Possibly double ditto, so long as I get Craig's spine cars paid off first.

No modeling. Spent Sat at a Kentucky Derby party. On Sunday I made it to the N Scale show in Columbus. My first time there. Even got the GF to go. She said she liked it because it was all N, no O and HO distractions. That cost me dinner at Schmidts, a great German place in German Village.

Found out Neal's Ngaging is just changing names and owners not going out of business.

I posted some pics on the Columbus thread.

Also put som CR cars together, and have to figure out what the reporting mark PCA means (CR box has that as them)

PCA and PCB were Penn Central reporting marks.

That's the #21165.  The CRHS owns that caboose.  We were doing a little work on it on Sunday.  Specifically, we were masking and painting handrails.  It's an ongoing restoration project.

I had a pretty long week away from trains.  I built a few floor joists with 2x8s and joist hangers to patch a hole (caused by the original stairs to the basement) in my kitchen floor that was previously supported with a framework of 2x3s.

The CRHS BBQ was excellent and I had a good time.
