The MIK is behind us, and Kid-zilla has determined that his next project will be to transform a pile of Bachmann 10-wheeler bits from @Rooster , @PeterT , probably @David_Marconi_FOGCH , the Hawaii Historical Railroad, and probably other places into a working 10-wheeler. He already started gathering the bits on the lanai…
…and he has been dutifully restoring a non-B’mann tender to its former glory through the use of a paint marker.
He has asked me to note he did this work without masking!
Last year, we worked side by side to make his Starliners ( Triple O – Bachmann 10-Wheeler Salvage Campaign). This year, I am going to try really, really hard to step back into an advisory role. As such, I will be documenting his progress as I see it, not necessarily as he does it. My main effort will be on safety with a secondary effort on success. My goal is to not touch a tool or paint brush.
I am sure he can see his goal of bringing this beast to life through to completion. I know I will struggle to see my train buddy strike out on his own.
Updates as I catch them!
Eric
