Well last week I was sick as a dog and hurt my back. By the time I would get home from work, doing anything other than sitting with a heating pad and lots of medication was out of the question. So neither of my challenge projects were touched.
Today I was well enough to finish my Part 2. The engineer was painted and installed, cab closed up and under the tree she went.
I estimate the turns under the tree to be about a 20 inch radius, even with that, these coaches just make it. The roofs almost touch and the couplers strain to stay together as they navigate the wildly out of scale landscape.
Maybe I should employ a few of these giants to re-rail that rear truck.
Poking out of the tunnel.
And off to the north pole.
