Train Day!
w/Rob Fair
6-8pm 2 hrs.
Lots of little things getting done tonight...
Rob made some parking lot bumpers for me out of pieces of rail. I like it! |
Another overall view of the parking lot with bumpers. |
Working on a section of W. Washington Street where we've had some trains traverse with some difficulty. |
Rob had to file down the plastic on the curve. |
The test cars passed over with flying colors. Great work, Rob! |
Let's head down the line and work on the RIP building. Rob will reinforce one of the smoke stakes and permanently install both. |
Finished product. Great work, Rob! |
I will prepare the painting area with tape. |
Rob will finish off the tape job with a paint job. |
How's it look? You like? I do. |
Moving a little more down the line. Rob and I discussed how we would prepare the plat- forms at Winfield/Berkeley stations. |
And even a bit further down the line. We are adjusting the angle of Marion Street. |
This will allow the street to cross the RR at a more realistic angle. |

I had a few minutes (30 to be exact) to get things going on the RR...
First thing is to take the weight off the sidewalk. |
Here you go. Now I will need to add some rail fans watching the diamonds at "J" Tower. |
Now it's time to lay the brick street of Marion Street in Oak Park. |
One side finished. |
Both sides finished. |
Side walks added at both ends. |
And look what came in the mail today. It's the model I will kitbash for the Oak Park Marion St. Station. |
This is the box it came in which was on our porch. |
