Does that mean that your hand is on the mend?

Hi Neil and all.

more retaining wall NB&W details

It is a rather dodgy retaining wall - "thngs" have "moved" over time. It was straight when it was built a twenty years previously. 

The downhill run protected by the retaining wall heads down to the lower level at the powerhouse on the next module, but never quite gets there because the powerhouse loading bay is off layout. That's nuts enough for now, 

After using my very small unlit magnifier and trying to solder 0402 LEDs, I went to Harbor Freight Tools and bought my self a new magnifier light!  All I can say is, "what took me so long?"

Nice light, I should head over there witha 20% coupon and snag one. I got my magnetic tool bar for free last time I went there with a coupon.

Started building this Walthers Vintage Dairy Queen kit.

I had no idea they made one, I GOTTA find one now. Our family loves DQ. In fact the Dairy Queen here in MAINE just opened for the season. Last year we got Blizzards during a Blizzard #dadjokes

Walthers made both a "classic" and modern DQ. I bought 2 and 4, respectively; but those are unlikely to see my workbench any time soon -- I have too many locomotive and rolling stock projects to get through first!

John, that is one super realistic retaining wall and scene.

gpenelton, what decades would that DQ be appropriate for?

Re-powering an F7B unit with an eddy current transmission and using battery power, controlled with R/C.
