The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #IX.. Stop In!!!

[tompm]

Good morning folks

It is 56 with a predicted high of 64.

Yesterday did a bunch of chores around the house and then ran a few errands.

I finished tuning up the cars from the 30 car run. I also repaired the coupler pocket on a Walthers USRA gondola. Before I started I did realize the car still had plastic wheels. I painted another metal set and installed them. I gave up on the two Red Caboose tank cars. Both somehow had a broken Kadee coupler. In order to change the coupler you have to remove the trucks and disassemble the frame of the car. Also every time the cars are out something else falls off of them or breaks. This time another grab iron fell off and I noticed a broken ladder. These cars are just more trouble than they are worth.

I am going to head down Delaware to get gas in a bit. Later tonight I have to take my wife to get her haircut.

I hope everybody has a good day.
