Weekend Update 4/7/24

I worked on detailing and repainting a Kato NW2 this week. I modeled a snow plow that clips onto the sill with no glue, as well as a dynamic brake? radiator and a weather window.  The vent and windows got glued on and puttied in, and the loco got its base coat of paint.  I am modeling TSBY 1977, and next up is making some custom decals for it.

I’m very intrigued by this no glue snow plow. Would be able to share a bit more about that?

Thanks to the knowledge and observations of others within the last two weeks, I was able to design and print an RBB&B payload that has been stagnant for years — the 1947 Ford 794T personnel bus. I found no information on the bus other than the wheelbase length. But the front end is the same as the F1 pickup, and the design was the same throughout the war years. There is plenty of info on the pickups. So it was easy enough to adapt that to the bus. The first print attempt appears to be perfect, so these should be in primer tonight and silver paint by tomorrow night.

LOL all I got was a piece of paper saying "we're good".

You didn't get the deed to the house?! 
Mine was paid of several years ago, and yes it is a great feeling not having a mortgage.  I hate owing money to anybody. Make sure you homeowner's insurance has enough coverage!

I really don't know if I get a deed or not. But the bank sent the "release of mortgage" letter. Don't owe a single dollar to anyone now.

I'm sure next month will be great. And the month after. And the month after. And the month after. And the month after. And the month after.

Finally got back to my sawmill project and finished up on the mill pond log lift and track/chain to the de-barker building and on to the mill to where I could try a print...









For now I think I'm happy with this. Some little things I could consider changing but nothing big. Need to move onto the de-barker building and the continuation of the track/chain to the mill's log deck. That will be about it for the sawmill presently but might design a couple other outbuildings later such as the office, burner, steam plant and a shed over the track loading area. Need to get back to the layout scenery and track laying.

More images and info over in the 3D Printing section on here....

You got the deed to your house the day you bought it and it was recorded.  The same day the bank had you sign a note and mortgage and the mortgage was also recorded and became a lien on your title so that you couldn't sell your house without paying off the mortgage.  When you recently paid off your mortgage the bank filed a release of its mortgage lien and you now have clear title. You should also get the mortgage note back, marked "PAID."

My comments are based upon Illinois law but mortgage law is pretty universal.  Most of all, Congratulations!

That sounds familiar.  But I thought I had to go to the registry of deeds.  Maybe what I got there was the clear title.  It's been a while  . . .

Went to the Rocky Mountain train show on Saturday and spent most of my time talking to Lowell Smith.  Sounds like he has a lot of stuff on the horizon.  He had a sample of the dome car.

What's the prototype for the dome car?

Late to the party, but I picked up some Martin Welberg scenery materials from Scenic Express at the Rocky Mountain Train Show this weekend. I've been adding the weed clumps to Lizard Head which really makes it look like what I saw in person up there in September 2018.

Looking good. Here's hoping we can swap the roof onto the Kato CZ cars to fix the dome window issues.

Wellberg material is cheating.

I kid. Looks great. I had a long talk abt scenery material with him at Amherst, I have a feeling the Mifoshape stuff that'll get imported soon will be up your alley.
