I retrieved my module from the B&O as well.

I also finally finished editing the article on my website about Railbox cars.

Well, I thought I lucked out finding a Kadee car on eBay. It was the Crazy Water Crystals car ART 419, the early car. Since Dan's Train Depot didn't certify it as "factory air inside" got it reasonably but had to pay sales tax since Dan's is also in Florida.  :(  (I already have ART 417.)

Thought I would print end reporting marks, only to find my Canon printer has died.  :'(  I have at least $75.00 in spare cartridges and printheads for it, too. After much searching around for a replacement, I ordered a refurbished model of the same printer, as I don't know of many that can print 1 and 2 point type.

I really need to get back to work upstairs.  :-\

I laid the lion's share of track that will be Phillipsburg (NJ) Jct on the Lehigh Valley.  I also had my kids "help" lay down some plaster-soaked towels as the start of some scenery...

I got the two main sections of Spencer hung and connected after 6 months of storage.  I use c-clamps and steel pins to keep the sections together and the track aligned.  I don't use connector tracks so I was a bit apprehensive about getting everything back together.  It worked perfectly.  :)

I also hung single tube 3000K fluorescent fixtures so I can see what I'm doing.  Now all I have to do is stay home long enough to work on the layout.   :P

Now to test the new 0-8-0 that arrived the other day . . . . .

Amato: Have you ever seen The Lehigh and Keystone Model Railroad Club in Bethlehem, PA? - Great replica
of P-Burgh. Skibbeb is that a module or part of your layout, you are like a Midheim Yoda.
