Hey all,
Temps are finally cooling off here though we still have some moisture in the air. Work is steady with the busy season (Oct.-Feb.) looming. Lots of road work around town.
I got another battery op G set the other day the loco has a 0-6-0 wheel arrangement, made in china of course. Looked at bench littered with unfinished projects must tidy up and complete one at a time. The most likely is some Ye ole huff n puff flats need painted underside and trucks mounted( I have the trucks on hand) so I will have 4 rail ready flats needing loads. then I will need to complete a Moxie wood refrigerator car. Then on to completing my station build which needs interior detailing. and then maybe I will take another go at a pizza box diorama, I have a general idea of what I want to build which is a start. Also will soon be wiring up layout.
Any of the other O gaugers have any pros or cons as far as the MTH Z-4000 vs. lionels- new ZW vs. an original ZW transformers?
Had all but one loop(5 out of 6) running the other day. 4 O gauge and 2 S gauge loops.
Spending on trains has got to slow down till I get the accessories for layout and everything wired up. Maybe this October I will get around to some hobby shops to look for new or used accessories and maybe finally getting my old AF350 repaired and on the rails again.
I finally got around to seeing the Star Wars the force awakens, it was better than what I expected.
