Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning Everyone. 28° and clear. Not as warm today as yesterday, but the wind will shift from the south later today and we'll be warmer for a few days after.
Eggs Benedict this morning Flo. Use whole wheat English Muffins please.
Thanks for the likes and comments yesterday regarding the trailers; Patrick, Sherrel, Jerome, Mikey, Beady, Terry, Ken, Garry, Bill, Justin.
Out in the train shed, I finished up the last grain delivery pipe for the elevator/mill complex.
I'll continue to add some minor details to this scene as I find them in the morass of parts that I have accumulated.
Otherwise I took the rest of the day off from modeling and just ran a lot of trains. Did a mixed freight switching turn to my town of Graham, switching a paper goods distributor, a cannery, a tannery, a small manufacturer and a pallet maker. Later I did another turn at my imaginary ethanol processor, swapping out 16 empty tankers for 16 full ones. The tracks are all in place, but none of the buildings have been built. I also have three of the four double loading racks in place. Found an elusive car that still had plastic wheels on it and took care of that promptly.
Still haven't decided what direction I will be going in next. The empty lot/trailer makes sense, but I need to look at it some more. Essentially I have ten layout sections, each about 2' x 16' that have track running through and many industries and other structures in place, but which are mostly devoid of scenery. Other than vehicles, I pretty much have all that I need to complete everything, but I will also have to make 100's of trees and signs. I could just spend a few days just adding some figures to already completed areas.
Terry - I like the blue tarp idea, I have seen that here as well.
Beady - Suggestion noted.
Mikey -
Sherrel - That is one amazing model. The interior looks just like the one that we used to use at work.
Everybody have a great Friday.

They're only in the yard when they're drinking beer! My migrant workers are usually at work.If you don't like the police idea, have 4 or 5 vehicles around the trailer with 10 or 12 migrant workers in the yard.
