No saw dust, but if I remember correctly they did have a pickle jar, but no barrel.

Looks like the thunderstorms came through while I was napping. Wasn't much to it. So little rainfall that I had to look up the Weather Underground station around the corner to see that it got .07". I can barely measure tenths of an inch with my gauge. It's wet enough that I will have to spend the afternoon either in the train shed or in the house with the honey-do list. More could be on the way, although there is nothing on the radar. But that's the way these Spring storms sometimes are, just pop up out of nowhere.

Good Afternoon,
Cleaned the bird room today then after lunch I put A&I on everything (wooden) in the new kit and have it under weight to try to keep everything straight. I also painted the few detail parts that came with the kit. I plan on using thinned Tamiya Flat White on the walls because I think that shows age and dirt most. I still haven't decided on trim color yet.
Chet- Interesting photo.
Sherrel- Nice picture.
Louis- Nice pictures.
Garry- Nice looking road crossings.
Tom- Nice job on the trailer.
Joe- Nice picture. Yes I've looked at them several times and most likely will get a couple of them.
James- Nice looking keepsakes.
Toot- Ouch!
Willie- Nice continuing work on the building.
Guy- Nice picture.
I hope everyone has a good night.

I have to go in early May according to my summons. IF we are out of quarantine by then. I'll let you know how it goes.

Do they have social distancing jury boxes now?
60 daze.
We'll see if the world has ended by then. I had jury duty exactly two years ago, and that is the minimum time between summonses.

Chet: No, I was sort of filling in while Louis was on his sabbatical.
Louis selects photos of broader interest, where my selections are narrow in focus.For instance, his is a PRR Westbound on #4 track at Morrisville back in the early '60s. The slide was dated 1958, but a closer examination of the photo indicates it was early to mid '60s.
Oh goodie! Send me it's address. I need some more of their rosin flux. My 70 year old tube is going off.
Dragged the airbrush back out today. Two projects going on. 1941 COSF cars being painted and this: A PFM United Santa Fe 2-8-0. I gifted this one to my son. I have about a half a dozen of them, and they're great for teaching newbies about brass. Probably the most common of all of the brass imports with more than 6,000 brought in over the years. It's a simple mechanism, easy to take apart and re-assemble. Also good for upgrading the details, as many of them are turnings instead of castings, and easy to replace. It's been through the blasting booth, the ultrasonic and the paint booth, and has gotten a coat of Scalecoat Detail Black, and 90 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees. Scalecoat levels nicely when you bake it. No clear coat before decaling will be necessary. One issue when you bake these older models. Sometimes the drivers and tender wheelsets come apart. Note that loose driver tire. All four of them came loose. Nothing a little ACC and your handy NMRA gauge won't fix. I need to clean the wheels and frame where the bearings seat for electrical conductivity and she'll be ready to go back together.
