Here is a simple and cheap project to dress up your railroad; a metal whistle sign. Using some scrap metal shelving I cut out the sign's rectangular shape then rounded the corner. Stripping the old paint off with a grinder and sander I then painted it white and added the W. To make the vinyl W last longer I clear coated the sign faces.

Over the last 12 years we have been part or done 100s of charity events and a ton of volunteer work. From raising money for Make a Wish to Wounded Warrior, spending time with special needs kids, doing community events, and all on our own dime. To see the smiles or new found hope in someone's eyes makes it all worthwhile. With 2020 though there has not been much to do with the exception of a few online things. With the addition of the trains we have another way to contribute. Things are starting to look up though as we get ready for next year!
With the newly laid ballast down and a few days of rain over with. The final tamping of the ballast has begun.   Was having problems with this gondola derailing due to the tightness of the turn so I lightened up the frame in the areas it was making contact. It worked great for light passengers but big adults would actually flex the frame and make it derail that way. So soon I will rip out the whole frame and replace it with a metal one.     Around this time last year we finally met Ed and 4014. Ed gave a live video tour of 4014 and 844 over the weekend in storage and the 9000 miles worth of repairs and adjustments still going on currently.   |
