Train Day!
w/Rob Fair & Jordan Osborn
6-8:30pm 2.5 hrs.
Not only did we get a lot done, I also filmed my first monthly Layout Tour Update
but first, what we got accomplished tonight...
 |
| Rob Fair is researching the prototype photo and will begin work on adding details to the entrance area for UP/Metra California Avenue Coach Yard |
 |
| This section has been lifted to allow Rob to get to the entrance off Sacramento Blvd. |
 |
| Jordan helped me ID the cars in the Proviso Yard |
 |
| After standing for too long, we got Jordan a stool to sit and get a better, more comfortable, view |
 |
| Rob Fair working in the hole. |
 |
| Another view. He is placing the utility poles to match the prototype photo |
 |
| Jordan getting back to his "normal" position |
 |
| Drilling holes for the utility poles |
 |
| Working on the guard rails. |
 |
| Jordan noticed the "red" on the switch stands were really pink. Not acceptable. Jordan went to the paint room and pulled out a real red. |
 |
| I went around the layout and re-painted all the ground throws showing "pink" to "red" |
Here is my 1st of 2021 monthly
