Finally did it. 
About 6 months ago I bought a 3D printer. This was something I have been familiar with for years as an engineer. Prototyping part on 3D was fairly new and expensive. 6 figures expensive for a good machine.

Wherarewe Cat resides on the east end of Wyocena yard. I normally like to scratch build but I have had this Walther's kit (International Truck) for some time and the location on the layout has changed a number of times before construction. Still have a bunch of scenery work to do around the dealership and the lights need to be hooked up.

Next scenery project is the area around 6th Ave Yard.  I have the the yard office and the support buildings done, now to the homes around 6th Ave.

I closed on my condo purchase yesterday, what an ordeal!

But it's done, I paid, and I have a key.  It's a 3 bedroom place, a lot of space for just one guy. I've been renting in this same building for 3 1/2 years, so I know the annoyances and risks and I was pretty comfortable with the building. 

I don't know if in today's covid world I'd risk buying, but the deal was made and committed to back in January. The closing got held up for about a month from the original plan of April 20 due to covid shutdowns.

Please allow this if correct.  Please refuse it if not.

I got tired of doing scenery so I switched to running trains.  Over the couple of weeks, I have been testing the first section of my "Train Sequence Schedule". The first 6 of 19 trains scheduled during the 0001 AM - 0600 AM time frame have been run so far and I have had to make some changes as to where trains are parked in the staging level as well as in Union Station.

;I'll need dimensions to start the process of cutting out the parts.  It's hard to believe how time flies, but it was 10 years ago that my wife, sister, and I visited my childhood home after contacting the current owner to get permission.  She was very gracious and not only allowed us to take pictures of the outside but invited us inside to see the home.  What a blast from the past!  She has done a great job with the house and wanted me to send pictures of the finished model.

Work continues in Eastpointe.  Will add 17 more trees and 2 more LPG tanks tomorrow.  Working on the LPG unloading racks, truck loading racks, fencing and guard rails over next weekend.  Happy with the progress, although taking my time.  Added some rail fans in a couple locations along the tracks as well.

Have been experimenting with a new concept for scalable, customisable roads, that can be installed in minutes...
