Great work so far again this week. I have not had much Modeling time the last 6 week as we had our first child. She was born Aug 17th

Here is Liliana and I just hangin out!!!




Cute kid, Jeff. Congratulations. However.... you do realize that introducing golf to anyone under the age of 94 is akin to child-abuse, don't you?

arbomambo , That is a fine job. How was it to build? I love the look and would like to see it in place.

One has to keep a sense of humor when one is deep into a very tedious and patience-trying task.
Four wheels down, two to go.



Very clever; you realize eventually you'll have to release "Drivers For Sale", don't you? :)

Can you share how you lowered that very nicely weathered Bowser H21A Josh?  File the bolster?  Enlarge the hole in the truck bolster?  Thank you.

Seeing as i play golf for a living I do believe she will need to learn the game. But i will keep my eye out for the child services people!!!

Late to the game but wanted to post this anyway. I finished up the first 60 foot heavyweight baggage car from my new castings. It is based on a New York Central prototype. More details at my web site, which BTW has changed servers. So if you had my old comcast site bookmarked, look for the new site at Skytopmodels.com

A meeting in the home office led to some badly needed cleaning... some layout progress may be the ultimate result.  Of course, the downside of cleaning is remembering where you stashed everything that was cluttering the desk...

Anyway, no immediate modeling work, be we did enjoy a weekend of "research"...



Included a nice stop for (almost) lunch with Ed K, Dave Foxx, Ben Snyder and Ryan Lamm...  I say almost because the train crew gives you 90 minutes to grab lunch while they spin the loco around, but the clowns in the restaurant we went to felt like 2 hours was more appropriate.  We ended up boxing up our order and running down the hill to catch the train back to Cumberland.  I don't think Ed's crew ate at all...

One fun side trip was to the real Casselman Crossing... Grantsville, Maryland... (it's really US 40 and the old National Road that crosses there).  This was a signature scene on my old layout.\





I think I did a pretty good job!  It's important to note that this was first time I'd laid eyes on the Casselman River other than a brief stop at Confluence in the dead of winter.  It sure demonstrates the importance of good reference photos!

Thanks Lee, that sounds like it was (almost) fun except for the lunch part. Love the scenery.

As part of my attempt to both finish the year strong and get projects off the workbench I spent Monday night (last night of my three day weekend) doing some decals.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

The female Ichabod is supposed to be on a CSX four bay - which I don't own - so I used a V&O three bay. If you have to foobie, you might as well foobie fully! Still need to do the rust decals on the other side and finish the weathering.

"If you have to foobie, you might as well foobie fully!" 

Certainly!  At that point it becomes "freelancing", not "how did you get it wrong?", so few people will question it.
