Frank,
It's funny how one completed project from the To Do list always requires finishing 9 other partial projects.

Unfortunately, you end up not having the time to finish what you actually started out to do.

I have spent weeks months on my L1s. I'd glue one or 2 parts a night. In fact, I'm STILL not done!

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

I should have done the same thing...I rushed it and messed up the cab pretty bad. I glued my fingers to the cab castings and distorted them so bad even the rows of rivets are crooked.

I finally contacted GHQ about buying new cab parts last Friday.

Hey! I just realized that the current blog entry is a "rerun" It was published months ago. I wonder how I managed to screw that up?

Just found out there is a calendar and you can change the date of publication...Set it back to January 20th or so. I think that's the right date.

Sorry for the S.N.A.F.U.

What he said. I bought my kit off eBay and found out it didn't come with a tender. Turned out the resin tender I got from RLW was a better deal anyways. Although I had some paint adhesion issues.

Thanks guys...I'm looking at the online catalog now.

Love the narrow guage stuff... oh yeah here it is...

Could also use that dog house on a few other tenders.

I can even retry installing the handrails!

Good thing I screwed up the blog entry.
