Good morning everyone. 37 and raining. rained all night, too.
Chessie, Flip, Tom, Garry, Lee, Sherrel, Patrick, Wheeler, CCoffran, Willie, Chet, and anyone I may have missed - thanks for the likes and comments on my photo yesterday.
Nice pic Johnny
Flip - Sorry to hear about the problems. Hang in there, pray.
Patrick - That Monty Python song is great! I have always liked the British humor (my wife is British by birth, by the way) - Python, John Cleese, the shows Are You Being Served and Fawlty Towers - - this is great stuff.
Garry - Another nice photo from your layout - you really get some highly realistic looks.
Chet - Weather guy here says we're in for lows in the single digits and teens next week. It's too early in the season for that!
Evidently my box fans aren't blowing that Montanan/Canadian air back to you fast enough
Ran trains for a little while last night. Found some cars that like to decouple, and figured out it must be mismatched couplers - one high, one low so when they go around a curve they'll decouple. Gotta fix that.
Finished the ranch tract house. Pretty satisfied with it. Just have to put a couple of folks on the porch, maybe a bench there too. Will post final photo soon.
Decided to add the south end of main street to the section I'm going to work on next. It's been sitting there for a couple of years this way:
View attachment 41332
I may replace that house with another store or two, add the landscaping, and fix that road - it really looks awful. Those 1:87 citizens have been paying their taxes, so I guess it's about time to put their money to use on street improvements
I won't get started on this area for a few days, probably. Will post progress photos.
That's it for now. My coffee pot is calling.
Have a good day everyone.
