Early to the show for once.

Got the decals for the X42, and got it done. Pretty damn happy with it

Last weekend was a car weekend; back to trains this week.  Got the cylinder block and 1st driver set removed from my Consolidation:




I used the wheel puller to re-gauge the driver set (last one to be done):




All four driver sets now in gauge:




New cylinder block being prepped for paint, with styrene to keep paint out of the holes:




At the Victoria Train Show two weeks ago I received the kit for the tender:




I transferred the Bachmann axles and pick-ups into the new tender trucks:




Trucks, drawbar and rear coupler installed in the new tender chassis:




New tender chassis rolling on its trucks:




After getting the cylinder block painted I will be able to reassemble and test the engine with all wheels now in gauge.  I also re-gauged the tender wheels prior to installation.

No modeling for me, but I did come home form 2 weeks in Europe to some awesomeness in the hold mail:



When I sold my Broadway Limited set, I never really considered that"d I'd want it back one day, LOL. Now on the lookout for a pair of BLI PRR E8s.

I’m a sucker for a covered wagon, and this HO scale Athearn F3 was on sale.  I have friends here at TRW that are fans of the WM, so here we are!

Work continues on the N scale Milwaukee Road Everett Street Station.  The left half of the main building is done except for completing the window glazing.  I am waiting for my order at the LHS to finish that step.



End view showing the part of the building that Walthers left off of its HO kit.



Finally, a view with the clock tower propped in place but not glued.



So far I have painted 119 molded in windows.  The right half is next with 102 more.

Sheesh, all the Pennsy guys with their X48s... Should I be feeling FOMO?  :D

Seriously, though, both of those X48s look outstanding.
