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

[Running Bear]

Raining and getting cooler here. It's 35 with an 80% chance of rain.

Well I did do a little work on the layout today. I have only one gap left in the mainline. I cut a piece of straight track to fit into it. Tomorrow I'll add the rail joiner it needs then put it in place. I ran a train too. Well a consist of four F units. An F7A and three F3B's. I punched It's address into the Zephyr and moved the locos forward a few feet, stopped, then backed them up a few feet. It's the most they've moved in seven months. I couldn't remember their address so I had to put the A unit on the program track and read back CV1. I also put the GP40's back on the track. They had gotten knocked over when the tree hit my trailer. The part of the track they're on will be replaced as soon as I get around to doing it. Some of the straight pieces are bowed up at the ends and the cars can be seen to rise and fall as they go over that stretch. I've put up with it for years.

I formatted seventy-five 5.25" floppy disks today. Being I did both sides it was the equivalent of formatting one hundred fifty disks. There were only three duds.

Notice the locos headlight is on. There's power the that track. Finally.


A toy from the past. A Tyco operating log dump car. I have the dump station, logs, push button, instructions, track and box.
