What you been up to this week. For me, more electrical work. I wired in several more block detectors and also put fascia turnout indicators on the upper level of the layout ..

For me, that included setting up the new work room, finished emptying what seemed like a 1000 boxes, and getting the house in somewhat general order.  After that I still managed to finish these up... okay, so maybe it was the last week and a half....  ;D

My apologies in advance to all of the ESPEE fans out there....

Made more trees last night, and did a bunch of decoder work for others, including an HO Bachmann Docksider (Actually a pretty cool little engine) and an ancient track cleaning car, also HO.  Next on the bench is a Kato Mike...  I've heard horror stories about putting a decoder in these things, but there's nothin' to it but to do it!

Not much done this week.  Did pick up a red GG1 at the Timonium show.  Also got a Lineside Models 1955 Bel Air 2 door and a Period Miniatures 1957 Bel Air.  Always on the lookout for mid 50's autos. 

Allen - I have one of those PRR Trainsmasters.  I was thinking about just taking the trainphone antennas off and grafting it onto an Atlas model for the easy way out.

Thanks and honestly, I have no idea.  I just saw a picture of them one day and said, hey those look cool, I need one or two or three....  ;D

Looking at those pictures again reminds me I need to darken the inside of the cabs like the last one I did.  I'm sure Ed would have reminded me at some point that I forgot....  ::)

Warren, that is first class! I love the fact that you did all of the internal framing.

This week, I got the first B&O S-1 Stock car built for the NTS. I  hope to also have the B&O S-2 double deck stockcar ready. These cars feature multiple side, end and door layers that fold together to create the prototype structures.
