    Welcome back everyone to what is the gateway to the weekend. Let's see what is on everyone's list for the upcoming weekend.

    Saturday: I'll be shoveling out the dealership from the sounds of it! Snow predicted before the commute home tonight. I remember snow days in New Hampshire being a lot more fun, sigh... After that, I would love to rest and work on the layout but I usually just rest on the sofa after a day at the dealership.

    Sunday: More bad weather is predicted. I would love to work on the B&M layout but the three month project of removing clutter and all things RC continues.

    So how about you? What do you have planned for the weekend? Let us know. We'll assemble again on Monday the 20th to see how we all did. Until then, have a great weekend, stay safe and above all...

    High Greens!

    Still taking a break from my SP F3/F7 project.

    I have been commissioned (By a friend) to paint a couple of Kato E8's and a BLI SW7 into DL&W colors. So. I will start on those.
    I want to get up into my train room and get some much needed work done on my layout.

    Report on Monday

    Y'all have a great weekend!!

    Saturday - Hoping to get an hour or so on the layout early. Goal is to clean up the excess ground cover from last weekends work.Then my sone has band practice so I'll be on Uber duty and after that we are heading over to the other side of town to visit some of my wife's friends.

    Sunday - Should be able to send the entire afternoon on the layout. Plan on putting some sidewalks and ground cover around the church scene and maybe some more work around the highway bridge. If time alows, may also wire up a few more lights.

    Wish you all a great weekend!

    i need to glue the second sheet of plywood door skin to the top of my other workbench module, then procure foam and glue that to each of them. If that all pans out then they might get stuck to the wall studs this weekend too.

    I just started building my first T-Trak-Z End Module yesterday, having drawn it up, then laser cut the parts, and glued together. It is assembled by just glue and 2" wide masking tape:

    I received the last bridge needed for the Frisco Arkansas River Bridge between Ft Smith and Van Buren AR on my Boston Mountains Sub Division layout. Will be putting it together over the weekend and will post photos on my build thread.

    Just a quick question to all of you:
    Am I the only one modelling the Western Maryland Railroad in Z-scale?
