Good morning.
I had to take the car to town for gas. 2.49 a gallon here and climbing.
A few flurries in the air but slightly warmer than yesterday.
I did a decoder install in a Baldwin RS12 yesterday. Lots of room for it and even had room for a sound unit in the hood. I need to paint the shell before I can install the lights but it is too cold for that and I don't have a paint booth set up in the train barn. I don't have many locomotives left to paint so I don't think it worthwhile to build a booth. I may consider a quick one from a small fan and cardboard box with an exhaust filter if it comes to that.
Nothing else going on worth reporting.
Stay warm and safe.
Charlie
