I worked a bit on ballasting starting where we left off on Wednesday...
 |
| You can see where I've started filling in the ballast in the middle of Track 1. |
 |
| Adding more ballast to both tracks. |
 |
| Then mixing the glue with isopropyl alcohol and we have extended our ballast to 3rd Street Geneva. |

Rob Fair, Jordan Osborn and myself worked tonight from 5:30-7pm.
FYI...Rob Fair will be on vacation next Monday.
 |
| Rob Fair is going to continue with our ballast project up to the crossover just before Geneva Station. |
 |
| Cool picture. Jordan Osborn taking an overview of the project from his post at the Central Control Tower. |
 |
| I'm all over the place. Drawing in the retention pond. This will be a project soon coming. |
 |
| Rob Fair continues on his ballasting ways. He does a great job! A very fine eye for detail. That's Rob! |
 |
| Meanwhile, I spent some time at Proviso Yard mounting some unmounted switch machines. |
 |
| Rob Fair putting in some finishing touches to the middle run off section. |
 |
| Jordan Osborn takes great pictures. He was a bit tired tonight, but his pictures sure don't show it! |
 |
| Some intricate work on the switch stands at East Proviso Yard. |
 |
| Another switch stand I had to manipulate at East Proviso Yard. I used the plastic underneath so it wouldn't adhere to the cork. If the CA sticks to the plastic I'll just cut off the extra plastic and use it as part of the switch stand. |

 |
| Dean Hatzis is getting the lay of the land for his "at home" project. |
 |
| Dean Hatzis will be taking the prototype photos with him and kitbash a model that will look great! He's working on the California Avenue Metra Maintenance Facility. |
 |
| Unfortunately, Jordan Osborn had to be very patient - actually got a bit bored as Dean and I discussed Dean's "at home" project. Thanks for hanging around with us, Jordan. You're a real railroader. |
