It ain't the years, It's the mileage. I was raised a military brat, and wanderlust still comes over me every 3 or 4 years. Still love to travel.

Weekend Exploits

Or should I say weeklong exploits as I was off from work all week. Although I spent more time at it this weekend that I did all week.

Finally finished painting the rails "rusty".
Distressed and painted a bunch of "telegraph" or "telephone" poles.
Then I took a little detour and repainted a station I had, as my thinking is I'll use it for a cafe or "Greasy Spoon" trackside.


Depot I painted  this weekend



Looks kind of run down doesn't it? It may get a fresh coat after I decide for sure what to do with it.

After that I also re-painted a little freight depot I had on hand.

Still have to get after the rail ties this week because of the "overpainting" I did when I was painting the rails. Hopefully I can shake loose a little time after work this week to get that taken care of.

Also this weekend, I found in one of my myriad train "Stuff" boxes almost enough Atlas "Snap Track" to nearly re-lay all the track on my defunct "Scenic and Relaxed" Rail road.

Score!

That could be my next little project. I'll have to look more into converting it to C55 later. But I could probably do it in code 80 or 100 with the stuff I have on hand...
