Train Day!
w/Rob Fair 6-8pm 2 hrs.
Jordan Osborn 6:15-7:30pm 1.25 hrs.
Marcus Thorsen 6:30-7:30pm 1 hr.

Look what we did...

Rob is going to put Mixed Freight Train 5C to rest
tonight.

Jordan spent the night with his phone.

As Rob finishes putting the locomotives away, 
Marcus works on the back wall.

I've got some great action videos of this.
Check out the Weekly Video Update in Saturday's entry.

Working on the base of the wall.

Rob has moved from the Mixed Freight to the
Metra Commuter Train 1A heading EB to Chicago Terminal

Rob keeping a close eye on the Commuter Train.

I made some new labels for some new switches at
Central Control Tower.

Instead of pulling the cables out from the power strip
I can now see what lights go with what switch.

I have 3 more switches to install and then three more labels to mark each switch.

The last 15 minutes Rob will cut and install windows
for the shed at the CNW Engine Facility.

Moving the workspace where there's more light.

Gluing the clear plastic in place in the window frames.

The first thing I did today was to finish off the window panes in the CNW Engine Shop

Hard to tell, but the windows are now all IN.

Another shot to see if you can tell.

Next...

Lots of reconfiguring in the storage room today...

All the stuff from the old cabinet - OUT.

This is going to take some work.

Empty cabinet.

Empty space for new cabinet.

I had to adjust the height of
all the shelves.

One I had to cut off and move
to this new top location.

It took 2 hours and 48 minutes. YIKES!

Look what came in the mail today!

Amazon drop off.

New labels and installation.

Looking good! Much easier to turn on and off!
