I had some time today to work on the railroad...
 |
| Here's the BEFORE picture. I wanted to attach the skirt tonight. |
 |
| After attaching the skirt around the East Power District, I realized I was 12" too long around the Chicago peninsula. So I had to cut that part off. |
 |
| Here's the part I cut off. In the distance is the part I'm going to install. |
 |
| And here's the final look. You like? |
 |
| This is the East Power District skirt where I began tonight's project. |
 |
| My last task of the evening was to organize my workbench and to write up inspection sheets for the 12 cars you see in the foreground. The 12 inspection sheets are in the clipboard hanging from a hook to the right. |

Family over to our home for Thanksgiving.

Later, when the Zielke's came back from bowling with their family, I took some fun rapid fire pictures.
These top two go together:
The next series shows a fun set of photos which captures the mood.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Now, isn't that so fun?
