[Running Bear]

R.B.- Great job on weathering those diesels...What do you use..?? I got a couple of UP units in their bright Armour Yellow...I think some light weathering would make them look like they actually do some work....Especially the trucks...

I use A.I.M weathering powders and a cheap clear flat spray, usually Clear Flat or Matte Finish.

Good morning. It's 36°F with 92% humidity. the high will be 52°F and cloudy.


I got a phone call this morning from the prosthetics clinic. They want me there tomorrow morning. They said something about a leg.

No plans set in stone today. I'll probably do some more work on Oliver's adventure. I got all the remaining seating compartments of the coach programmed in yesterday. Now I have to go back and program in what goes on in the newly added ones. Compartments 7-4 are already done complete with variable driven events. 3-1 have what's in them but no events yet and D4-D1 are empty at this time and have no events. Soon I'll be putting in things for Oliver to do, find and interact with.

Yesterday when I was cleaning the chips in my mothers old IIe I broke a leg off one of the RAM chips. Well I wasn't going to leave it with 56k RAM. That's why I get old boards and cards. There's always a need for spare parts. I pulled a RAM chip from a non-op board and used it to replace the damaged one. I hooked the computer up afterward and ran the diagnostics on the RAM and it was green across the board. If only DCC boards were that easy to fix.
