Train Day!
w/Rob Fair 6-8:15pm 2.25 hrs.
Rob worked on the Metra F40PH.
It appeared we fixed the problem, but we couldn't get the locomotive running again.
Back to the drawing board...
 |
| Here's the down and out Metra F40PH locomotive with its shell off. |
 |
| Rob Fair is getting the wires ready to test continuity. |
 |
| A little adjustment here and there. |
 |
| As Rob worked on the locomotive, I worked on these street details. |
 |
| Here's where they will go on the layout. |

Got up early and worked on the signage...
 |
| Hopefully I'll be able to use a few of these around the layout. |
 |
| I grouped them together and then we'll see where we go from here. |
 |
| Later today, look what came in the mail. |
We'll take a closer look tomorrow...

 |
| Testing the new traffic lights. I will set them up and see how everything works before installing these items on the layout. |
 |
| Finished the day in the dining room working on the HVAC units. Man that was really hard. In fact, I wasn't able to finish. I will need to start over another day. |
