This Global Warming/Climate Change crap is just that … bovine excrement!
Plenty of light, the sun shines brightly, nary a cloud in the sky … and a 20-25 knot breeze … directly into the open garage door, bringing all the dust from the neighborhood right in the door!
So, donning a twin stage/double element respirator under which I’m breathing through a nasal cannula pumping out 3 liters/minute O2, I stirred the paint in a few jars, grabbed a "00" Windsor-Newton Series Seven red sable brush, a "0000" spotter and my Optivisor and had some fun with the appointments of the cab interior …

So it smells a bit odd in here right now ... the wonderful odors of dinner cooking will soon overpower that ... won't they?
I must say that I'm seriously considering a handlectomy on the train brake lever ... It's a bit on the clunky side! The poor LPB working as the engineer would need both hands to get a grip on that thing!
Tonight I’ll clean out the gears and gear towers of all the old lubrication, apply fresh Atlas #190 Gear Lube, re-assemble the Chassis and running gear and let it sit on the new Bachrus Saddles for an hour or so, varying the speed every 15 minutes or so to ensure that gears get to know each other and become intimately friendly. Once I’m certain that all is copasetic, it’ll be time to embark on my first decoder install
