Me likey.

Me likey so much that I might want to talk about one of those for long-term lease to the BRS . . . It has a Reading look to it.

I have one of those Trix FMs, from back in  the 70s, still in service.  I had never noticed the "face" before, even though mine also has the bell.

Almost done.  Dull coat and windows for the shell, and new LEDs are all that's left.

Now begins the debate of whether to install clear glass in the cab, or keep the retro gray pladtic...




Also tuned up these little hustlers, and numbered them to keep track of their service history.

Are you a fan of the Illinois Terminal paint scheme, or is it just a coincidence?

Probably a coincidence.  I picked my coloring because I like the Reading, and the lettering is akin to the WM/RDG late 60s thing.  The yellow sill stripe is primarily there because it's dirt simple to mask...

Digging through the archives this morning netted me this gem, which was the first time I pulled all the stuff out of the box from my cousin after Christmas 2018.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/53EaBVmfoEQV7GpdA

According to the purchase history on ebay, since that time, I've spent enough to start my own space program.

This is mainly an experiment to see how the link works.  I have a raft of stuff archived in Google, and I'd like to be able to access it without a lot of falderal.

Photo test also...

Dammit.  I guess I'll have to edit together those old table top videos and put it up on the YouTubes.

You may resume your otherwise tawdry lives.

Keep trying. Failure is often the first step towards success. Just ask Elon Musk.
