GEC's Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Well, I got my layout totally clear so that the Gauge car wouldn't have to share a layout with tools and junk. All of that went pretty well, though right before I left, i tinkered with my Silverliner III MUs, to get them working right. No sooner do I fix the problem I had with the cars, then I dropped one by accident, and the whole face of the car broke off.

Luckily, I managed to reattach it relatively seamlessly, but it will need a new coat of paint. It appears that when it fell, the frame actually pushed out (as opposed to the floor pushing the shell in), so the outside surface of the body shell shows no damage, other than a hairline that is probably only visible because of the paint knocked off it.

Other than that, things are going smooth, the Gauge car is parked behind my GG1 ready for next weekends show.

As crappy as breaking one of my out of production rare commuter cars is, I actually feel better that I did just get down there and tinker. Seeing as I repaired it pretty easily, I'm thinking it will be OK.

I did get today off as well, which was unexpected. Here is the damage-







Prior to the floor incident! (before pic). The holes are for ladders, grab irons, and windshield wipers.
