This week has found me getting things set up for our first real operating session coming up. A good friend was over today as we ran a test session, with him running a mine turn while I worked Spring Street yard. Good thing for the test session, as we discovered a problem with a Peco frog, which will be corrected tomorrow or Thursday.
In the meantime, I added some road grime to otherwise freshly painted GP9 7394 as shown below, today working Spring Street:
Three other locomotives are already on the layout today, including this new visitor, an N12 caboose as shown here:
Up on the workbench, I’m repainting an ex-UPS pup trailer for use on the layout under a different carrier name. Here’s a photo of progress so far:

I have been a railfan since the age of 6, and a modeler since the age of fourteen. This is my first fully (well not quite) completed model railroad. I fell in love with trains early in life, ride them when I can, have volunteered on many steam fan trips and have ridden many more steam excursion trips, have belonged to several model rr clubs, and did a stint as a brakeman/conductor on a midwest regional railroad. My layout was published in Model Railroader magazine in 2016. I hope all of you enjoy the ride here on my sites! I now have the second blog/website up for my other hobby: wargaming with Flames Of War. I have been involved in wargaming off and on since my teens......
