Well, I had quite the weekend!
Got a visit from @tom mann on Saturday. He weathered a gon right in front of me and proved one, he is real, and two, he does not use magic or trickery in his weathering. He gave me hope that I could do what he does in time and experience.
We later laid down the groove in some jazz trombone duets between sips of espresso.

I wish Tom Mann would come to my house and weather one of my FVM B&O wagontops. I can't bring myself to do anything more than dullcote them.


Australian?  :trollface: :trollface: :trollface:

(you know, because, upside down? lol Sorry man, couldn't resist.)

It was right side up when I posted it. Don't know why it happened.  :|

Cody, buy his book. It's cheaper than learning to play trombone!

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."

Lots of very impressive work guys!  I will throw it into sharp relief with a shot of my progress this weekend - installed ground throws on the half of the layout that's got track, and had some fun limited operation.

Folks, my goal in 2015 is to visit all of your houses and weather something for you.  It is just $125/hour.

Hmm... I can afford
$1.20 an hour, but I'll
throw in some termites...


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.

How much to run by my workbench with a rattlecan?

Finally got around to putting a new Spectrum short tender and DCC on my Model Power 4-4-0 this evening. It should have been easier than it was mostly due to ham handedness. I mean they placed all the wires in the old tender and the tender is a straight swap onto the MP draw bar, how hard can it be, right? Trust me, you can screw it up with broken wires and other stuff. Now that it's done, the engine runs BEAUTIFULLY at all speeds and is very quiet. I'm happily watching it run as it gets broken in. Have a great week guys.

I've been planting trees! Enjoying how the super trees are changing the layout.
