Well, I got a nearly new to me GP-35 Athearn BB last week so I’ve been working on it some. Had to instal hand rails, New Nathan 3 chimes, Strobe light, EMD style Bell, Mu hoses and mount Kadees. Hope I can get the Number boards too. I have several clean-up projects I need to do and get some of them out of the way.
The cotton Belt conversion for this U-28 has come along quite well. There are still more things to do. Maybe I can get it done this week too.
So, everyone what do ya think?I still need to add a shot of Dulcoat to clean up around the Decals.
One word, CLEAN the layout room and the layout.

That’s six words.[:D]
Well, mine is figuring out what box car to use for Rich Divizio’s competiton/project on his weathering forum. Also, I am finishing up a couple of weathering projects that I’ve been in the middle of forever.
And, you can’t forget the biggest project of the day(Besides raking and mowing up the leaves): College football.[:D]
Also, I’m planning a trip to my LHS(For reason numero uno stated above. Isn’t my Spanish great?[;)])
Started putting down roadbed and a little track on the new layout. Now if Santa would just get here with some more materials, I’d be a happy camper!
No no no, seven [:D]
Hehe.
That was really a funny, I knew there were seven. Just wanted to let everyone know, so you don’t think I need to go back to school![:D]

In the process of installing the Champion Mine in the diggings at South Yuba Canyon. I found that the Walther’s coal mine will work okay for a combination mine/smelter system, so I’m using that kit as a basis. Installing N-scale track for the mine track (I’m in HO), already installed the tailing track and most of the mine track. I’ll be using Grandt Line kits for the office and a subsidiary shaft–the main shaft will come into the mine at a high level from a cliff across the Rio Grande mainline tracks. Should be fun. Here’s some of the work so far:
Basic mine setup.
Tailing track leading to ore dump. Rio Grande mainline in background.

Tom, I love what you have done! Very “earthy” and realisitic.
P.S.- how did you get that neat pink-coloured layering under the surface? [:D]
The pink is inadvertant, LOL! It’s actually the foam base for the layout, which is made by Corning, and doesn’t seem to be available in California, anymore. Something about it being dangerous to Spotted Owls or Snail Darters or something like that. Luckily I stocked up before the stores stopped carring it.

Tom, that track looks so bad(good)…Is it even servicable?? hehe
clean and organize my work bench, ouch…
Find the truck to one of my n-scale cars…see where i left the flextrak…step on some rail nails…curse at rapido couplers…the usual

Joey–no, it’s just there for show. All the mining railroad equipment is going to be stationary. If there were still any HOn2-1/2 equipment still around, I might be tempted to have an operating mining RR, but all I can find is stationary Durango Press and Grandt Line cars. Oh, well–

Those things are evil!
My project is to scenic George’s Gorge so I can lay the yard tracks that go over it. My wife’s project is to scenic the living room ceiling and walls.
At least I don’t keep changing my mind about the color I want. [:-^]
I have a pair of Kato SD40-2s in UP, and on Friday night I painted the grey plastic grabs yellow on both of them, then last night I did a full Mu cable set up and a correct plow on one one of them, and will do the same to the other tonite. Then later comes WEATHERING!!!1
You guys are right it is seven words.
One word, CLEAN.
The layout and the layout room needs to be cleaned.
