A couple of my model train buddies had a "limited run" of Texas and Pacific's F-7's made by InterMountain. They came by to test run them on my layout, they were so cool. My congratulations to IM on this run, nice job.

Rich, Look Great, Hope mine run and look as good.

Dwyane,
They were great looking, it was all I could do to keep from buying some myself. As for running, those ran great, I am sure Jan will make sure they run well.

I have been working on the layout the last couple of days. I always had a dark spot in lake station (unless the overhead spot was on. I made track light extension with PVC that extends straight out about 18 to 20 inches. Now lake station lights up whenever the track lights are on.
It doesn't matter much right now, but this summer we will be much more comfortable withoug that spot light on.
Other than that, I made a new handrail for the steps at the dry storage. 2 - Put a little ivy on the dry storage exterior. 3- Made a rear awning for Allied storage. You know, just busy work.
Cheryl is doing really well this weekend, but has chemo again Monday. After this session, they will re-evaluate.
How's the T&P layout coming, I need to check the most recent blog report? I really do like the work so far. I will talk to you later.
Rich
