Good Morning Everyone. It is a nice cool morning here on this side of PA. Today will consist of getting the former B&O F7A painted black and lettered and numbered for Conrail. This is the final unit for my short Conrail roster that will make an appearance on the C&I from time to time. There really isn't much on the agenda for today other than that.
The temps are starting to get like fall weather now in the evening but right now during the day we are still in the mid 70s to low 80s. There isn't any rain in sight all week and it's not a bad thing but we sure could use a couple days of some nice steady rain. Last year around this time we was in a bad drought but according to the weather, we are on the dry side of the drought while other parts of PA are at moderate. As much as I don't like saying it, we need a good winter with lots of snow. One can hope and pray for that. But now it's time to start on the F7A locomotive so be on the lookout on my thread of current projects.
Have a great day everyone and take care.
