We're back from a weekend where hopefully you got a lot done. So gather around and let us know what you did. Saturday: After Friday's successful dorm room move in for Jared, and the last bits of Service Center parts were packed at work, Angela and I enjoyed a pizza and a movie. Saturday was busy. I started the day by getting all the N and Z scale I wished to sell on three tables down in my garage. A lot of the members of my club showed up and purchased a few items. A few friends hung around sharing stories over a cold beverage before saying their goodbyes. I then went to my "not so local hobby shop" one last time to say goodbye to the owner before spending a nice dinner with Angela at one of my favorite diners in Atlanta IL. Sunday: The Great packing and final go through of N scale I wanted sell took place. Today I'm going to unload the rest as I have delayed my trip by one more day. Later my good friend Steve, known as Zinker here, came down for some brats and beer on last time. So that is it for me. How about you? What did you get done? Let us know. We'll gather around again but this time the station will be along side the B&M, not the Illinois Central as it has been for the past 6 years. It has been fun here in Illinois. For 20 years I have been going to great shows and running N scale with a great group of guys (and gals). The move is bittersweet, but with family here in Illinois, we will be back. So this is the last Weekend Accomplishment thread from this location and with a heavy heart, I will watch the order board go dark. I'll see you in NH Friday. Until then... High Greens, East Bound, Track One, Best Speed!
Both days -- made great progress on the 10-6 Pullmans. The car bodies are assembled. (I need to add the roof details). All of the underbody details are added. (except for the couplers). Took a photo of them -- only to discover that the SD card is/was corrupt!! Damn!! oh well - a couple more SD cards will be delivered today -- thanks Prime!! Hope Y'all had a great weekend, Wolf
Spent considerable time working on my SRMW "Meyers" kit. Mostly getting the major walls of the main building together. Tricky kit. I'm getting there, but the SRM kit seems a little more "tempermental" in getting parts square. I had a much easier time w/ the FSM kits I've done. Over the weekend, I started "staging" and figuring out where I am going to put some of these things on the layout. Nothing permenant...just sizing it up.
