Good Morning Everyone....Slightly overcast and cool here in this part of Wisconsin. Slept in late this morning and it was great.
Finished my portable programming track yesterday and did a few projects on the layout. I'll take a photo of the completed board. Found a home for one of the Woodland Scenics canoes and its travelers, but first had to clean the dust of the "water". I used a small sponge brush with a cloth glued to the sponge and used window cleaner on the cloth. Did a fairly good job of cleaning the surface.
Continued to break in my "new" locomotive. Today, I'll run another one from its box and do the break in process.
Willie: Eleven passing sidings....Wow. You're fortunate to have the space in your train shed. Here in Wisconsin, with half of our houses under-ground, our finished bar/Packer room was constructed before the current layout. Cathy did volunteer to let me use some of the space for the layout when I started, but I didn't want to move a finished wall.
Chet: Nice photos as always. Nice and sharp with no dust!
Sherrel: We used to attend several hockey games and never did figure out the rules. Our seats were next to the penalty box and one night a player actually pulled out a tooth after he was hit in the face with stick.
The Packers in Wisconsin are an Institution. We've been on the season ticket list for over 20 years and we're #14,223 in line for tickets. I watch the Green Bay stations from my cabin.
Here's a picture of a "classic" cart that is popular at the local campgrounds. No Corvette! This is a "Red Neck" Custom.
I like the brush guard on the front of the cart. Parts of Wisconsin want to make these and ATV's street legal to operate on secondary roads. One I seen around was a '57 Chevy. During the winter, snowmobiles are all over the place and the towns actually have snow mobile routes to stores and gas stations. The snow mobilers in winter keep some taverns in the black and would over wise be closed during the winter.
No real plans for today in the train room. Some cleanup and small projects on my list. Back to the junk yard and I need to reattach a small exterior light fixture to my pool hall. Not sure how or what to use to hold it in place. Need to master using AC on a small applicator.
That's all for now.
Greg
