Now that we are officially into Spring:
Yesterday I ran some battery power. The weather was cold and breezy but my son insisted we run trains. We took the mogul out in the evening. No live steam, too windy.
You said your son wanted to run trains. LOL

ACCCCK!!! NOOOOOOO!!! The Horror…The Horror!!!
I ran a streetcar this past weekend to make sure I didn’t mess up the wiring while redoing the front side of the upper reverse loop. I decided to remove my hand-laid switch and put in an Aristo wide radius switch. I also replaced the curve that feeds into the switch with a 4 foot diameter curve. It turns out that the existing curve was a bit tighter then that.

I feel for ya Boomer. Did it at least melt my afternoon? That’s the only good thing about early and late season snow, it doesn’t last.

Here is the Mill I pawned off Ken. I knew it would look great on the layout. Just needs some detailing and some water for the water wheel. My plan is to just have pond less water feature.
