Good morning folks
It is a little chiller than the past few days at 36. It is heading up to 43.
As predicated after I got hoe from the doctor not much got done. I did throw a load of laundry in the washer.
I added screws to the coupler clips and changed the plastic wheels to metal on some more Athearn blue box kit boxcars. I have one more blue box kit to tune up. I fixed a MDC/Roundhouse kit that was previously built. The original builder apparently did not understand how to attach the weights with the suppled plastic washers. I added the washers and a little glue to secure the weights. I changed the wheels to metal. I need to check the coupler height.
On the Bowser AS16 I reassembled the wheel assembly and lubed it. I was going to solder the wires back to the contacts but found my small wire strippers are missing. I had to order a new pair. I still need to clean the other wheel assembly.
Today I have an EMG on my legs to see if the nerves are causing the pain I am sometimes experiencing. I will see how feel afterwards as to what gets done. There is always laundry. Hopefully I can get some train time in.
I hope everybody has a good day.
