Train Day with Rob Fair and Jordan Osborn
6-7:30pm

Rob Fair getting ready to install the parking lot lights.
If you look closely, there's definitely something wrong with this picture.
For the answer see the last picture for today.

Jordan Osborn working on updating old paperwork.
A thankless job, but a necessary job all the same.

Using the long drill bit, Rob Fair, begins the installation process.

Rob adds a little more support at the base of the drill bit.

Our list for Sunday's Train Show in Wheaton.

Laying out the parking lot light poles.

Rob Fair had a great idea to tin the ends first, before installing.

Once tinned, Rob began the installation.

Just one more to go.

We did some sample lighting.
This one is with a 5V transformer with a 650 ohm resister.
Not too bright.

This light is powered by a 12V transformer with a 650 ohm resister.
I like this much better.

The final installation minus the wiring.
I like the spacing and I think the lighting will be just right.

Answer to Question from First Picture:
Rob is holding the drill bit in the opposite direction.

Train Day with Dean Hatzis, Josh Jones, & Jordan Osborn

Yes, we had train day, but it was quite abbreviated.
4-5pm.

Here's why...

We caught up with Dean Hatzis and Josh Jones.
Dean's first day back since this summer.

Smile :)

We discussed our plans for next week to mock up the sides for the office portion of this maintenance shed.

We also took some time to discuss the possibilities of mounting and wiring at Union Station.
More to come on this subject...
