We took the kids into Philadelphia to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology to see the Chinese New Year Lion Dance on Saturday. The trip was an optional school trip for my son’s 2nd grade class who are studying China. It was a fun trip and my daughter enjoyed it because she got to see mummies and things about ancient Egypt which she is very interested in. Of course we rode the train into the city.
I had a very good weekend modeling. I finished weathering the wheels and trucks for the three Atlas open hoppers I am working on. I also began weathering the hoppers themselves. I completed the upgrades to a custom painted LNE Mantua caboose that included installing window glazing, painting the railings and ladders yellow, and re-weathering the wheels. I still need to do some final weathering to the caboose. I completed installing the window glazing for the farm house. I began working on the F&C kit by etching lines on the back of the side pieces to look like wood boards. And lastly I glued the last of the pink foam down to make the layout base.
