It's gonna be around 38 tonight. Shouldn't even need the heater. Well I set down track today so I could see just where I need to put white foam when I have some to put down. I was using a couple of 9" straight tracks to map the areas for the straights and I can already see that I'll need to cut a few 'custom' pieces, maybe as short as one inch.
I put the newly set down curve to good use. While I was living at my fathers place I put together some locos but had no way to test them. Well today they got tested. Two are old 40's era Varney F3A's that I repowered with blue box Athearn F7 drives. The Athearn frames are an almost perfect fit. Anyway, they run great. I also test ran an Athearn GP50. Beautiful runner and it has a just audible growl.
Time to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
