Good evening folks
The temperatures are finally getting closer to the average for this time of year, and the snow is actually beginning to melt. Weather has kept the contractor from being too busy the last week or so. This has given us time to catch up on paperwork and training.
I have been building some rolling stock kits the past few nights. I have also been going through the collection to find stuff that I will not use or duplicates. Currently working on the passenger cars.
The wife wants to go to the farmer’s market in Wayne, PA. If time permits, she also wants to go to a store in Wynnewood called the Head Nut which is a store that sells all types of nuts of course. They also sell candies, coffee, and dried fruit.
I am hoping to continue assembling kits and running trains. I have some organizing to do along with going through the collection.
On the annoying side of things, I am dealing with an individual who does not like the fact that I am running my P5a motor with the pantograph raised up with no catenary and dared to make a YouTube video of it. He called it ugly and unprofessional. This isn’t the first time he has made negative remarks about running electric motors with the pan up and no catenary. More on this at another time.
Jim here's to a speedy recovery.
I hope everybody has a good evening.
