    Well the weekend is back on us once again. Time to get those project sheets out and see what we can get accomplished!

    With Friday's being my day to work for my small custom shop, my plans are to finish up these three 2-rail O PS-1 boxcars.
    All the decals are applied so the protective clear coat will be applied next along with painting of the frame and re-assembly before starting the Hi-Cube 60 foot cars I painted last Saturday. After these six cars, I still have two more cars that need paint and decals. It's a marathon, but I want to have these done so I have time to build up my inventory for the Ohio N Scale Weekend in May.

    I may also switch my "day off" some by working on my modules today. My fiance is home so that may induce just a few interruptions I don't normally get on Fridays, plus I'm so far behind for a show that is just weeks away. Saturday, I'm making a short trip to southern Indiana to pick up a set of nice factory alloy wheels that were standard for my Cherokee in 1998. I've been searching for a set for a while and Craigslist came through in connecting with a fellow Jeeper. Once I get these wheels, I can get them wrapped in a suitable size tire and give Jess, my Wrangler, back here bigger all terrain tires and start using her as my railfan companion again. With all that said, I'm not sure how much I'll get done in the shop tomorrow, but I have goals!

    Sunday will no doubt be a combination of getting custom paint done as well as working on the modules. It would be nice to post pictures of my modules with roads! We'll see.

    So how about you? What do you have planned this weekend? More cleaning? Track work? Scenery? Let us know. We'll all come back here on Monday the 14th to see how we all did. Don't forget, we set our station clocks ahead one hour or what I call normal time! Woo hoo! More light at night in the workshop! Have a great weekend, stay safe and...

    High Greens!

    Benchwork relocation took a back seat this week to visiting friends from out of town, and a wife down with the flu. She's mending, thye leave Sunday, so hopefully I can get that done and get the initial storage shelves in so I can finish the basement rearrange.

    I am going to try and work on adding some streets to my layout. The first part of landscaping. And - perhaps do a little work on my bulk oil dealer.

    That's about it,

    I may work on something this weekend, but I have to attend a work meeting Sunday for three hours. On top of that, it's an hour away. At least we get lunch. :LOL:

    I have a spare set of Icons with 235s mounted I would've negotiated a TB member's price on, lol.

    Scalefest in Altoona tomorrow morning with my dad and uncle.
