Painted and installed coupling hooks on the Nn3 coach that I recently built.

Hmm... what?! no sausage?
No pepperoni? No black
olives? No onions...?

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

@jereising The numbers that FVM did have a couple different roofline treatments. 

Thanks, @Missaberoad - that's about what I've found.  Seems the most common are the GPS bump along with two long white ones - be nice to know what (or if) they are standardising on.  UP seems to have the FVM style as their standard, but again, I need to do some confirmation on that.

And to add to the mix, it seems BNSF is further along than UP in implementing PTC, perhaps they use several methods.

I finally finished the AC44C4M! All it needs to do is get some run time on the layout.

Cleaned up and unpacked 2/3rds of the garage. So naturally, I started layout height scoping:

Sicilian?

Kinda. It's "Old Forge Style", which is kinda like Sicilian, but with some interesting differences (see the link on the blog post).

I just got the pics from the second part of the trip posted. This is the day that featured SD40-2s and SD50s on the R&N.

We were mad, a Texas lunch place was on the docket for Sunday, but they were all closed.

Just something to do next trip.
