Week 102

Week 102

VACATION WEEK

Jan and I are heading to Geneva NY for a wedding near where we'll be staying.

We'll be staying on Lake Seneca which is one of 11 lakes of the Finger Lakes in mid-state NY.

When we arrived I noticed RR tracks right near our home.

Our first night, while we were in bed, we heard a train on the tracks just across the street.

Turns out the tracks are owned by Norfolk and Southern operated by a ShortLine RR named 

Finger Lakes RR.

Here's the crossing:

 Looking South...

Here's the northbound route along the lake.

One of the following mornings I heard another train coming and raced up the hill to take this video:

Watch as the engine goes by...

I even got a wave from the engineer.

I began putting the warehouse model as soon as we got settled on Monday, July 4th.

Here's the progress...

I got to this point and realized the front of the building was on the angled side. 

Not acceptable.

So I had to "kitbash" my first structure and remove the base and have the front be the back and the back be the front. UGH!

 I also decided the model needed a paint job so I stopped by the downtown hobby store (pretty cool) and purchased some paint and paint brushes.

All I need to do now is add the roof accessories.

Then I'll be all done!

There will be one more picture coming soon...

Actually
Three more.
Roof accessories installed.
Finished product.
