    Hey look at this! The last weekend of January. As you know, I don't like winter here in the Midwest, so each day that passes, gets us one day closer to spring! It also means we need to get our railroad tasks done now before the outdoor "Honey Do" list gets long!

    Saturday: Nothing planned on this day as I have an RC Car sell and swap meet all day. I've essentially traded the RC cars for Slot Cars as my interest is more into scale auto racing, not simply bashing about and breaking things. I'll keep the Tamiya kits and Jeeps but the rest is hopefully making a one way trip to help clean out the garage and fund more wood for the modules.

    Sunday: I'm planning on finishing up the other half of phase one of the slot car table and while that is being constructed, the two new modules will be clamped and drying. I need more clamps! I also hope to start the reorganization of the upstairs and get the space ready for the new modules as they will be wall mounted this time.

    So how about you? What is on the "To Do" list for this weekend? Let us know. We'll assemble again on Monday the 29th to see how we all did. Until then, have a great weekend, stay safe and as always...

    High Greens!

    Saturday: We have a celebration of life to attend (Our neighbor passed way). Then we are going to a friends wedding vow renewal ceremony. So, modeling will be minimal.
    Sunday: I hope to finish decoder installation into some of my brass fleet. And, perhaps I will get back to my F7 project.

    Hope Y'all have a great weekend,
    Wolf

    Same as last week. Working towards completing two Nn3 switches.
    I did get some time to work on them today. I have the rail for one cut and shaped. On the other I have the frog and guard rails cut and shaped.
    On the few switches I built before, I soldered each piece imediatley after forming each piece.
    Now I'm trying to come up with a process for making all the pieces first then building the switches in a sort of kit form going forward.
