Progress on multiple fronts. Signage and window glass have been installed on the front face of the ACME. There's a covered porch that will have to be built over the automatic doors on the right side at some point, but I'm moving on to side and back faces of the building, which are all going to be cinder block with some doorways.
I also tore down the Penn Central GP30 for the purpose of installing LED lighting. After pondering the options, I elected to completely rid myself of the existing electric board that rode on the halves of the chassis to pick up track voltage and dispensed power to the incandescent lights.
Replaced power pickup by drilling a hole in each side of the chassis and installing two machine screws and nuts with an electric pickup on top (got this idea from Charlie many moons ago and put it into practice).
Got humpty dumpty back together and I hope to reweather it later today.
