    Morning folks, currently 24 and sunny, I think it'll get just above freezing today. Roads are still icy, bossman called and said stay home and we'll try again around noon. I did have to make a quick trek outside to free a little bird who got stuck inside one of the feeders.

    Evening folks, its currently 21 and breezy. Had a good bit of sleet fall last night which ended up freezing, making everything slick and crunchy today. Only went outside twice today, once just to check things out and the other to make a drive across the pasture to the firewood pile. Just a lazy...

    Evening folks, its currently 29. Still wet and misty. Got some of the track down and tested it out by running some locos back and forth. I couldn't put my finger on why something looked off and why the measurements didn't add up, until I discovered the switches on XTrackCad had a different...

    Morning folks, currently 59 and very misty, about 1/8 mile visibility heading to work. Not sure how this weekend will turn out, but we got food and plenty of firewood just in case.

    Afternoon folks, its currently 66, cloudy and occasionally rainy. The county I'm in has been put into a Winter Storm Watch for this upcoming weekend, some are saying 19 degrees while others are saying 12. Hopefully it won't be anything like the "blizzard" of 2021.

    While we're on the subject of train accidents.. Back in 2023, a locomotive caught fire on a train that was passing through town. Rather impressively too. This morning, almost in the exact same spot, was another loco fire...

    Morning folks, its currently 38 with the sunny trying to make its appearance. Slow start to the morning for us too at work. Yesterday was nice once it warmed up.

    Got the hood and sill filled in with styrene. I have a tube of that Testors contour putty to cover the seams and imperfections, never used the stuff before so we'll see how it goes. The circle on top is where I'll cut a hole for a fan, I'll add some grilles on the sides beneath it. I...

    Evening folks, currently 41 and windy, been windy all day pretty much. There's a claim we will have a little sprinkling of snow tonight. Doubt it.
