I guess I'm following the format right, its 38 and sunny in southern New Jersey.
Covid scheduling gives me Wednesday at the cost of Sunday (but i get the lab to myself on sunday) so it works out.
Been somewhat stalled on my modeling, but I did recently scoop up a bunch of 50' Berwick boxcars since it was apparently one of the only style of "IPD" era boxcar i didnt have. Most of them were Atlas (a Ma & Pa and a couple railboxes), but I wanted a few more NRUC boxcars in my train, so I scooped up a branchline kit, apparently the predecessor of Atlas's current model.
I think this is the first kit-car I've built in a while.
I've been stalling on a new layout design though. I'm still committed to my tag-line below, but its been getting harder and harder to balance the track plan. It technically fits, but I suspect it is way too deep in many places.
