PROGRESS ON MY PEAVINE SUB

 

to all

this is a short video on the progress i made this weekend....the PEAVINE is underway. now it's over to Lowes to pick up some material for the sub roadbed & back drop. i had a slight advantage because i recycled my previous frame work. all the work was done by me solo..the only help i had was 5 clamps. i don't think my hand appreciated all the work because it hurts like hell. until next time....bnsf6951 out

TEAR DOWN #3

GETTING IT DONE...I STARTED THIS  ABOUT 6AM YESTERDAY MORNING I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS UP TO THIS POINT. STILL HAVE A BUNCH MORE TO DO & I NEED TO GET IT DONE BY TOMORROW NIGHT. I AM GOING IN FOR MINOR HAND SURGERY ON TUESDAY
THE 2 PAINT SWATCHES I SHOWED AT THE OPEN NING OF THIS VID CAN BE FOUND AT LOWES. IT'S THEIR "VALSPAR BRAND" I THINK THAT THE TEXTURE IS GOING TO BE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR MY "N" SCALE STRUCTURES TO BE ADDED TO THE EXISTING WALLS TO CREATE A STUCCO EFFECT. I TOOK A BUNCH OF EACH COLOR.

SWITCHING INDUSTRIES IN N. GLENDALE AZ

 to all

here is the switching action that i was asking about in my last post. i decided rather than pushing the empties back that i would drive the locos down the main to the east end of glendale siding & switch into the siding to pull the cars back home.

 some how a whole section of the video is missing. after switching the last cars to phoenix plastics, i drove the power to the east end of glendale siding & coupled up to the empties & proceeded down the hill to mobest yard.

here's the video
