Here we go, it's October, time to get those modules and home layouts freshened up and ready. November is coming and that is the official month of model railroading! I was hoping that October would quiet down enough for me to work on the layout, however, work has taken over my weekend yet again. Saturday, I'll be working all day at a fellow airplane modelers shop getting a pair of planes ready for a construction article for the magazine. Yeah it could be worse, it's just not railroad related. Sunday if I have time, I would like to work more on my Maywood Station T-Trak module. So how about you? What do you plan on working on this weekend? From track work to painting structures, let us know! we'll come back on Monday the 7th and see how we all did. Until then, have a happy and safe weekend working on trains and... ​High Greens!
Well, I'm hoping to get some rocks made this weekend. I have a tub of drywall joint compound ready to go, but I've heard plaster was a better route. IDK, we'll see. I started cutting out a small hunk of road bed and foam base last weekend to make a span for a small timber bridge. Need to keep carving and start initial construction on the timber head walls. Not likely to get anything accomplished with family coming in from KY and in-laws coming over Sunday.
I'll probably be sidetracked on a siding myself. We're having a nice fall in New England. We can't even call it "Indian Summer" because we haven't had a frost yet. So, we'll be headed up to Maine to visit our daughter Annie, with our bicycles along for the trip. What little time I might have Friday evening and late Sunday will be spent making up a couple more Hydrocal castings, and adding lighting to the boiler house building in the tannery.
