GEC's Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Well, I think its been just over 2 months since I posted any progress...

Part of that was because I was job searching, and that constant anxiety more or less killed my will to model (another challenge on here missed....) Fortunately though, I have gotten a new job as a process tech at Rowan University. I was a bit nervous since its in their Chemical Engineering Department (I do biotechnology), but they are trying to set up a cell culture lab before spring, and so I am one of the few people there who knows what they need and how to do things, so it works out!

In any event, there hasn't been a lot in the way of new modeling going on. I am constructing city buildings for my train club. I also was able to acquire a few second hand models cheaply, including an addition E60CH by American GK, and a spare GP40FH-2 shell on top of the two I already had and the "clone" from a past challenge.

I also received an NJ Transit F7A with sound by Intermountain, and some extra NJ Transit coaches.

Now that I'm somewhat settled employment wise, I'm hoping that I can get back to modeling these things to some extent. The nice weather is almost gone, and soon painting will be an issue, particularly in regards to the Arrow Is I started painting earlier this summer.

Unfortunately, I can't think of much else to discuss. Its been a depressingly slow summer, and I really wanted to get more done than I did. All the time I was free I felt to much anxiety to do the models, or I had to devote my time to the other people in my life

I was really hoping I'd have at least my Arrow Is operating by show time this year, and now with my job I might be able to afford a set of Stanton drives for them, but If I don't get them at least painted up and assembled soon, that will be the end of that.
