    Welcome back everyone. I hope your week so far has been good. It's time to gather around and discus what we have planned for the weekend.

    Saturday: Last weekend and into this past week, I got a lot done on the B&M layout. I hope to continue that theme tomorrow, and that starts with a trip to my favorite toy store; Menards. I need to pick up some more hardboard for the ends of the layout as well as a nice 6-foot long, 5-inch wide, pine board to use as my top valance trim. I may also pick up a sheet of plywood for my 2X4 foot HO FreeMo module I'm designing with a fellow friend. If I don't spend too much time at the toy store, I hope to work on the B&M layout as well as the new FreeMo module.

    Sunday: Sleeping in and doing the domestic chores will be top priority. Once that is out of the way, I hope to continue work on the B&M layout and get the shop cleaned up a bit more.

    So how about you? What is on your modeling agenda for the weekend? Let us know. We'll assemble again on Monday the 5th to see how we all did. Until then, have a great weekend, be safe and as always...

    High Greens!

    Not sure. I have some "domestic" assignments as well as some office work to deal with. Neither should take too long so I anticipate..

    • More bridge work
    • Work on C&O brick signal tower
    • Running trains and whatever else I can fit in

    Starting yet another, and hopefully last, layout. "Limestone Canyon" #5 layout of the Pinnacle Creek Mining & Timber Co. I thought I would give up the hobby but modern medicine seems to be working.

    Getting tired of the pink foam look so started painting a base coat for scenery last weekend. Hoping to continue progress on that this weekend. Also need to make some new shelves for a closet so may work on that as well. All that is subject to the wife allowing me some free time.

    This past week I started building three Free-moN modules. I plan to continue work of those. Currently frames are done and I’m working on the legs.

    Due to requirements of work, and being a few people down, I have been working Wednesday through Saturday, 9:00 PM to 7:30ish AM...so far. My time has been honey-do time. I swapped out a rear lateral arm in my oldest daughter's Toyota Highlander, relocated my fish tank so I can recaulk my kitchen backsplash, and I am about to trim a tree and blow out the gravel in the front yard....
