As far as Twilight Zone, I have 'em ALL on DVD. I was in one of those "clubs" a few years back and couldn't pass that up.
My COVID project that's actually been accomplished was to get around (finally) to painting and decaling 14 Intermountain and three Accurail 5161 covered hoppers I had collected over the last 2-4 years. The idea is to combine these with 14 Scale Trains BNSF 5188s, three Accurail BNSF 5161s, and a few other covered hoppers to create a BNSF "brown worm" grain train. Been impossible to find BNSF 5161s for sale at a reasonable price so over over time I accumulated 5161s in other colors with a view to repaint, re-letter. They had been collecting dust until COVID came along and gave me the flexibility to move on that project. So, now I've got this beautiful new train, but no place to run it because I'm an Ntraker.

Covid 19 hasn't affected me too much because I'm retired and I stay home anyway, Cynthia and I always wear a mask when we go out. Oklahoma's governor has tested positive for Covid two days ago. Joe
I have been holed up on my 2 and 1/2 acres since this first started several months ago. Since then I have developed two old timer passenger trains and a small fleet of little steamers to pull them for when I want to run just steam on the layout. A real bummer that Japan is almost totally shut down as I would be ordering from there now and would be getting the stuff in about a week and a half. In the small maritime community where I live it like being cut off from the world. No supplies in the stores and next to non existent restocking. Probably take to foraging for food in the woods and along the shores and using tree bark for T-tissue.
I can drag a kayak down in the woods behind me and put it in a stream there that is fed by four springs off the property. If I can make it over the beaver dams Mobjack Bay is less that five miles away where I can crab, shrimp, and fish not to mention below me are some of the finest oyster and clam beds in the world. But everything except fish is seasonal. Fortunately I have all the fishing supplies I need. Not so my Grandson who came much later and found next to no fishing supplies left and they have not restocked. Stores here are full of bare shelves and freezers empty and they are rationing meat.
Cynthia and I hung the overhead lights valence for modules 01, 02 and 03 this morning, 01 hasn't been installed yet because I need to extend the benchwork first. Joe
Covid projects are growing in my home as well. We got an easy up to help while working on the cars and I've been in my garage probably way more than I should be ! I created this little side project though for some entertainment. I've been dealing with some pesky locos and had to exercise my frustration !
I'd say about 1/2 of what I have completed in the last 4 months can be attributed to Covid-19 since I have more free time on the weekend.
