Beach Bum
Good evening. 28° and partly cloudy. Today's high was 37°, which was a big improvement over the past few days.
Spent some time down in the train room this evening. Removed all non DCC locos from the tracks. I plan on assembly lining them through decoder installation later this week. I decluttered the layout by removing freight cars that would not normally operate along the prototype, including TTX trailer cars. Now, there will be more room to operate. I need to focus on one module at a time, instead of hopping around. I also need to remind myself that it's a small layout that can be choked if there are too many cars on the layout.
I accompanied the wife to ShopRite, where we picked up bread, milk and a few other essentials. We also picked up New Year's dinner. We should not have to go anywhere the balance of the week, unless we want to.
Received a delayed gift from second son today, a cool T shirt, depicting the Bell AH-1Z Viper Attack Helicopters used by the Marines.
As promised, I also have a new photo to share.
PC 4801 which received its Penn Central paint in 1971, was unique in that it retained the 5 stripe scheme from inception through 1971, never having been painted in the PRR Single stripe scheme. Photo courtesy of Steven G, location and photographer unknown.

time).
. if you start with the white glue method they aren’t so bad, but I had to trash most of the curled ones and reattach three placards that came loose. Doing things over unnecessarily kinda gets my goat. The white glue info was in their decal catalog.
