden ethernet cable running from the home office to the basement), I'll go down to the train room and open my present from NESL.

Good evening, all.  A thin overcast kept the sun off us while we inspected Seashore Trolley Museum's Main Line.  Very much Mud Season; snow was over the railhead at the highest, shadiest point, everywhere else the track and roadbed were bare.  We found one broken track bolt, but unusually we were able to replace it.  We don't have enough rail anchors installed, so one or two bolts may break when our rail shrinks during a winter cold snap.  Usually we find them in March or April but can't fix them till the rail expands in May or June (freight RRs either heat the rail with a "fire snake" rope saturated with oil, or stretch the rail with a powerful hydraulic puller). But today was warm enough I went back to the Track House for bolts and placed them with only a modest hammer blow.

Looking over the Forum now, one newsletter in my email to proofread and a phone call to return, so likely no modeling tonight. But rainy Monday should give me some layout time.

Hello to all, I found the sun, it's here in the desert. Although we did get some much needed rain this week. It doesn't happen very often, so we really appreciate it when it does happen.

Just a side note, I've noticed a definite uptick in the number of build threads on rolling stock since the influx of new members from the other forum. I'm enjoying all of them, some nice work being done out there. Thanks to all who are contributing.
