The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #IX.. Stop In!!!

[tompm]

Good afternoon folks

It is 87 heading up to 88 and still under a Heat Advisory until this evening. Again there is a chance of thunderstorms. We had nothing but a slight drizzle yesterday. If we don't get some rain today I will have to water the gardens tonight.

I am done the house chores for the day. Trying to figure out if we need to run some errands or not.

I continued to work on adding screws to the Athearn coupler pockets to hold the clips. Hit a snag last night. The 50 foot flat car I was working has some problems. The part of the frame with the coupler pocket almost broke off. I had to glue it back together. The car has older metal spring trucks that don't look so good and plastic wheels. I need to change both. I have the wheels but not the trucks. I found a guy on eBay who sells blue box kit parts and order several pair off of him. I will continue working on the other cars in the train.

I hope everybody has a good day.
