    The Pacific Electric MOW department has been very busy. They have tore out the Playa Desnuda junction, and are reconfiguring it into a real junction.

    While nothing is nailed/glued down, here is the basic layout of the track geometry.

    Looks great! I actually turned my Prairie into a Mogul (N scale) a few years back.

    Good evening from cloudy, cold, and rainy/snowy Northeast Ohio

    Little late today, took my wife to the hospital for an operation this morning.

    Got some models done this week!

    Finished off the last of the sheet of Western Maryland decals, building a Branchline 1944 AAR Boxcar kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Microscale Decals. This car was originally built in 1953 in the 2500 class of boxcars, it was rebuilt in 1971 lowering the ladders and removing the roofwalk as was renumbered into the 25000 series. Used in general service on the WM.

    Tangent PS 4740 Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II BN Green and lettered with Microscale Decals. Car was ordered in 1969 and delivered in the soon to be BN Green paint. Car was used in general grain service.

    Hallmark Models Brass Caboose painted with Scalecoat I Caboose Red and Silver Paints, lettered with decals from the Ann Arbor Historical Society.

    Thanks for looking!

    While the wife ran out to pick up dinner, I had enough time to go out to the garage and cut some flex track to fit. I nailed the track in to place, and I plan to start gluing the flex down tomorrow morning.

    Looks great bremner. (y) The junction's track all flows so smoothly that it looks custom laid. This is going to look really nice.

    The two main projects I have done is complete the Frisco Arkansas River Bridge less handrails and safety ladders.
    Also finished the coal trestle less handrails and weathering. Today will install the coal trestle and track, do some scenery and add feeder wires to prepare for taking a video.

    From Nov of 15, a passel of steam on the original iteration of the NPBH. This would be just after I set up the Yellowstone (EM-1) with Loksound...
