Jordan was working at home on a project.
Making things happen on the RR...
 |
| Added weathering and grease spills from parked cars. |
 |
| Next: Parking Lot lights. |
 |
| Rob is going to move the empty coal cars from the East Yard to the West Yard in preparation for return trip to Melrose Park Power Plant. |
 |
| He's using the Powder River Basin Yard map to place his cars in the proper location. |
 |
| Looking good! |
 |
| All set! Nice work, Rob! |
 |
| Yep, that's me taking the picture shown above. |
 |
| Rob and I are speed matching locomotives using JMRI. |
 |
| Here's what it looks like on the computer screen. |
 |
| We followed both locomotives on the monitors to track how close they run together. This is called consisting MUs (multiple units). |

I finished the Parking Lot lights at Crusom Casket Company
 |
| First I had to strip the black wires to expose more of the wire to get contact with the other wires. |
 |
| Looking really good! |
 |
| And from another angle, still looking good! |

My daughter, Emily Zielke, brought me a bag of moss/lichen from Wisconsin where they have a family cabin. Here's what I did with the items she gave me at Mabel's softball game tonight...
 |
| It's real vegetation from the earth. Now I have to secure it and seal it. |
