Hi Shop Dwellers, it's 26*F clear and calm at my central MD property.
A big

The big news of the day (well...the
other big news, for ME at least) is that the solar company
finally sent its people out to temporarily remove the panels from my roof. This is the company that had been the proverbial "brick wall" preventing my new roof from being installed, their communication was pathetic and I was wondering if and when they would ever send someone out; in fact I was very close to having a lawyer draw up a Demand Letter to get them to reply to my messages. Luckily it never reached that point...
Anyway, the roofing contractor is aiming for late next week to put on the new roof, since the temperatures will supposedly be a bit milder by then.
My F9-to-F7 conversion project has come to a momentary halt because, the Detail Associates F-unit detailing kit has become
unobtainium! Sold-out everywhere, and DA quit making them several years ago. I started a separate thread in hopes that somebody could tell me if the Cal-Scale detail kit was at least somewhat comparable to the DA kit, but I only got one response from somebody who never actually used the kit. So I started a similar thread on this question over on the
MRHmag forum (Joe Fugate's website). We'll see if I get any nibbles over there[?]
Don't know who's the largest, but CSX has nicer looking (color) engines.
Tom - I very much prefer their YN2 gray blue & yellow "hockey stick" scheme. The yellow on the YN3 scheme reminds me too much of un-maintained, soot-covered yellow nosed C&O hood units!
