Working on the railroad. Can you say “Zmall”? I’m just dabbling in the small scale. I think it’s cool but is IS pricey.
A set is $350+ most everything is ala carte & it’s expensive.
Wasn’t difficult to paint the loco or caboose. Decals not hard either. #modeltrains #sooline #Zscale

Made a 2x2’ n scale layout to be inspiring and intriguing. You can have a model railroad w/o a whole room! #trains #nmra #modelrailroading

Made some good progress on a scene that I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

She started life here.

She started life here.
Decaling the 212-A tonight. Finished painting and sealing yesterday. Decals will dry through tmrw pm. Then I’ll seal them in with clear matte.
Then the glass, lenses, and deets go on & we’re rollin’!
A far cry from where she started life as a NS F7.

Rivarossi 4-6-2 DC to DCC transition complete 🤞🏽Took Me at least 2 years to figure out how the ⚡️moved through the chassis. I promptly routed power back into the decoder and fried up another decoder as sacrifice to the DCC gods. 💩
My community of modelers helped me understand & fix the prob. #whyNMRA

Did some scenery the past couple of days.
On (follow on FB) the Soo Line West and on our #NMRA 3rd Div PNR 2x2’ mini-layout in.
Things turned out well.
