Train Day with Rob Fair

We started off with a dead car in Rob's driveway.

I picked him up and drove him to Advanced Auto for parts.

We came back and wired up a few Chicago Downtown buildings...

7-8pm 1 hr.

We installed the lights in the high rises tonight.

Rob Fair connecting the lights together and then will solder them into one connection.

We enclosed each light fixture in a translucent cylinder so it wouldn't be so bright.

Here's the view from the front of the three fronts and the other corner high rise.

Here Rob is ready to put the corner high rise over the light assigned to that building.

This is the back view as you approach Chicago Terminal underneath.

Here's a little panoramic view from Central Control Tower.
East Power District.

North Power District

West/North Power District with a bit of Chicago Downtown in view.

South Power District with a rare view of Jan Berg also making a visit, or maybe just an announcement.
"Time to go upstairs."

Another view of the South Power District with the Excursion Train in full view.

Josiah Crockett with the "best seat in the house" keeping his arms up and out of the way as the trains roll by one after the other.

Instead we were celebrating Jan's birthday at Brian & Emily Zielke's in Elburn

Josiah Crockett still visiting and still playing with trains.
He does such a great job playing with his and watching mine.
