Yes another weekend has passed by, what did we get done in the world of modeling?

For me I spent the weekend at the train show, ( see HO thread). Spent alot more money than I wanted to.:cry: but I'm set for a few months.
I did manage to paint up an M of W vehicle out of a Hotwheels van, stripped it during the week, then on Friday night I primed it, Sat. I painted it, Sun. morning I decaled it, looks okay for what it is.

I did run trains, had to test out my new purchases. -:thumb:

Hope everyone had a great weekend!:)
 
Spent most of the time tweaking some fresh laid track, and making a list of whats needed to start on another section of the layout. Brian if I would have had your luck this weekend I almost would have spent it on a casino :D
 
On Saturday I repaired a bit of scenery that got damaged when I put the two Layout halves back together. Sunday I was at the museum where our club layout is running trains for the public. I managed to break in my two Geeps and SW1200 there.
 
I hooked up my Water Tower Diorama to the temporary layout and ran my new IHC Lehigh & New England 0-8-0 switcher a cross it. I also added more foliage to the diorama. All in all a good modeling weekend!
 
Well, the main floor is finally painted - I just have the kitchen cabinet doors to do - so my wife and I took yesterday off from house stuff, and I started on my integrated "workstation" (i.e., it's part of the new layout, complete with a tabletop staging yard that is covered up for doing modeling projects, and a loop through route at 53"). Looks pretty kewl so far, the superstructure is all up - I'm going to start on the staging yard tonight.
 
Managed to clean up a seriously bad weathering job on the B&MC's newest motive power, a powered pair of P2K E8/9s in Alantic Coast Line colors. The silver had been damaged by the paint used for the clear flat finish and the black running gear and roofs were just.....oooooOoooo (shudder) :eek: Looking forward to seeing how well they pull their 7 matching passenger cars tomorrow.

Didn't get much done in the way of modelling, had some problems that kept me running all weekend. Read some old magizines. Fred
 
shaygetz Your E8/9s are sweeeeeeeeeet!! :thumb:


[This] last weekend I did some yard work (outside: shrubs, lawn etc.. :mad: ) went hiking, had friends over for a BBQ, had a few too many :eek: :cool: :p , saw a boring movie :curse: and painted the roof of the no-name shipping/receiving wharehouse on my layout. :wave:
 
I got those metal stands straightened out and measured them and the sections of the N scale layout.
They aren't going to work as well as I thought.
The drawers that the controllers and switch panels are in would need to be moved. This will mean doing a good bit of rewiring. I was hoping to avoid that. :(
