announce1Well Everyone the weekend is over. What did everyone get accomplished this weekend? I did a little more work on my doodlebug. Now all's that is left for me to do is to come up with a paint scheme and decals.:twisted:

:wave:Hope Everyone Had A Great Weekend.:wave:

:thumb: Have A Safe & Wonderful Week Everyone.:thumb:
 
Got some more foam down to build the base of the hill/tunnel portion of the layout. Also got some plaster work done to smooth out the slope of some spots
 
Added 1/8" plywood to the outside edges of the layout board. Fussed with the control panel fitting. One side is radiused to match the track. Just about ready for the stain.
 
I did some work on my bottle cars ,I had to give the eye balls a break and started to work on my co op building .I will attempt to bring it up off the ground level with some foam then work in the ground cover .
 
here is pics of the cement plant i started and got to finish. i also did a paint schem for our WPI&JC (West Park Industries & Jersy City).

I added frog wiring to a switch because my new loco was shorting on the points. Then I bought a new CDU because the old one stopped working. Then I put the wire from the old CDU back on the transformer. Next week: return new CDU. :cry:
Ran trains around for a while. Found loco wouldn't pull 6 Pullans up my 2% grade -- added 1/4 oz (all that would fit!) and it now gets up with a bit of spinning. Last loco had 3.5 oz added.
Now have to prepare for my demo table at the Great British Train show.
 
Hey..!! I managed to nearly finish ballasting one of the yards on the layout...I just have 2 spurs to go and one of the yards leads....That's a lot of track to ballast..!!
