Procrastination....

I haven't posted an update in a while. Frankly I haven't done much work on the railroad either. Back early in January, I had run out of steel. That brought the majority of construction to a halt. In late January, the steel truck arrived with  1400' of steel. That will be enough to build the entire main level and the other peninsula. 

it doesn't look like much, but that's a railroad in that pile!

At the end of January, I was off to India on a business trip. There goes a week. The first weekend of February was the World's Greatest Hobby show in Phoenix. Our modular club signed up to be on display, so that shot another weekend. 

Here are some pix and a couple of videos. We don't do a good job of taking many pix at a show.

In the mean time, I have been remodeling my laundry and utility rooms. So that killed another weekend. Finally, I was going to weld frames on President's Day weekend. Of course, it ended up raining that weekend, so I couldn't weld. I did paint the laundry room and quality control rolling stock. 

In the mean time, I have been hosting ops sessions on the Exeter Branch. Six sessions combined in January and February. The last session being yesterday. I'm shutting the railroad down for March as I'll be changing over the equipment used in order to back date the railroad to 1965-ish. The waybills are printed, now just to get all the equipment gathered and placed on the railroad. I'm backdating as I'll need all of the 80s equipment for the new railroad. 

So, hopefully I'll get some quality welding time the first weekend of March. 

Wish me luck!
