Good evening folks
The medical procedure went well this morning. I am just getting up and about. The painkillers kept me down for most of the day. Maybe I will wander down to the layout and do some train things.
Weekend went well. On Saturday, we ran errands and did some laundry. On Sunday, we took it easy and lounged around the house. We ran out to the grocery store and PetSmart. Did more laundry.
I ran a train. Since some coal loads arrived, I could add more cars to the train. The final train comprised two Reading RS-3’s, 49 coal cars, and one caboose. You can see the train in action in the video below. In order to reach the 50 cars, I had several cars I had to switch out plastic wheels for metal. I had to replace a bunch of McHenry couplers with Kadee couplers and add screws to the coupler clips on a couple of Athearn and Athearn/Roundhouse cars.
I hope everybody has a good evening.
