There's a good "cover" of snow, and the temps are low enough, and winds strong enough, to produce double digit wind chill factors. Can't think of a better day to stay inside and work on some modeling project, like a 47' LWL, ( Length at Water Line ),
52' LOD ( Length On Deck ), Cutter rig coastal freighter, for the Seaport Village and Museum modules. I want to get this one finished, before I start the "Tern". That three mast schooner will be a scratch built waterline model, plank on frame, that will measure about 22" ( HO 150' )LOA. That's Length Over All, from the tip of the bowsprit to the end of the main boom.
If there's enough interest in seeing that project evolve, I might be tempted to document that build here on Big Blue. Yeah, I know , it's not "Train related"
, but some destinations, require transport by sea, in addition to transport by rail.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
